Kimring Women's Gothic Jacquard Shoulder Straps Tank Overbust Corset Bustiers

I purchased this to augment my outfit for Renaissance Faire.It’s not authentic, I wasn’t expecting that, especially for this price point, description or synthetic materials. Anyone who does needs to read more before purchasing. What came on my package is finished nicely. It fits as well as could be expected after loosening and then tightening the lacings and it feels relatively comfortable. I absolutely love the colors, texture, and richness of the brocade fabric. It’s pretty to look at.The laces are generous, which allows me to reach behind myself and tighten them up if needed. They are also sturdy, more like shoestring than ribbons. I wasn’t afraid to pull them hard.I’m short waisted, so I spent a little time adjusting the bodice downward when tightening the ties. It wanted to tide up. Once I positioned my top bits into the cups and adjusted them everything stayed put.The only area of design that I felt could be better was the elastic on the shoulder straps. It kind of looks cheap, and out of place. It helps with adjustment and fit. It would look better if hidden.I would recommend this corset for someone looking for a costume option. It exceeded my expectations.I took my measurements and used the manufacturer’s recommendations. I chose a size xxl vs. the medium I usually wear or large recommended by Amazon. I like the fit, I was concerned about significant back showing between the lacing, and the corset almost closes at the back with less than an inch gap showing.

I really do like this corset but I will likely wear a bra or silicone inserts with it. It's very long, and rides higher than expected. The bra cups were a little misshapen due to shipping but I'm sure the shape will even out with time. I don't quite fill out the cups which is unfortunate (and why I typically steer clear of corsets with shaped cups) but I'm on the small side of a 30c, the girls ain't very big. I'm not sure if I like the elastic on the straps- the aesthetics of the straps themselves were why I debated for some time between this and a similar corset- but looks-wise I don't dislike them and fit/comfort-wise they're not bothersome.I'm still rating this 5 stars because I do really like it and with some padding it'll fit just fine in the chest area, and the rest of it fits perfectly and looks great. I didn't even mention all the details and little things because I'm limited on time so I wanted to focus on fit, but if you're on the fence just get it! It's really beautiful!

This item was a real disappointment. While reasonably well-constructed, the corset is very poorly designed. No matter the size ordered, I cannot imagine it will properly fit anyone with a bra size larger than a small B. There are no true cups in the bust, rather are there flat panels which push one's breasts against the chest cavity, resulting in a very unflattering look. The underwire provides no support whatsoever and, more important, rides too high in the design of the 'overbust' section of the corset, about one-third higher than the bottom of one's breasts. The corset would fit a boy or thin man but it will not properly fit a woman with curves. Meanwhile, the zipper is a disaster. Several times the zipper pinched into my skin while I attempted to zip myself into the corset. Front clasps would be a much better option.Prior to buying the item, I queried the community about the proper size to purchase. The seller himself suggested a Large or X-Large would fit. I thought better, went one size larger on my purchase and still faced frustration and disappointment. Mind you, I am very fit, albeit very tall, woman, measuring 38F-30-41, and should easily fit into any corset measuring the XXL size I purchased.I would have provided pictures but, truth be told, I could not find any way to make this corset conform to my body.

Such a beautiful corset top but I have to return because I got it too small. I’m typically a large- XL with 38dd breasts. I ordered the 2X and had no luck. I’d likely have to go with anywhere from 3X-5X for it to fit right. Not only would I recommend sizing up in general, I’d size up even more if you have a larger chest. Design and quality are amazing though!!

This is so pretty for the price. I ordered the blue and the fabric is lovely. The fake leather piping on the bodice is kinda' cheesy but for the price it is just fine, and besides with as much push up as the cups give...no one will be looking at the piping. Back to the push up effect...the bra cups are flat and angled inward in order to create mounds (pun intended) of cleavage. If you want the cups to cover and be molded like bra cups this is not your corset. The zipper on the side is helpful in getting into the corset. The zipper tab sits at the top when fully zipped. When unzipped it will open completely like the zipper on a jacket. So to put it on, you would loosen the laces on the back, unzip the zipper, put it on, re-zip and tighten. Easy-peasy. Just like any corset, the waist measurement is the most important. With most corsets the waist measurement on the size chart is the measurement of the garment fully closed. For instance if you have a 33 inch waist measurement, and you order a corset with a 33 inch waist, it will measure 33 inches when the panels meet in the back. Once the panels meet in the back you can no longer tighten it further so that it reduces your waist, or conforms to your shape. This is where that 5 inch panel in the back comes in. If you take your actual waist measurement (be honest ladies, and actually measure) and you go down between 3 and 6 inches (depending on how much panel in the back, you would like to show, and how much room to tighten you would like) it will leave you room to tighten the corset and fit it to your frame. That being said, don't expect a full on waist training corset here, this one is pretty much just for show. Hope this helps someone
