FAQs

What materials is the Lovehoney Secret Silhouette Corset made from?

The main fabric consists of 85% Nylon and 15% Elastane. The mesh is 92% Polyester and 8% Elastane, and the cup lining is 100% Polyester, excluding trim.

Are the sleeves and suspender straps truly removable?

Yes, both the mesh sleeves and the suspender straps are designed to be fully detachable, allowing for versatile styling options.

How do I choose the correct size for this corset?

While the product notes a UK size 10 (worn by a model who is 5'8" with a 34C bust), for optimal fit, it is recommended to measure your waist and bust accurately and consult any specific size guide provided by the brand. Corsets are designed for a snug fit, so precise measurements are important.

How should I care for my corset to ensure its longevity?

Due to its steel boning and delicate materials, it is crucial to hand wash the corset in cool water with a mild detergent and air dry it flat or hanging. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, bleach, or iron it.

Does this corset come with any matching underwear?

No, the Lovehoney Secret Silhouette Corset does not include nipple pasties or a thong. These items are typically sold separately.

What type of boning is used in this corset?

This corset features a combination of spiral steel bones at the sides for flexibility and shaping, and flat steel bones at the front for structural support and cleavage enhancement.

Can this corset be worn as outerwear?

Yes, its design, including the elegant black striped fabric, gold hardware, and detachable mesh sleeves, makes it suitable for wearing as outerwear with jeans, skirts, or other clothing for a stylish 'bar-to-bedroom' look.

Troubleshooting

Corset feels too tight or uncomfortable after lacing.

Gradually loosen the back lacing until you achieve a comfortable fit. Corsets should be snug but not cause pain or restrict breathing. If discomfort persists, double-check your sizing against the brand's size chart if available, or consider a different size.

Difficulty closing the front fastening zip.

Ensure the back lacing is completely loosened before attempting to close the front zip. If the corset is too tight when trying to zip, it puts undue strain on the zipper. Once the zip is closed, then adjust the back lacing.

Detachable sleeves or suspender straps frequently come undone.

Ensure the clasps are fully closed and securely attached to the corresponding loops or rings on the corset. Inspect the clasps and attachment points for any signs of damage or bending that might prevent a secure connection.

Boning feels bent or is poking through the fabric.

This can happen from improper care, such as machine washing or harsh twisting. If possible, gently try to reshape minor bends. If boning is poking out, discontinue use to prevent injury and consider professional repair or replacement. Always follow recommended hand-washing care instructions to prevent this.

Fabric appears creased or wrinkled after storage.

Hang the corset properly when not in use. For minor creases, allow it to air out or use a garment steamer at a distance. Avoid direct heat or ironing on the boned areas. Store flat or hung to maintain its shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Initial Lacing: Before wearing for the first time, you may need to loosen the back cord lacing. If new to corsets, it can be helpful to have assistance with the initial lacing to achieve an even and comfortable fit.
  2. Putting On: Unzip the front fastening zip completely. Wrap the corset around your torso, closing the front zip. Once zipped, gently pull on the back lacing to tighten the corset to your desired comfort and shaping level. Tie the lacing securely.
  3. Attaching Sleeves/Suspenders: The mesh sleeves and suspender straps attach via small clasps or loops. Ensure these are securely fastened to avoid accidental detachment during wear.

Compatibility

This corset is designed for versatility. It can be paired with:

  • Outerwear: Jeans, skirts, tailored trousers, or under a jacket when worn with the detachable sleeves.
  • Intimate Wear: Lace-top stockings (using the removable suspender straps) or other lingerie pieces.

Care

To ensure the longevity and integrity of your corset, especially due to its steel boning and delicate materials, follow these care instructions:

  • Hand Wash Only: Gently hand wash in cool water using a mild detergent.
  • Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing can damage the steel boning and delicate fabric.
  • Do Not Bleach: Bleach can degrade the fabric and alter the color.
  • Air Dry Flat: Lay flat or hang to air dry. Do not wring or twist. Avoid direct sunlight or high heat, which can affect elasticity and shape.
  • Do Not Tumble Dry: High heat from a tumble dryer can damage the materials and boning.
  • Do Not Iron: Ironing is generally not recommended for this type of garment as it can damage the boning and fabric. If absolutely necessary, use a very low heat setting with a pressing cloth on non-boned fabric areas, but proceed with extreme caution.
  • Material Composition: Main fabric: `85% Nylon`, `15% Elastane`. Mesh: `92% Polyester`, `8% Elastane`. Cup lining: `100% Polyester` (excluding trim).
