VIEW A: Merry Widow corset features a semi-sheer lace panel in the center front. The side and middle panels, made from both stretch and non stretch fabrics, offer both comfort and a figure-hugging fit. The adjustable waist tab enhances the figure-hugging fit by cinching in the waist even more.

The supportive 3-part bra cup accommodates a wide range of sizes. Decorative stitching and foam on the lower cups adds unique detail.

Adjustable shoulder straps and boning along the bodice provide added support, while the hook and eye closure down the back provides an easy way to put the corset on and off.

VIEW B: The matching thong is made with coordinating fabrics. Its simple design complements the corset top without distracting from its details. Lace insert on the front, fold over elastic on the leg opening, and wide elastic on the waistline.
