Corset Chick Leopard corset

        CORSET CHICK  LEOPARD CORSET WITH TU-TU SKIRT


  My lovely readers, it's no secret that I am a fan of corsets and really all lingerie. But something about a good corset can make a world of difference for the girl wearing it. They're very feminine, sexy and can be classy all at the same time. I've had good ones and I've had ill-fitting ones. We'll talk about my latest 'good ones' from the amazing Corset Chick.


  This wild, unique and fun Leopard Corset with skirt is made of a beautiful silky material. The ribbon lace-up back and zipper located at the side makes for a 100% purrfect and completely comfortable fit. Wrapping the corset around you then zipping it and having someone lace the back for you allows for a very adjustable fit. The ribbon is very long, when I'm all tied into the corset it hits the back of my knees so it's long enough to be adjusted as much as you please.                                              

  I should add that the sizes can run small, but when you click on any corset at CorsetChick.com they have a very handy size chart so you can determine what size you need with no worries. The corsets are, like I said very adjustable so even if you happen to be in-between sizes you'll be able to fit right into it just fine.

  I'm more than happy with the comfort of this corset. Believe me, I've had some that are so uncomfortable I can't bend over. I've had no problems maneuvering around in this one and since it's so silky, it doesn't cause discomfort. Even with the 12 plastic bones, I'm able to fully bend over and move. They are very soft. I can't even tell they are there. I don't have to worry about them snapping in half when I bend and move. With the inside of the corset feeling just as silky as the outside, there's no itchy, irritating inner lining to aggravate.

  Even at $25 dollar, this corset is mind blowingly beautiful and high quality, made very, very well. I don't know if any of you have seen them, but I've noticed a lot of the more recent corsets on the market looking beautiful until you get it and it looks cheap and fits even cheaper. I hate that and with the prices of a corset that's enough to turn you off for good. That's why Corset Chick is like life saver! They have the same corsets you see on other sites that go for $60 + only these are much, much cheaper. They're actually affordable to a full time college student! There's no chance in heck I'll be spending my money elsewhere. Some of you may recall me doing a post on a purple silk corset with a tu-tu skirt in the past. That thing was over $65! The Leopard Corset with tu-tu skirt from Corset Chick is the same brand and they even carry the same exact purple silk corset with the skirt for $20-something! Yes, I did kick myself for that! Lol.

  With 2 layers of black lacy material around the bust and at the very bottom (lace goes all the way around) it is a truly beautiful piece of lingerie. I'm very pleased with the fit. I have had corsets that seem to be made for a giraffe's torso and not a 5"2 female. That resulted in the front just kind of dangling in front of my crotch. Lol Not sexy. Then I've had the issue where it fits, but it doesn't. I'll tie it as tight as possible and if I sit down it fits, stand up and the area that covers my stomach pokes straight out! I've tried bending them to lie flat to my stomach, but it doesn't happen. The Leopard corset hits perfectly above the jeans line and there are 2 silky black bows on either side of the front bottom area.

   With the tu-tu skirt on it all blends beautifully together. I felt adorable! It actually looked like a well fitting dress when all put together. I was wearing it with black leggings under the skirt - - which I have to say looks very cute if you're planning to go out and my sister thought it was just one dress until I shower her they were seperates. I had a ton of compliments about the out fit. I'm sure soon I won't be the only girl around here in a corset!

  Besides the high quality, beautiful items and prices Corset Chick has much more to offer. By their name you may have gotten the idea that they only offer corsets. Nope! Now you're wondering could they really get any better? You bet your sweet.... I get carried away here. They also have club wear (oh you bet I've already been scoping that section out!) and a hosiery section which I must say, they do catch my eye. They have really sexy body stockings in the hosiery section. Certainly not your every day hosiery so if you're looking to throw in some sexy, unique hosiery with well, any outfit, you can find it there and for an outstanding price.

   And if you're not into wild and sexy, they have a cozy Sleepwear section too! In the Sleepwear section you can find things like sexy and comfortable chemises, baby dolls, beautiful robes and lots of silk!

  You can scan the costume section if you're looking to play dress up. You can choose from a sexy maid to a school girl to a bad a** police woman! And actually you could probably be all 3 for what you'd normally pay for just one costume. (I can't stop raving about those awesome prices!)

