Review: Tightlacing Off-The-Rack Corsets Under $100 | The Lingerie Addict: Lingerie for Who You Are

Over the recent years, the off-the-rack end of the corset market has boomed.  Lots of brands have discovered the demand for curvy corsets without the custom price tag and have filled the niche to much praise.  Last week Marianne covered the top 3 starter corset brands under $100 – as a corset obsessive (regularly wearing and making them), I was intrigued to see what this new breed of heavily-shaping underbusts could offer.

I chose three underbusts under $100 from some of the most prominent ‘affordable’ brands: Restyle, Orchard Corset and Mystic City.  Each corset was purchased in a size 20″ waist, offering the closest comfortable measurements to my natural ribcage and hip measurements (which are, for reference, a 27.5″ ribcage, 33″ high hip and 35″ low hip. My natural waist measurement is 25″).

I must admit that when I went into these reviews, I was skeptical -the prices are just too low for me to be able to equate them to what I would define as a ‘good corset’. The price tags they carry – between $50-99 a piece – wouldn’t even begin to cover my bare material costs if I wanted to make my own corset.  I think it’s very important when approaching budget corsetry to keep reasonable expectations. At this price point, something has to be missing that you’d otherwise expect from a non-budget brand – whether that be ethical manufacturing (I’m not going to comment on individual companies, but suffice to say large parts of Asia don’t have a great track record compared to say, Europe), good quality fabrics and components (such as fine weave coutil and German steel busks), curvy patterning, hand finished binding and accurate stitching. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but these are all areas that are important to address – I’m a strong believer in getting what you pay for.
