Okay, so I understand that Tripp is not the most lolita clothing company (though it does seem to try sometimes), but I figured it could be incorporated into a nice erololi look or something; it's not so goth it couldn't be lolified. Onward to the photos!


Front


Back

It's a Tripp size XL, which is generally juniors sizing. Closed and unstretched, it measures 17" across AT THE WAIST, and 18.5" across when stretched. From the top of the corset to the bottom of the (cotton!) lace, at the side (you know, from the pit down, which is the problem area for me), it's 15" long, and from the top to the bottom in the back, it's 13.5" long. My measurements are 42-37-44, and it fits very comfortably (except for the length, geh, I can hardly even put my arms down...).

The problem I have with this corset is not the quality, or the design, or the sizing in terms of waist, bust or hips; it's simply too long for me. I stand about 5'4", so I would suggest this for a tall girl. The straps have three buttons for adjustments, and it still is too long even when I get it down to the smallest button... :[

I'd like to see it go for $45 shipped. US only, concealed cash or MO only. I am a paypal-less broke high school loli, ahaha... *ahem*

I suggest you remove "XL" from your cut, I know it is labelled as that, but many people don't consider a 36" bust to be plus sized nor XL. (This is all just so you will get more attention in sales.) I know I've overlooked a bunch of auctions and sales because I just went with the size they were listed as, when they would have fit.

I think you would get more people noticing your auction.

I apologize, I thought it said the bust instead of waist.

AHH! I have that corset! However, I didn't get mine from HT. When I found out that HT was selling it, I nearly died.

But I will say this much, the corset is of VERY GOOD QUALITY, and it is really pretty comfortable.

Yeah, so did I. My friend dragged me into HT and I just yelled a string of obscenities.
