“I wanted to make pieces to last years. Beyond trends, beyond chain stores. I wanted to create something all its own, something just for us, made with love and consideration. Made ethically in the USA as a small company with no corporate input. Uncompromising, unapologetic, humane, and timeless. Go-to pieces designed to last.”- Beth Ditto


This was the first piece released from the Beth Ditto Collection and what a way to start! This is the iconic Jean Paul Gaultier Corset. It is printed onto an oversized black tshirt which can be dressed up or down. The print is front and back and there is a ribbon laced through eyelets on the back for extra detail. Wearing this outfit makes me look and feel daaamn fiiine! Double chins, vbo, lumpy legs and all!

Bringing high end designer looks to plus size is fantastic and sooo needed. Not everyone can afford it but those that can should have access to it.

I have kept it sexy with the cute Heart Choker from Vixen Curves and Big Tights All Woman Lace Hold Ups which have that jelly stuff which stops them sliding down. These are size 28-32 are fit great!

As the shirt is oversized it is long enough I can wear it as a dress but I am only 5'3'' but I would wear this with leggings or a skirt also.

An old fascinator and my Wedding shoes from Hush Puppies complete this fabulous look!

When CorsetsUK contacted me about doing a review I was dubious to say the least! Having large breasts and going through the increasing difficult task of trying to find bras to fit my 44H melons, I know strap-less bras are a no go for me. I need wide straps and at least 2 hooks at the back to fit comfortably.


I have never tried a corset before so looked at the huge range available for on their website before making the difficult choice as they are all so beautiful. Still with doubts about fit I placed an order for their largest Steel Boned Corset a size 48". To my huge surprise it was far too big for my bust! Seriously it was massive! I requested to size down a couple sizes to a 44" as the back has a large lace panel that can be tightened or widened by up to 7 inches.


The smaller size arrived and I put it on instantly and it fit! I have to say you do need a friend to help you into one of these as the laces are quite hard to do yourself and get tight enough. I had been ill for a week so didn't take these photos until last night and realized just how much my bump has grown when I had to loosen the laces quite a bit just to get it on. It will be kept until after the baby is born then I can break it out and tighten it up good and proper for a great hourglass shape!

 I cannot recommend these enough! If you have never tried a corset and are thinking about one then DO IT! CorsetsUK have a great range of burlesque styles and also bride suitable styles. Take a look and see what takes your fancy. They also have a great offer on just now where you buy 1 and get 1 free! Why not go in with a girlfriends and get yourselves a little discount. My only advise is read the size chart and size down! I am really impressed with the quality of the Corset and my boyfriend likes it too *wink wink*


As you can see there is still plenty room for me to tighten up the laces once the bump is gone. I felt totally safe and supported at the bust. No worry of falling out and as the bones are Steel there is no excess bending like plastic bones on bras. Nothing jabbing into me and felt a million bucks in it. Every lady should own one of these even if its just for bedroom antics!
