I purchased this waspie with a half off coupon so, $45 pre-tax. For the price, I really was not expecting much. I was SO completely blown away by this corset’s quality at any price. It was unbelievable at the price I paid. I kept waiting for something to go wrong or for it to be uncomfortable as it’s not bespoke. However, I’ve had it for 8+ months now with no wear issues and it is so comfortable I’ve slept in it several times. If you’re new to corsets and/or budget constrained, this is the corset for you!!! It is everything you could want in a first corset.
So happy to see a mystic city review! But a little bummed about the measurements snafu. I should measure mine and see if there are discrepancies. I do love mine all the same :)
I randomly thought about corsets and your channel and I'm pleasantly surprised to see you back. I'm set on getting a Petite Josephine Mesh from Isabella Corsetry as my first one, but I hear she's very backed up with the current situation. I'm planning on ordering next year at this point.
rdpcl Isabella Corsetry has beautiful corsets but has always had a long turnaround time (it took 6 weeks for me to receive my corset from the immediate line which was supposed to be in stock and shipped right away, and that was back in 2010). It was worth the wait, but yeah there’s _always_ been a wait 😆
It looks like the mesh corset is out of stock at the moment, but by the style number I have already reviewed that corset pattern in the past! ruclips.net/video/7ibnDkHmce0/видео.html
I ordered a MCC-20 in satin, I hope the measurements will be right. This model looks so good on you, it's a pity the measurements weren't right 🥺 It's also true for Etsy and their website, I bought mine on their website while on Etsy they weren't even carrying the model I bought, plus there was a sale on it. So, definitely check both places ! ☝🏾
My MCC-20 was true to size. Mine is in spot broche and corsetry mesh though (not the sports mesh, its a finer weave more heavy duty material) so I can't comment exactly on the satin, but I hope it turns out alright for you!
Oh and forgot to say that all three MCC corsets I have were true to size. I have an old discontinued MCC-36, an MCC-35 and the MCC-20 I mentioned before.
@@Malexah_mor Very good one, to be honest, because it has my exact underbust and upper hip measurements when fully closed and the perfect torso length for me (I have a short torso) so it's one of, if not, the most comfortable corset I own ❤️
I have a different model of mesh corset from MCC and the busk is very stiff. I found that there was an extra bone on top of the busk which I was able to remove and resew without it looking wonky. I don’t know if that’s true for this model but if true it might allow people to make it more comfortable.
Interesting. My mystic city corsets almost always stretch at the waist but I've never thought to check the rib and hip springs. I did recently receive one with a faulty pin,however.
B. T. O'Bannon wow, is it the mesh corsets that stretch or the non-mesh ones as well? Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s a shame about the busk pin, were you offered a replacement?
@@LucysCorsetry yes, my mesh mcc38w in particular. She warns of it on her website ,however. I didn't get a replacement for the 254l with the faulty pin, she's usually pretty hard to reach!
I have this corset, I think it’s too small on me. I have uploaded a video here on RUclips wearing this corset. MCC are very sturdy and it takes way longer to season them than my orchard corsets.
I am new to corsets, I have only ever worn them for fun/costumes but never had a nice/real one! This shape and style particularly interests me...would you say that this corset is beginner friendly?
It is a waspie, not very curvy 6 inch rib spring 8 inch hip spring and it's mech, it should be comfortable and if is close to your measurements I don't see why it shouldn't be beginner friendly. I tend to go for all cotton because it doesn't stretch as much with time and I feel it can stand waist training better, about 8 hour or more per day, but thou I don't own mesh corsets its supposed to be more comfortable and easier to hide under clothes Edit:she did say rib spring was 5 in hip spring 7 in. I don't know if it's just for the mesh or for other fabrics too
Alex M. it is beginner friendly, but the best corset for you will be the one that fits your measurements best! I have narrow hips so this one works for me - someone else may find it a bit tight on their hip bones, for instance - I'd be happy to look at your measurements and let you know what will fit you. lucycorsetry.com/measurements/
From experience, I think it’s very sturdy/firm for a beginner. I have worn corsets and fajas since I was little on and off. And the first time I tried this corset to me it’s very rigid and not so curvy … Of course it’s amazing quality!!! Even though orchard corset has a bad reputation due to their bad quality. To me, their corsets are more for beginners. But it sucks that their corsets don’t last long. It’s good to buy from different brands. I like doing that to compare.
