In Heaven with SFD

I am forever lusting after SL clothing in a RL context: some of our designers are amazingly talented, and I would do nigh on anything to have their goods in my packed to bursting wardrobe (yes, I do need another pair of boots and three more catsuits, they’re entirely necessary to my existence).SFD has teamed up with RL designer Elle of ‘Heavenly Corsets’, and has replicated some of her very fine designs in SL. ‘Petite Coquine’ is a newer release, the corset based on Elle’s design with the rest of the outfit being an original creation from Swaffette Firefly who runs the SFD label.
The bra top comes in a transparent and opaque version (opaque shown), and is a simple design to compliment rather than detract from the corset. The cups are full with some plunge to the front, with frilled trim which is picked up again in the stockings and puff skirt.
The underbust corset – also available in pink - has an almost translucent sheen to it, material crinkled between the boning for a realistic worn effect. Steel grips pin the front, and to the back you’ll find neat lacing running through rows of eyelets, with a prim tie to finish. This works well on the body to give a cinched effect at the waist, and will accentuate an hourglass shape beautifully if you undergo a little slider surgery.
To give you the most from this lingerie set, Swaffette has helpfully included panties, garter belt, puffed skirt and stockings, to give a complete set which is sure to set your intended’s heart a-flutter.
The skirt I adore: it’s a simple design, but the jaunty angle and minimal coverage absolutely hit the spot for me. I love the way the mesh ruffles at the top, fighting with the base of the corset – it’s not ballet, but I get the same girlie feel as I would from a tutu, and it just gels perfectly with this style. The panels are scalloped with jagged lace, which accents and looks especially nice against a contrasting skin.
The panties are more or less completely see-through, although the various coverings will protect your modesty for as long as they stay on. Over layering, the garter belt is simple, defined by a lace top with thick strapped suspenders that attach well to the thigh-high stockings. Bold back seams that run to the foot give these an added zing from the rear.
The shoes are a new release from Fallingwater Cellardoor of Shiny Things. I’m saving the highlights on these for another review, but suffice to say they do go very well with this set, and as a classic style you really ought to add a pair or two to your shoe cupboard.
SFD features other beautiful corsets as well as a whole range of original clothing designs. Make sure you pay a visit this weekend so you can drop appropriate hints for your partner’s reference.
