"I just wanted to let you know what a great experience I had shopping with Orchard Corset... Your review form only allows for a very short review, so I thought i'd send you the uncut one. Feel free to use any part of it with my full permission.

I purchased the brown leather underbust corset and am thrilled... This corset is made of quality leather... the sheep hide is nearly glove-soft, yet substantial. It is a darker, more neutral brown than I was expecting, not as reddish as it looks in some of the photos, but still very nice. I totally got it for the steampunk flair, and it absolutely rocks that look to great effect. It is surprisingly comfortable, a bit like a nice firm hug from a close friend. In the looks department, I got rave reviews when I popped around town in it: one person told me I should wear it all the time, another told me the curve it created from my waist to my hip should be on an album cover... How could a girl not love that kind of response? There's no question this garment is an incredible value for the price.

I had to order by phone as the shopping cart wouldn't play nicely with my computer, and the sales associate was very polite, efficient and helpful. My order shipped the same day and arrived very quickly. To my delight, it was also nicely gift-wrapped in pretty tissue, making me feel very special when I opened it--not a discount-shopping experience at all, yet with a fabulous discount price!"

"I recently bought the "Authentic Tight Lacing Premium White Leather Underbust Corset" from your website and I wanted to let you know that I'm incredibly impressed and pleased with my purchase! Not only was the corset soft and comfortable, it's durable and strong. I was amazed at how tight I could lace it. Even though I ordered the corset 6" smaller than my natural waist I was easily able to tighten the corset without breaking anything and without any help.

The instructions that came with the corset were easy to understand and very helpful, especially since I haven't owned what I would consider to be a "real" corset before. I've bought cheap corsets from other websites and they always seemed to break the first time I tightened them! I was always so disappointed to see that what I considered to be a "real" corset would run for nearly $400 on other websites. So when I saw your corsets I was shocked at the price and of course a little hesitant.

But I must say that I couldn't be happier with my order and I will most definitely be ordering from Orchard Corsts in the future! I've told all of my friends about your site and I've happily worn my corset almost every day since I bought it! Thank you so much for these beautifully made and reasonable priced corsets!!!"

"I decided to keep the Vedette 118 Power Body Shaper. As luck would have it, I wrenched my back a few days ago. On Sunday there was an event that I had been looking forward to attending, but with all that back pain, I figured I would need to stay put in my recliner. Then I remembered the compression suit, which I had packed up for return to Orchard. I unpacked the garment, got into as much of it as I was able, and then asked my husband to help me with the rest. Now he is a scientist, he understands the laws of physics, and he suggested that the process would be easier if I were lying down. That way, my post-menopausal tummy would lie flatter. Voila, he was right! He very patiently fastened all the hook closures, and then zipped up the suit. Believe me, the whole scene was very funny, my husband stuffing his wife into a compression suit. When I stood up, I could not believe that my back pain was gone. And as an added bonus, I was able to slip on a skirt that didn't fit me last week. Off we went to our event. My husband kept asking me if I was comfortable in the compression suit. he couldn't imagine that it would be comfortable. Actually, I felt terrific in that suit. And I looked great, too. The suit was a godsend, right up there with my wonderful husband."( Cassandra, IL. )

"I have actually purchased several of Vedette 150 Powerful Strapped Latex Waist Cincher. Initially starting with size 44 and currently in size 38. I have been dieting quite a bit and have been successful in loosing some weight. However, When this happens one suddenly ends up with lots of loose flabby skin that just hangs around. I was loosing weight and I wanted to look good. I wanted to wear tighter shirts. But I couldn't because I still had a roll, even though it was a roll of loose skin, it was still a very unattractive roll. With the Powerful Waist Cincher, I was able to manage that roll, hide the loose roll of skin and wear the tighter waist defining shirts that I wanted to without being embarrassed.

I really am in love with my waist cincer. It has allowed me to feel sexy for once in my life. If someone dances with me and puts their arm around my waist, I don't have to turn red because I am worried they are grabbing or feeling my flabby skin. I can feel proud to be curvy - cuz let me tell you, I still have curves. And curves in the right places because I have the Powerful Waist Cincher. I wish someone told me these things existed. But truthfully, who is going to go up to the fat girl and says "hey, ever try a girdle?" It would have probably crushed me. I would have been embarrassed and got depressed. But in all honesty, what a solution to my issue!!!! I live in a small village town in Wisconsin, Its not like L.A. where I can just make an appointment to get fat sucked from my tummy and pumped into my breasts. I barely have enough money to puchase the Powerful Waist Cincher. But once I had it and realized what an impact it had, I couldn't be without it. I have at leasted purchased four. Starting in size 44, 42, 40, and now 38. I feel this is an accomplishment. But I guess I really appreciate someone providing these products. They have truly helped change my life. I am so much more confident and bold. This Powerful Waist Cincher is my favorite style too. It gives me support both in the front and in the back. I like the straps that go over the shoulder because it doesn't buckle. All I need to do next, it get it in different colors :) " (Penny, WI)
