Product Reviews


The biggest amount of positive customer reviews comes from customers describing themselves as "curvy", "hourglass shaped" or "mom body".


👍 Likes:

  • Bottoms: High waist that hides belly fat and mom stomach, accentuates butt, beautiful corset tie in the back

  • Overall: Runs true to size, very stretchy and comfortable


👎 Dislikes:

  • Bottoms: Bit uncomfortable due to missing gusset

Manufacturers' Q&A



Some customers mentioned the lace top having no support, how could we adapt the product to keep the shape and the sheer bralette style but add support?


You could add support in many ways, i.e. by adding an underwire, using silicone lining on the rims, wider (adjustable) straps or a thicker fabric for the band with more hooks to ensure tight fit.


Many customers complained about the clips of the garter belt breaking or being difficult to attach. What would you advise?


Garter clips mostly come in two variants: loop-and-button or suspender. The lingerie products above seem to use the loop-and-button version which is usually cheaper but more flimsy and harder to attach on thicker material.


The suspender clip easily clamps down and holds in place even the thickest material. That being said, we wouldn't advise a suspender clip on very delicate stockings as the little teeth could ladder the fabric.
