maybe i'm wrong, but the corset looks like it's made of a material that is somewhat reflective. not necessarilly satin or silk (which is fairly reflective, even in black) but something in that fabric is reflective. so i'm just saying that any material that's black AND reflective is going to show up okay as opposed to cotton or wool and some other fabrics that aren't going to reflect light much at all. also, are you using the shadow/highlight tool? i've found that there's often way more detail in the shadows then there seems to be at first glance once i start messing around with the S&H tool, which you probly want to do before adjusting levels..
