(review) Timeless Trends Corsets

 If you're thinking of ordering from Timeless Trends Corsets then please read my experience first. I had so much WHAT THE FUCKERY IS GOING ON HERE??!! with my order I can't even 🤦I'll give you a quick run down of the mess and then post email receipts.

--Timeless Trend had a big clearance sale with an additional buy 2 get 1 free offer, so I ordered 6 corsets total

--TT told me 3 corsets were out of stock so I picked 3 replacements (*I looked at every item in my size and saw it was available before requesting it!... But as you will see, the website doesn't synch-up with actual inventory numbers...)

--TT told me 2 out of 3 of those were out of stock, so I picked 2 new replacements

--then TT told me 1 out of 2 of those replacements were out of stock, so I said CANCEL MY ORDER THIS IS RIDICULOUS 😡

--TT offered me "buy 2 get 3 free" so then my order is 5 corsets total instead of 6, and I'd only have to pay for 2. That sounded awesome and I accepted the offer...

--TT then tried to refund me the wrong amount (they wanted to overcharge me, RED FLAG!) and I corrected them, then they refunded me the right amount...

--My order arrived and OF COURSE 1 corset is missing. I contacted TT and they said 'well since it was free anyway we won't be replacing it and here's a coupon for 30% off your next order' [SCAMMY MUCH?? I feel like they did this on purpose so I'd buy more]

The packing slip says they put it in the shipping box- they did not put it in the box! 😡 After all the bullshit I just went thru, Timeless Trends us going to do me dirty like this?! WTF?!

Sidenote: the missing corset was part of my original order that was not out of stock. I ordered 2 of this exact same corset, TT confirmed they had only 2 left and they both were mine. ***I made the order specifically because I needed 2 of this exact corset to dress as twins in Hallowen!! I would have immediately cancelled the order if I knew only 1 was coming. WTF am I going to do with 1?! I needed 2. Twins are 2 people!

I would be less pissed if one of the "replacement" corsets had gone missing. This is bullshit! 😡

Here are the email screenshots, read bottom to top of each page.

Also, just know that Timeless Trends ships from Thailand. The business owners are in Texas but the corsets are shipped from the factory in Thailand.

Let's recap the fuckery of Timeless Trends:

1. Computer system is shit and can't keep synched with inventory.

2. American workers answering my emails can't do math. Might be total sleezeballs...

3. Thailand workers can't pull inventory and ship correctly. (Unless they were ordered to "accidentally forget" that last corset...)

Now here's some product reviews:

#1: This is the longline hourglass underbust corset I ordered 2 of and they only sent me 1. It has white velvet roses on black satin. Ties in the hips. This fits me more like a "slim" silhouette rather than a "hourglass" shape... but whatever. (Look at the next pinstripe corset shape- that one is "slim", see what I'm saying??)

#2: I do NOT recommend Timeless Trends overbust corsets to anyone with a small chest! I have a small chest and I ordered this pinstripe corset (regular length) in my size with the "small" bust-- and it's way too big! Like I have to wear a strapless pushup bra inside the corset to create any cleavage whatsoever. How sad is that?! ☹️ You can see in my bra pic above that I have a chest with cleavage- in the overbust corset it disappears completely. 

((And I just want to sidenote here: I have never had a disappearing-cleavage-issue with Corset Story overbust corsets...))

#3: And here is a pic of my new tweed hourglass short corset (waist cincher). The fabric is much darker than online pics, and you can barely tell it's "tweed" design. At least this corset actually has the "hourglass shape" it claims. This short style is more comfortable to wear sitting down than other corsets.

...My final thoughts? 😂 Whatever!...

I'd rather buy used next time.

I would not pay full price for these.

(review) mesh waist taming corset from Corset-Story.com

I've randomly ordered corsets for waist training and fashion from Corset-Story over the past decade because they always have good sales. (Life hack: waist training corsets are usually heavy, thick and warm in winter! I often wear one under my sweater to not freeze in Colorado haha)

Mesh corsets are very popular right now because you can wear them daily and year-round. They're more breathable, flexible, and lightweight. The only pitfall is that sheer fabric stretches out over time.

I decided to order my first "waist taming" MESH corset because Corset-Story.com had a good sale (buy 1 get 3 free)... But nah, bruh. This corset is all wrong ☹️ I ordered this "hot pink" lace and jewel corset...

..

WHY IS MY CORSET BRIGHT ORANGE??

..

I guess my expectations were too high.

The website says this corset has 10 lightweight "stainless steel bones" (4mm wide each). I suspect it's actually "vinyl" 🤔 because this corset is way too flimsy-I am tempted to cut it open to find out what is really inside (if I do one day I will take pics and update the post)

..

All the orange fabric is sheer polyester (itchy) and the white fabric is cotton. The laces are ribbon. The ad says this corset can reduce your waist up to 4 inches 😂 ok

..

I could almost close the corset, I think I chose the perfect size. But the corset did not suck in my belly pooch 😂 I don't actually have a belly pooch but this corset gave me one?? Ok... I just didn't feel like this corset was squeezing me in or hugging me tight.

 

I like the corset has a zipper. Busks suck sometimes.

I like that this corset has 4 small pockets but they're too small, like 2x2 inch. What can I fit in here?

And a gem was missing off the corset before I even tried it on ☹️ so I expect more to fall off quickly. Sad.

 

The "spiral steel bone" sample included with the corset is total bullshit because the corset is flimsy and flexible as hell! The sample is stiff and hard to bend- this is what I expected but not what I received.

  

Overall I'm glad I didn't pay full price.

 The shipping took a little over a week.
