Review: Voluptia, Coerce Mesh Corset and Flaunt Lingerie


Ever have an article of clothing that you could not live without?  Like your favorite jeans but, not jeans?  Yesterday I had a great treat from a great lady.  Lady V (Ladyvanir Dragovar) of Voluptia - House of Glamour contacted me saying that she had seen my blog.  After talking, she handed me a few items and asked me to take a look at them.  Once I was able to round up the Redneck Fashionista team, we finally had a looksie at what we all were given.  Lets just say my poor male photographer had a very hard time keeping his attention on his photos.  Thankfully, a few girly strengths later, he was back on track and editing. 

The first item I pulled out could have, for all intents and purposes, been the last item anyone in SL could have given me because, wow, oh my gaud, it is PHENOMENAL!!!  Everyone at the team here had a fashiongasm!  The Coerce Mesh Corset is Lady V's newest item at her store and is part of a line of mesh items available at her store.  This is great mesh done supurb!  Ladies, if you need an oufit to get any sort of way with your significant other, then you NEED this corset.  The outfit itself features a mesh corset that comes in seven different sizes, from XXS to XXL, a matching merkin (the little panty thing on the bottom - we had to look it up too), and flexi-prim ruffle sleeves.  The outfit comes in a selection of five different colors:  black (mostly shown), jade, berry, red, and purple.  The composite photo of the corset below shows the other colors. 

We all love this outfit!!!!!  It is absolutely gorgeous.  It is an old-era style brought into modern times, including using the detailed touch of making and including the matching merkin (fyi - a merkin is a pubic wig dating back from 1617 and is traditionally held in place with gum paste or other makeup glues used for holding wigs in place.  they're still used in Hollywood and are still made to this day). Burlesque is always a glamorous and timeless style, and this ensemble holds true.  It is appealing to the eye, feminine, and powerful; it allows you to bring out the romantic and naughty side.  This look will always be in fashion, especially as this ensemble is so well crafted.  It's just timeless. 

The only thing we found is that you really do need to use the included alpha layer.  Like all corsets, this one will bring in your waist a bit, and works against some of the natural measurements induced by Linden Labs.


Overall, for the Coerce corset, I'd love to see more of this style, or even addons such as a skirts, stockings, shoes, gloves, and hats.  Lady V may have completely defined a clothing line with this one outfit, and I'd really like to see what else can be done to expand that line.  I do have to apologize though -we were so stricken and in love with the corset that we just wanted to keep looking at it.  Plus, my photographer got a new toy.  Those factors combined together led to a rather long photoshoot and not as much time paid attention to the other item we were given...

Flaunt Lingerie is another ensemble given to me by Lady V.  Flaught features a  1950's style lingerie set in 4 colors (blue, violet, peach, pink) that includes a bra, panties, stockings, garter, and frills for the panties and bra.  Flaunt has a cute polka dot style texture to it that adds a classic yet girly touch to this sexy lingerie.  Plus, a little bit of the girls peeking out just make you want to flaunt it all in front of your significant other.  This is another timeless design.  The only thing I noticed is that you might need to adjust the frills a bit depending on your avatar size.


Overall: 10/10

Pros:  Great recreations of timeless designs, great design, great attention paid to details

Cons:  None
