LAUREN CORSET

The boning gives real structure without digging in, and I wore it for six hours at a dinner without wanting to rip it off. The silk has a subtle sheen that photographs beautifully but doesn't look shiny or cheap in person.

The silk charmeuse has this gorgeous sheen that makes it look way more expensive than it was. I was worried a corset would feel stiff, but the silk is surprisingly soft against my skin. Ended up wearing it under a blazer to a gallery opening and got compliments all night.

I wore this for my anniversary dinner and the boning actually stayed comfortable through a three-course meal, which never happens with corsets. The black silk has a weight to it that feels expensive, not flimsy like the synthetic ones I've tried.
