sgc- was yours the stretchy nylon/polyester type? almost like a a leotard, but with more coverage for the thighs and rear?
marena- i just went to VS during my lunch break and saw some corsets that were 50%! they provide coverage for your upper body (which is good!), but the piping thing down the sides seemed uncomfortable to wear for 6+ hours. also, they had those clips on the bottom for stockings? forgive me for being naive, but can you wear it without having to use the clips?
those are the exact ones i got in white.....yes, i think u can take off the clips, and if all else fails, cut them off :) I tried it on and kept it on for a couple of hours, it wasnt too bad actually.. the piping is what holds you in place and smoothes you out........beauty is pain though! so i'm going to bear it as long as my rolls arent coming out lol