What happened to the last video you posted? It was about a new Timeless Trends hourglass overbust corset. I got a notification, but the video disappeared.
Ash Heaven there was a scheduling mistake. I pushed the review of this mesh corset forward because it only makes sense to review mesh in the summer - the hourglass overbust will go live next week
Do you think a this waspie would be good for a short waist? I hope the wedding plans go well and please remember that is it YOUR wedding and you need to have fun at it too.
Yes it would be a reasonably good length for someone who is short waisted - just make sure the circumferential measurements work for you beforehand. :) Thank you for your well wishes!
I've been a subscriber for years, and I am never disappointed with your in-depth reviews. I am curious about one of the corsets in your amazon list that is included in your description box. I can't seem to find a review on your channel for a corset that fits the name of the corset on amazon, and I was hoping to learn more about it. I'm in a very hot area and I am looking for something inexpensive and breathable to finally get started on my waist training journey.
What size is your waist? My waist is 26” and Im thinking to order 24”. I don’t wanna look like those women with super tight corsets (it looks scary) but I do want it to make it look smaller.
I bought the non-mesh one a couple of years ago, and a year ago I noticed it had 2'' and 4'' springs!! No wonder I couldn't close it! In 18'' it's supposed to fit me perfectly. The customer service was so bad that it put me off buying from them again. But if anyone has a black non-mesh one in 18'' that they want to part with, I'd be happy to buy it! Or if there's any other OTR with about the same springs (not smaller) and either the same length or shorter, let me know!
😯 whoa, I’m sorry to hear that! I wonder if it’s only this style specifically that has so many problems with the springs or if there are others. I looked on Corset Database to see which other styles might have a 6” rib spring as 8” hip spring, and there are a few but not many cinchers. The Andrea waspie by Vanyanis is gorgeous but might be out of budget. corsetdatabase.com/explore/?corsets=1&pa_rib-spring=6,6-5&pa_high-hip-spring=7,8&pa_discontinued=available&pa_bust=under&pa_length=3-5,5-5,6,6-5,7,7-5,8,8-5,9
@@LucysCorsetry Seems like it's just this one, I've basically never heard anything not positive about the corsets (customer service the opposite). It's so strange cause mine is so consistent as well. Exactly 2" rib spring and exactly 4" hip spring. Which is.. Less than your typical fashion corset would have. Thanks for looking! There's sadly little out there OTR for me 😅
The process of waist training and corseting is pretty much the same! The most important part is finding a corset that fits your measurements and proportions well. If you'd like any help, feel free to use the free tools at Corset Database, or send me your measurements and I'll help :) lucycorsetry.com/measurements/
ahah sorry! I'm trying out a new microphone and I no longer have to shout across the room, but I haven't quite figured out the best combination of volume / projection. There are other things like my mild disappointment in the rib and hip springs of this corset, and the stupid heat wave turning my room into a boiler, but apart from that, all is well.
Hi Lucy! That corset definitely compliments your shape well. Shame about the springs. I have to 2 MCC corsets. One mesh, which measure an inch larger in the under bust (which is ok for the upper fluff). My other is a brocade and it measured true to the site. Maybe it's a mesh thing, idk🤔. I really love them though, I'm a pretty curvy person and it is hard to find something that actually reduces the waist. I was happy to watch this review. ... I thought I saw something pop up for a hourglass over bust...but when I clicked it, it said private video....hope to see it soon! Take care girl, hugs🤗🤗.
Rebecca Dover sorry about that! The hourglass overbust was originally going to be published today, but I pushed it back so that I can review the mesh corsets while it’s still summertime 😄 that one will go live next week!

For the price and overall quality, it seems like a decent deal.
I have a postpartum girdle with bones. It is nice 👌
I have not worn this brand before
I like this mesh waspie.
I'm debating on this or the romantic curve style from orchard corset
MCC is way better quality than orchard corsets. From my experience :)
Please review the restyle mesh corset they generally have a larger rib spring . From you description this would cut into me . I am glad you are back
