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).

Customization:

These short stays are an excellent bust support to be worn under Regency dresses of the 1800s-1810s. Use it for historically accurate silhouette under Napoleonic Empire gowns
While long stays are recommended for the best posture and shape for ballroom dancing, short stays are much easier to put on and move in it. Consider it more comfortable for middle-class costumes, active movement, and horse riding.

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 has a mix of metal and plastic bones and a satin cord for lacing. The inside fabric layer is cotton, basic fashion fabric – cotton satin of in-stock colors (included in price). 
  • 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).
  • If you're planning the stays for daily wear, you can request making straps with buckles closure (mind that buckles are around 4cm wide).
  • Stays are by default front-laced in symmetric style. You can also request back lacing with a short non-removable wooden busk at front for better bust separation. Or select front + back lacing for maximum size variety. 
  • Bust gussets can be made corded - this feature is not only decorative, but also adds volume for a smaller bust and extra support for larger. 
  • Handstitched eyelets can add a bit more "historical" touch or protect you from nickel allergy.
  • Modesty panel can be added if you want to wear the stays on the naked body or as a top garment.
  • Flossing and lace trim might not be period accurate for this style, but if you want it to be decorated in a more fancy way - choose your combo! Don't forget to mention colors and flossing pattern in the personalization box.
  • Please note that straight midbust or curvy overbust top line shape depends on the measurements you take.

    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)
    6. Waist to underbust (under the bra cup)
    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)
