The Allure Victorian Corset goes to Arisia
So one thing that I did in Boston was attend a convention. Before you get all excited (or maybe you really WILL) get excited, it was a sci-fi/ fantasy convention. Yes…. it’s true.
We only went for one day but there was three (or four) days of sci fi geekery and people walking around in costumes and other cool get ups. I was quite impressed really and it was fun to get dressed up. My outfit was not really anything that I would call ‘sci-fi’ or ‘fantasy’ ish although I suggested I could go dressed as a 50′s housewife, carrying around a pie. That’s pretty ‘fantasy’ for me.
Anyway- we put together an outfit that consisted of a black velvet skirt, long velvet gloves (that were too long) and this corset from Tabu Toys. I also had a cute little pillbox. I looked very much like a saloon girl. However, I did look hot- and I felt hot even if I wasn’t in a full victorian corset or you know, painted like an avatar.
The Allure Victorian Corset is truly a gorgeous piece of lingerie. It holding you in the way a corset should, nice boning but somewhat movable… unless you needed to bend at the waist. That was not going to happen. I was a little too short for the shoulders, so my strap kept coming off my shoulder. Sir said it added a little bit of sex appeal. I don’t know about added sex appeal, but it’s so typical that not matter where I am, I’m the slut with her bra strap hanging off of her shoulder.
It has busks in the front and laces up in the back. It’s just a regular cording, not any pretty ribbon. It could be dressed up with a nicer ribbon or some thin hemp rope. All night I was tempting Sir to just cut the damn thing off of me by the cording in the back. It would be easy to replace!!
Also you can see some fancy thigh high stockings in the picture. Well, you sorta can. This are supposed to stay up on their own, but really- had I been without the skirt, it would have made more sense to use the garters that the corset came with. They just didn’t stay up. Not at all. They never do. Unless there is so much elastic that you are cutting off your circulation… thigh highs just don’t stay up on big girls. It’s just a fact of big girl life. It was ok though- the skirt was long and nobody noticed!!
I did not see this corset on the Tabu Toys website in any other size than XL. It fit me almost perfectly, besides the straps. I’m short, what can I say. There is no underwire, but my cleavage did not suffer one bit. It actually turned out to be perfect and I did get many compliments on it all night long.
Thanks to Tabu Toys for recommending this gorgeous corset for me. It was quote a hit at the Sci Fi Convention!! The geeks have good taste!!
It looks great on you, and is very nice and streamlined.

fantasy or not – you look great. Sometimes the “everyday” makes you look the sexy-ist!
I wish I had known you were going to be at Arisia! I’ve been enjoying reading your blog for many months now but figured you’d never get to this part of the US. Darn. And I’m sure I didn’t see you there; I definitely would have remembered that outfit.
Ah, well… there’s always next year.
