Would our photoshoot be filled with fierce looks, or would we need a literal fainting couch? There was only one way to find out. “I wasn’t sold on this one. I was too afraid that the belt wouldn’t fit, so I sized up. I definitely didn’t need to,” she said. It was so big that she simply slid this wide elastic corset belt ($24, ASOS) on over her hips. Lace-front corset ($10.90, Forever 21) ASOS Curve extra wide lace up corset belt ($24, ASOS). Jess is wearing size 24/26. Plus-size cropped corset ($15.90, Forever 21). Jess is wearing a 3X. We also learned that buying a nice corset doesn’t mean dropping your whole paycheck; we got a lot of cute corsets for under $40, and they were of decent quality. So if you want to try this trend without blowing all your cash on the same belt Kim Kardashian wore, you definitely can. Finally, we learned that EVERY body can wear the corset trend. There’s no such thing as the wrong size or shape; if you like this style, you can wear it. Just make sure you have a fainting couch close at hand.
