Scarlet Darkness Corset Tops for Women Renaissance Boned Overbust Bustier Corset Top

I wore this to the Renaissance Festival. It was very muddy & wet there due to a storm and I got filthy. However, all the stains came out and I got 6 compliments on the outfit. Thank you for making me beautiful and for a wonderful, comfortable corset. It fit nice, great quality, the zipper made it soooo much easier to put on and it’s true to size (126-130 pds & I got a size 8). You won’t regret buying it. Read more

i got this for a renfaire, but i actually wear it for real outfits as well. here’s the thing about corsets/bustiers/anything with lacing/boning: they will compress. SHOCKING! if you follow the size chart, you will end up with a garment that is form fitting and has a little compression. if you’re not into that and you’re looking for more of a top / you want the sides to lace completely closed, size up. if you have a sensory thing and you don’t want your breathing restricted, size up. if you want to not wear a bra / you don’t mind the compression / want the back to touch or mostly touch, follow the chart. the chart is accurate. remember that this is a satin CORSET with BONING, not a stretchy cotton. size down if you’re a masochist and looking for cinching (or if you’re a member of the IBTC). as a former lifelong cardholding member of the IBTC, this would have fit better in the size i got if i wasn’t currently breastfeeding. still getting used to buying things while keeping my new bra size in mind. the girls WILL take up some of your breathing room. with that in mind, buy mostly off waist size, because you can have the top of the garment laced looser if you have boobs to consider. buying based on boob size can make it so that it it doesn’t fit super well in the waist. the back won’t overlap, just lace closed. if you actually have big boobies, then i would consult the other big booby reviews because i cannot speak for anyone past a 34D. anyways, here’s my thoughts: i LOVE the zipper. if you have the corset laced on the tighter side, you’ll have to redo the lacing every time you put it back on, and that is easier with someone helping. pushed the girls UP, as you can see. looked SOOOO good with my outfit. i love the material, but i’m not sure how to wash it without ruining the boning. i’ll probably just spot clean and hang dry forever because i'm scared. was it super comfortable? not in the way a cotton shirt is, because again, there is NO STRETCH. since i’m breastfeeding, it got increasingly uncomfortable as time went on for obvious reasons. if you’re not milk making right now, you’ll be just fine. i just loosed the lacing a little bit and it was fine. looked a little funny in the back, but what you see in the back is none of my business bc i looked really good from the front and that’s all that matters.

This corset looked good on and was comfortable for all-day wear. It seems pretty well made for just wearing as a costume. I feel like for tight-lacing, it might not work, since the boning doesn’t seem to be made for that. I wish I had ordered a size down because I would have liked it to be slightly tighter, but it still looked nice with my Ren Faire costume and stayed in place, even though it was bit too large for me. I wish it was a little longer, though, as I have a longer torso. Other than wishing it was longer and having ordered a size down, I would recommend this as an inexpensive corset for Ren Faires, costumes, cosplay, or larping. Read more

This is a very well made, very flattering top. The deep red color was vibrant. The fabric is soft with a slight stretch and the zipper makes it so easy to get on and off. And The boning keeps the structure nicely. However, if you are looking for a corset to cinch your waist, this is not the one for you. Because of the slight stretch, and because of where it hits on the waist, it does not provide a lot of support and waste cinching. But I’m still giving it five stars because it is such a cute top and looks amazing over a peasant blouse. Read more

Fits great and looks great. The side zipper is great for getting on and off. Read more

Good quality corset. I ordered size 6. I normally wear a size small and I’m 130 pounds 5’2”. The corset fit me perfectly. I wore it as part of a costume to the Renaissance fair. I would order more corsets from this brand. Read more

Looks really good on. It has a small zipper on the side so you still have to tighten the ribbon cinch after you zip. I probably could have sized down one size because of how adjustable the ribbon is. And you want it real tight to boost the girls. Can probably be adjusted by oneself, but I will be asking a friend to tighten my cinch for me. Slight work to put on but very easy to take off. Sturdy construction, but I wish the fabric was a bit more durable- it feels like it will snag easily. Read more

I bought this to go with my skirt to wear on Highlands/Scottish weekend at the ren fair. It seems very supportive initially, until you sit down and, if you're laced on the tighter side, the bottom part will flip up and the boning will bend and warp until you can get the corset back off and bend the boning the other way. I could've sworn I'd seen before that this had some steel boning in it, but now I can't find it in the description. It's definitely all plastic or an aluminum, and seeing as the lacing is ribbons and there's a side zipper, it's definitely meant for fashion, but I'd hoped it would've had a little more oomph than it does. It was such a pain trying to get the bottom to stay down when I was sitting. And then, like I said, from there on out, it was warped and strangely made it look like my bust was down by my belly button. I had my husband lace me in, and I checked the back, so I know the laces were straight up and down. At the moment, I don't plan on wearing it again, but if I do have an event I can wear it to, I'll be looking into replacing the boning. (Just a slice and replace job, nothing elaborate, if I can find cheap steel in a similar width.) So it's a decent fashion corset for a decent price, and the boning is typical of a fashion corset of that price. Don't expect the boning to stay straight. Read more
