This entry is a summary of the review for the “Jenna” overbust corset in blue satin, made by Glamorous Corset. If you would like more complete information and side notes about the corset, you can watch the video on YouTube here:
| Fit, length | Center front is just short of 15 inches long, the princess seam is 15.5 inches (9 inches above the waist, 6.5 inches below the waist), the side seam is 14 inches and the center back is 12.75 inches long. Bust spring is 7″, hip spring is 9″. The silhouette is gentle (modern slim). |
| Material | The fashion fabric is blue satin, and the lining is black cotton twill. |
| Construction | 5-panel pattern (10 panels total). Panels 1-2 give space for the bust, and panels 2-3-4 make the curve over the hip. Constructed using the welt-seam method. |
| Waist tape | One-inch-wide waist tape, secured “invisibly” between the layers of fabric. Full width (extends from center front panel to center back). |
| Binding | Matching strips of blue satin, machine stitched on both outside and inside. Stitched in the ditch on the outside, and topstitch inside. There are also 6 garter tabs (3 on each side). |
| Modesty panel | 6 inches wide, unstiffened, made from satin on the outside, and black cotton twill on the inside. Attached to one side of the corset with a line of stitching (easily removed if desired). In the front, there is a ¼ inch wide modesty placket, finished in blue satin. |
| Busk | 14” long, with 6 loops and pins, the bottom two are a bit closer together. Stainless steel busk which is very slightly wider and slightly stiffer than standard. |
| Boning | 20 bones total in this corset, 10 on each side. Double boned on the seams with ¼ inch wide spirals. The bones sandwiching the grommets are flat steel (probably stainless steel). |
| Grommets | There are 28, two-part size #00 grommets (14 on each side). They have a small / medium flange and are spaced equidistantly, and finished in silver. There are a few splits on the underside of the grommets, and due to the choice in laces, they don’t catch much. |
| Laces | Black, ¼” wide flat nylon “workhorse” shoelace. They are a bit springy, but they hold bows and knots well and they are long enough. |
| Price | Available in sizes 18″ up to 30″ closed waist (in blue). For black and white satin, size range is 18″ – 40″ For sizes 18-30″ the price is $79 USD, and sizes 32″ – 40″ are $84 USD. Available on the Glamorous Corset website here. |