   While you're at it you can even pick up sexy shoes, bustiers, teddies, and skirts. The list is almost endless.


   If you couldn't tell, I am beyond impressed with Corset Chick. They have made me a very happy girl and will continue to do so. I might just need to cut down on my wish list, nah. I can always make more room in my closet! I really do think highly of them as a company. The items are so delectable and I give serious kudos to them for the outstanding prices, the beautiful product and they aren't one of those companies who "only believe in lingerie for tiny girls." They have plus sizes too. :) I really appreciate the prices and product.  Heck, college girls want to be sexy too! Lol. It's just not always possible to fork over for high prices like you would with most companies. I don't know of a single other company who offers so much for so little.

   I don't have a single complaint about them. I would recommend them to everyone and in fact, I have been!

This is only a fraction of an article that I found. It may be a little difficult read but it does have great value. I think many women will find this article helpful. I hope you do! The author itha has done a great job at pointing out the parts a woman should focus on when shopping for plus size. Or even just a size over 4. Very good article!

If you belong to a woman who has a big size body, often difficulty in determining the clothing you’ll use for important events. Actually choosing dress for Big women can style with layered clothing that can make this women looks beauty.



As long as they know the trick, with the shortfall, and highlight the advantages of body shapes. Try to use layered clothing, but not more than three layers. If you want to look taller, better use of vertical rather than horizontal-striped dress that will make your body width impression. Choose clothing that accentuated the basic silhouette with good but not too tight. Select a top that accentuated the waist line, match the belt, jacket or cardigan. Colors selection is also need to note. Select a top layer of dark-colored base, combine with a cardigan or jacket with bright color.



For Big women, clothing materials are also should be given attention. Choose clothing made from finely materials, this is very important because if you use thicker materials will make the body more looks large. To get an impression more slender, choose clothing that intersect V at the neck. Neck that are exposed will show the impression of a long and slender body. If you are wearing blazers or cardigans, let the button of them stay open in order to imposing a vertical line. For accessories, you can wear earrings or necklaces that hung down long. If you want to disguise the stomach, do not use tight clothes and too big.



Then match with simple trousers. Can use skinny jeans, boot-cut or leggings. A good trick to elongate your legs is to wear straight pants that cover your shoes. This will make your legs look longer a few centimeters. read more: http://wparticle.net/clothing-big-women.html

Big IS beautiful too!

As you know, I dedicated a whole month to the bigger & beautiful women. It's taken me a while to get my posts going because I spent most of the month talking, interviewing, and finding out what these women had to say.

My interview with Kathy M. went deeper than I had expected. When I asked Miss Kathy how she felt about her self and her body she said "I could sit here & say that I am proud of who I am no matter how society looks at me but, that wouldn't be true." She told me that she didn't feel beautiful or happy. "I just don't know why bigger always has to mean less pretty." Kathy said. She also told me that most of the bigger women she associates with also are not happy with themselves often.

I asked Kathy what she thinks would make her feel happier & better about herself. I also asked her what she thought would make other women like her feel better about themselves.

She told me that she thinks that her being big means she can't dress stylish. "Big girls just can't do it." It really made me sad to hear that she truly felt this way. We talked about what kind of things Kathy wished she could wear. She said she just wanted to be able to wear things like a "belted tops, leggings and skirts."

I told Kathy that she CAN wear those things and look & feel good. She just has to find the right fit. "I want to shop at places like wet seal & rue 21." She told me. I replied with "Then do it." I told her that she is the only person that matters when it comes to what people think and I also told her that if she took the step to do these things then, maybe she could inspire others like her to do the same and allow themselves to feel happy & better about themselves.

A few days after talking with Kathy, I got a call from her. "I made my first purchase at rue 21!" She screamed. She was so excited. She finally had the courage to wear something that she wanted and she done it for herself. I was so proud of her. She told me that she hasn't yet got the nerve to try a skirt yet but she did go for the belted top & she loved the way it fit!

I hope that Kathy's courage will give other women the courage to do things like this & feel good about themselves too.

Kathy has plans this weekend to have her hair and nails done with a friend. I'm waiting to hear back from her & find out if she followed through with those plans. I really hope she did. After all she does deserve it. Every woman does.

What do you think would make you feel better about yourself? And what advice would you have for Kathy?
