I couldn't wait to surprise my husband with the new lingerie I received from Eden Fantasys! I thought that the Red Rose Satin Corset Set was very sexy and it seemed that there were a ton of tiny details about it that I would love too. For instance, I really liked the satin material and bright red color of the corset. Next, I loved the lace detail of the bra peeking out of the top of the corset itself. I also loved the removable straps on both the bra as well as the garters, and I liked how the thong matched the lace detail of the bra.
Then, I tried it on and found a several things I didn't care for. First, the corset was extremely hard to get on. The underwire bra is actually sewn inside the corset and doesn't really have a back to it, although it moves freely in the front. Once, I finally got the bra to stay in one place, I started to secure the hook and eye closures on the back of the corset, only to find that it was too big! I ordered a size 36, which is what I've worn in bras for years and this corset SWAMPS me!
A loose-fitting corset is not very flattering at all. Also, the lace bra does not peek out of the top of the corset for me. I couldn't figure out how to try and get what I was wearing to look like what was going on the picture, no matter how hard I tried. If you want to look good in the Red Rose Satin Corset Set, I would also suggest that you have a fairly good body to start with. Although corsets are supposed to "suck you in" and give you that sexy, hourglass figure, the boning on this garment didn't seem very strong or sturdy. I wouldn't expect much "sucking in" or help with your figure in this lingerie.
The thong and thigh highs fit perfectly, but the corset is a pretty essential piece in this set and I just couldn't get it to fit or look right. Basically, if you are going to order this set, I would suggest ordering it at least one, maybe two, sizes smaller. This corset can be laced up in the front, so there's always a little extra room there if you need it. I wish I would have went with the 34 size instead, but since I haven't worn a 34 bra since high school, I never dreamed of ordering that here.
I have to say that because the size was too big and the corset looked so unflattering, I did not wear this set in front of my husband. Oh well, back to the drawing board...

Too bad it didn't fit you properly!
I wonder if this applies to other items (especially corsets) from the same Manufacturer ? Corset definitely should be tight. Comfortable, but tight. That's its purpose - to shape the shilouette.
