I have been wanting a corset forever...I have also been wanting to try semi-soft bras for quite a while.

This model was on sale so I decided to take a chance and order it. I am so glad that I did!!

To begin, this is built like a corset that has been attached to a semi-soft bra - What I mean by that, is that all the structure of a bra is built inside, including a band/cradle and then the components of a corset are attached to it.

The band, fastened on the tighter set of hooks fits just like all of my KL 65 bands. So, I would be inclined ... to say that it is tight for a 70.

As for the fit of the bra part - right out of the box, the wires were narrow and the cups were deep and projected. The wires were about 1cm wider than I like and I was about 1/2 finger depth away from tacking - no small miracle. So, I bent my wires in a bit (I do this all the time with my KLs) and now I have a hard tack at the top 3/4 of the gore. The very bottom(1/2 cm) of the gore does not tack, but in a corset, I don't expect such a perfect fit. There is too much going on with adding a body piece.

The bottom 2/3 of the cup is lined with thin corsetry foam - to me, this is the perfect middle ground between a soft bra and a padded bra. (Hurray!! I'l be buying more KL semi-softs in the very near future!!) It is covered with cotton on the inside and pretty printed matte satin knitwear on the front side.

The top 1/3 of the cup is the gorgeous embroidered mesh that I have come to expect from KL - on this model it is 2-toned - black with smokey lavender trim to match the printed knitwear. Stunning. I get a clean, smooth line at the top of the cup and nice rounded shape from it too https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

Straps have embroidery on the top/front 1/3, so technically they're not fully adjustable, but I have always been able to pull the adjuster up over the embroidery. Despite being someone who likes her straps short and tight, on my KL bras, I don't need to do this...but I have confirmed that it can be done.

The gore has a small black chiffon bow with a clear crystal charm.

The front body of the corset is shirred black mesh on the sides coming into a center panel of printed knitwear. This has a very slimming, hour-glass figure-creating effect. The bottom is trimmed with the same embroidered mesh as the top 1/3 of the bra.

The back has a full length 2 column hook and eye closure. The sides are matte black knitwear(nice strong powerful stretch) and the center panel, where the hooks are, is the printed knitwear.

Garters/Stocking attachments are adjustable and removable.

The matching Brazil panties (in Poland, they call these stringo-szorty) are gorgeous, with matching embroideries and knitwear, in perfect size and cut as all KL panties are!!
