Okay, so I finally got my hands on this Popilush leather corset top and... wow, what a rollercoaster! Let me break it down for you.
First off - sizing is WILD. I usually wear L/XL in their bodysuits but had to size down to Medium for this one. The faux leather has zero stretch, so definitely check those measurements twice. At 5'4" with a long torso, I still had to use the tightest crotch setting.
The waist-cinching is LEGIT though. Like instant hourglass illusion. The built-in shaping mesh actually works (shocking for shapewear!) and the wide straps don't dig in. Bonus: the side zipper makes bathroom trips way less dramatic.
BUT... the cups? Girl. My 34DDs got absolutely FLATTENED. It's like they forgot some of us actually want cleavage? Also heads up - if you're under 5'3" or have a short torso, prepare for awkward crotch bunching.
Final verdict? Stunning piece that makes you feel like a sexy villainess... if your body type happens to match their very specific mold. Worth trying during a sale, but maybe keep those tags on just in case.
