How to order a made-to-measure corset:

1. Choose fabric and options ⇗
2. Checkout and pay
3. Collect the measurements and photos
4. Wait for your corset to be made
5. Get it shipped to you!

For more samples of this style see the bottom of the page.

Estimated sewing time – 6-10 weeks (from the date of full payment and providing all required measurements and photos).

To guarantee the best fit and comfort, I recommend starting with purchasing a remote mock-up fitting session.

Customization:

These fully boned stays are based on the 1760s pattern and are a great choice for 18th-century Georgian dresses. The full boning of the outer layer is supported by internal horizontal boning and wooden busk. Such corsets are significantly heavier than half-boned, filled with synthetic whalebone and different types of steel to make them more durable.
The overall conical shape is quite comfortable with good waist reduction. Straps allow to adjust bust lift, and bottom tabs protect your waist from heavy skirts.

My assembling technique differs significantly from an authentic one, which allows stays to be fully machine assembled and have an affordable price. If you're interested in the recreation of an extant piece, please check the Bespoke section.

  • The basic corset is boned with a mix of metal and plastic and has a satin cord for lacing. The inside fabric layer is cotton, basic fashion fabric – cotton satin of in-stock colors (included in price)
  • Stays are back-laced in period asymmetric style. If you strictly prefer symmetric, please mention it in the personalization box. Modesty panels are not used for these stays, but if you need one, also mention it.
  • Select fabric type and preferable color. I'll send you an email with available in-stock fabrics (cottons and silks) or we decide on ordering a special one. Materials like silk sateens, damasks, genuine or faux leather may cost extra and will be covered by an additional invoice. Purchasing custom materials may increase production time.
  • Default straps are laced at front and fixed at back, you can choose the contrary design or fully removable straps (they can be replaced with ribbon for special occasions).
  • Handstitched eyelets can add a bit more "historical" touch or protect you from nickel allergy.
  • To decorate the corset even more, you can ask for contrast binding and decorative seam accents imitating extant techniques.
  • Leather binding on armpits can be added to protect the garment and resemble historical pieces even more.

How to take the measurements:

Please read the instructions carefully, since 80% of our success is the correct set of measurementsI recommend using assistance for better results. Feel free to ask, if you have questions about the scheme.

Undress till the underwear, use the bra that best fits you and lifts the bust. No pants, skirts, or anything that covers or squishes your body.

Mark the waistline with a tape - it should go horizontal below the usual “most thin” waist level, 1-2 cm (0.5-1") above the belly button. Check your body side - there should be no ribs or hip bones on this level, only soft parts of you!

I need at least two photos of you - front and side, mirror selfie is good enough. No pants or tops covering the torso, lingerie only. These images will never be seen by anybody except me or the sewing team, but I need them to focus on details like bust position and torso proportions. They will also be used to cross-check your measurements and help you to take them correctly. Please downsize those to fit the 10MB message limit.

Send the digits in cm/inch, keeping the numbering:

1. Bust
2. Underbust
3. Waist (larger, than usual, that’s ok)
4. Hip top (on the level of hip bones)
5. Hip
6. Waist to underbust (under the bra cup)
7. Waist to bottom of the belly (covering the belly, but leaving you the ability to sit)
8. Waist to hip top (at your side, between #3 and #4)
9. Waist to breast center (nipple level)
10. Waist to top edge of the corset through the cup (highest point)
11. Waist to top edge of the corset, center front (lowest cleavage point)
12. Waist to top edge of the corset, side (comfortable to your armpit)
13. Waist to top edge of the corset, back
14. Your full height
15. Bra cup size (please mention, US/EU/UK etc.)
23. Strap length (measured between top points of #10 to #13)
