Ah corsets! One of our favorite wardrobe items. Corsets do it all! They are sexy! They are vintage or modern. They can go it alone & also work well with other wardrobe pieces. Corsets can be worn at home or out to play! What other item in your wardrobe can do all of that?The world of corsets is a vast one indeed! Overbust, underbust, sweetheart, Victorian, bridal, halter, training, tight~lacing, liners, sizing and more!
Whew! What's a Corset Virgin to do? While there are countless combinations of fabrics, styles and "extras" ~ it's fairly easy to select and purchase a corset that you will like and enjoy wearing.
Over and Under are probably the two most widely used corset categorizes. Your corset either goes "over" or "under" your breasts. Either style can be worn as outerwear or as underwear. Overbust corsets are often worn as outerwear, sans a chemise or blouse. Simply remove the garters and pair your corset with your favorite slacks or skirt and you have a beautiful "top" that will turn heads! Underbust corsets are the garment you mostly see in vintage photos ~ think a pirate girl, with the poets shirt "gathered" at the waist ~ the garment that accents her waist is usually a underbust corset. Of course, at home with your partner, an underbust corset without a shirt is va va voom!!
"Off the rack" corsets are a great way to wet your toes into the corset culture; or simply enjoy the look, save the expense. Custom corsets are an investment, costs usually begin around the two hundred dollar range for a very basic fabric. Custom corsets must be dry-cleaned and you should wear a corset liner or some type of undergarment every time you wear it. If you are interested in tight lacing, waist training or a 'one of a kind' corset, please consult an experienced corsetiere for a personal measurement and custom fit corset.
We currently have nine off the rack corsets in many different colors and styles. We have corsets ranging in size from 32 to 52 ~ yes fifty two. Many of our corsets come with matching g-strings, fashioned of the same fabric as the corsets themselves. Some come with garter loops, but not the actual garters, no worries ~ we have affordable garter straps that you may purchase, in ten different colors! Notice in the "back" view photos, there is visible skin at the lacing, this is pretty standard and sexy too, with off the rack corsets. Custom made corsets have the option of a built in "modesty panel" added to them, that hide your skin. Do NOT try to close this space by tightening an off the rack corset. The boning used in these corsets allows for hand washing, something you can NOT do with a custom corset with steel "bones". While this line is not designed for tight lacing, which actually reduces your waist size, our test models were pleased with the amount of support this line offered.
Our overall review of this line of corsets ~ they look BEAUTIFUL, the sizes run true, they are a GREAT addition to any wardrobe, nice quality and very fair, affordable pricing!
HAPPY SHOPPING!
