Hours after winning the Family Circle Cup in Charleston, Serena Williams was in Florida to hawk her Serena Williams Signature Statement Collection on a live broadcast on HSN. It was the third anniversary of Serena's deal with the network. To celebrate, Serena offered a special on her corset leggings. (Over 17,000 sold!)
Busted Racquet looked at those and other garments for sale on her HSN.com site.

Description: "Made with a luxurious stretch knit that delivers a flattering fit, this pull-on pant draws attention with its unique and sexy tie-up corset detail."
Busted Racquet's take: If there's one thing that says sexy, it's the words "pull-on pant."
Item: Crochet Pullover Sweater, $49.90

Online review: "THIS IS A GREAT CARDIGAN TO WEAR HERE IN FLORIDA AS THE FABRIC IS WONDERFUL. HOWEVER, WISH I HAD ORDERED A MEDIUM INSTEAD OF A LARGE AS IT IS LARGER THAN I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE HAD IT FIT."
