Corset Sophie - Venus Corset

A new (to me) store, a piece of gear that's incredibly rare IRL.. Lets get to work

Appearance

It looks like it is, incredibly tight and restrictive, pinning your arms away so snugly you almost appear not to have any. Venus corsets aren't well known, nor do they appear often, but damn are they nice.

This one is quite customisable. You can recolour the corset, its boning, its lacing, etc. It also comes with a variety of skirts, ruffs a catsuit, ballet boots and more. It also has two different versions when you buy it, Closed top and open top.

The closed is smooth, tight, shiny latex (or maybe patent leather) all the way from top to bottom, as inescapable as it looks. The Open uses fake breasts instead, which is a little disappointing, though you can also recolour those to match your skin at least. It also has an AO of sorts built in, that occasionally makes you rock back and forth a little as if taking a deep breath, or trying to.

When locked, padlocks appear on the clasps, and around the boots if you use them. Big ornate locks around your ankles.

It comes with a full colour hud,which is frankly terrible, and involves extremely slowly recolouring it by using arrows to alter the value by 1 or 10 at a time. Slowly. Unresponsively.

The extras include a pair of ankle boots, and some very ornate ballet boots as well. It includes two skirts that hobble your legs, pressing them tight together and making you walk differently, though they do not seem to slow you down unless locked. Oddly the ankle boots are rigged mesh, but the ballet are individual boots.

If its not clear already, I'm pretty sure Sophie has a thing for Victorian style dress

Lastly the closed version has a sort of hypnotism hud in it. The open.. lacks it for some reason.

Sadly it has a couple of issues. For some reason the closed top one has fake thighs if you use the short skirt, though the topless one doesn't. The closed one has no way to hide them, so they may clash with a lot of avis, and those that like to wear long stockings or a catsuit underneath will see issues. Furthermore the open top one includes a pair of mesh ballet boots, which the closed doesn't have.

You also can't recolour the clasps holding the front closed, nor the rings on the back that hold the laces in place, at least from what I could see

All in all it looks good, but the fake body parts are unfortunate.

Function

In the box are two corset types. Trained and training. Trained instantly unlocks everything, no need to wait to get it tighter. With training, you need to be patient and tighten the corset over time. Too tight and you may faint.

The menu is fairly simple. Top left is Tighten, next to it is loosen. Top right lets you turn the AO off. Then you have the constraints menu. In here you can adjust what people can do to you, set up a timelock.. And expose it. If you expose it, say bye to this menu, you're stuck unless someone disables the expose for you. Truly evil. Oh, and did I mention that your owner can punish you by exposing it as well?

In the next menu (setup), you can do a few things. Add an owner for example. When an owner is added, the sub can lock herself.. but not unlock, so be careful. You can also get the help NC, change the language, adjust if it sends messages to chat or not, etc.. and RAZ. Which resets the restraint.. including training. Very useful to torment a poor sub who just finished her training.

Lastly there is Skirt Short and Skirt mid. the Short option on the closed corset rezzes those fake thighs mentioned before, while the mid thankfully hides them. Next to these is EXIT, to close the menu and such.

My thoughts

I love the concept of a Venus corset, so this one is really appealing to me. The odd appearances quirks confuse me though. The fake thighs especially, not being able to recolour the clasps or lacing rings is odd, the fake breasts I can live with, but would love the option to hide and put my own assets on display. Oh well. All in all its looks pretty good, functions well, and is the perfect way to contain a kidnapped sub you want to train.

There's a few typos here and there in the English text, but Sophie is French, so perfect English is not expected.

The issues with items in both boxes being different, the fake thighs, etc, I think are simple oversights, and may even be fixed by the time I post this.

So I stress this, these issues are likely simple mistakes, not deliberate. Keep an eye out for updates or the like that fixes some of them.

All images show only gear from the box, including the catsuit leggings, skirts, boots, etc, bar for my collar.

I sadly cannot recommend this restraint.
