KimringWomen's Steampunk Victorian Off Shoulder Corset Top with High Low Skirt

I had a military ball to go to and I wanted to not be status quo! I got this dress and put a tulle petticoat under it. The compliments I received were endless. My husband loved it. I was shocked that it didn’t look as costumey as I thought after I used the tulle petticoat (I got off Amazon too) to make it look so much more expensive. My husband said that he saw a lot of jealous women eyeing me. I had people make it a point to come up to me and give me compliments. The corset made it elegant as it was well made and beautifully put together. I did order a size up as I knew I had to listen to endless command speeches and wanted to sit more comfortably. I also liked the idea of having an open back so I actually didn’t use the back modesty panel. I just tucked it into the corset as it’s attached. If I wanted to do so I would have had to get 2 sizes up instead of 1 but I wanted an open back. We had a photographer at the ball who kept taking pictures of me as my dress was so elaborate. Most of the guys go out for an after party in the city so I walked around in that dress late into the night and had no issues. You may need a little help having someone lace you up. My husband got me into it easily but since it is laced up in the back it needs another person to help you into it. The corset is very expensive looking. The sleeves I was worried would look cheap but since they are black they blend in very well. It’s a very dramatic dress yet very modern. I was concerned I’d look like a saloon girl in those amusement park photos but this was so well done it looked like a modern dress with my petticoat. I don’t know how I’ll top this dress next year. His Lt. made it a point to compliment the dress. I would highly recommend this and for the price it’s not just a cheap tatty dress.

I’ve got two significant pieces of advice for you.1. Make sure to accurately measure your waist2. Order itThe size chart specifically states that it was updated 08/2024. Since we are now past that, if you’re ordering now, you can trust it.My waist is currently 31”. Because that’s very close to being between XL and XXL, I ordered them both. The XL fit fantastically. I posted a picture showing how the back lacing looked. It was even a bit tighter after having someone else help me.I wore this to a masquerade ball and got compliments all night. Even after the event, a few people kept telling me how amazing the dress looked. For the price, I couldn’t have found a better option (and I searched all over). Plus, it’s a legitimate outfit, as in not just some cheap Halloween style junk. Even after having quite a few people step on my skirt, it’s still undamaged and perfectly wearable.

It's a beautiful dress, the only bad thing is the laces are too thin and feel like it can break quickly but until now it still in good condition. You definitely need someone to help you tie the corset and to remove too.

The entire outfit is very cute and comfortable. The skirt does need to be fluffed out the box.The sizing chart is true accurate so order accordingly. For reference I am 5”5 135-140 pounds with measurements 36-28-36.Sadly I am returning because we decided to go with a different theme for a Halloween Party.

Quality was above and beyond what I expected. This is a solid piece of clothing with good fabric and very good finishing. Highly recommend. Did size up and glad I did.

Bought this for an evening event at Spirit Mansion. Plan was to dress in Gothic/Victorian attire. I am 5’6 and 143lbs and the XL fit great with just an inch or so of space before corset was completely tightened so a large may have worked as well if corset was loosened more as it does have a 4in modesty panel. I was able to wiggle in it by myself but the buttons were pretty difficult to hook back together so it might be easier to loosen the corset and leave buttons closed (if you have someone to help tighten back up). The skirt was long and flowy and had an elastic waist so it could fit a variety of waist sizes smaller or larger. It did seem a bit long but hopefully I can find some heeled boots or platforms to help but I bet I can pin up/roll up at the waist or pull up higher under the corset to shorten the length some.

Runs a little in the small side and the material is thin and will tear easy if not careful. Price is high for the quality, but it is very pretty.

The sizing guide with the product photos ARE accurate. If you’re normally a size small, you’ll be a medium on the product sizing chart. I’m 5’5 125lbs and a medium fits me well.The corset is well made, it does not give off a cheap look at all. It has some flexibility with sizing with the lace up in the back.My only issue has nothing to do with the costume itself, this is a notice for smaller chested ladies. The corset seemed to smash my little chicken cutlets down to make me look flatter than I already am. It’s just a flat garment that is designed to push up bigger boobs. If you have no boobs, there’s nothing to push up. I put in some falsies which seemed to help a little bit.Some reviewers said the skirt wasn’t poofy enough but I disagree. It has plenty of poof and the lace is very pretty.Lastly, as promised, this costume was delivered on time.I would highly recommend this costume! Very classy, it fits well, it’s comfortable AND very flattering!!
