We will ask for a few basic measurements, after which we can tell you which corset shapes and sizes will work best for your body. It only takes a minute and makes sure you get the perfect corset, for your body.
You can also message us here with your measurements and we will email you our consultation.
The Corsets
All our steel boned corsets are sized in even waist sizes rising in two-inch increments and the equivalent dress sizes, also rising in 2 size increments.
Fitting
Steel boned corsets should be ordered at least 4-5 inches below your natural waist measurement and waist training corsets should be ordered at least 6-7 inches below your natural waist measurement depending on the desired effect. If you are tiny, then your waist will not compress as easily, nor as far, as a person who is larger.
Example - 4 inch below waist size:
A person whose natural waist size is 28 inches could order a corset of size 24 inches, and could wear the garment semi closed at the back giving a 2 inch reduction, or fully closed giving a 4 inch reduction. All corsets should be comfortable to wear.
How To Measure Yourself For A Corset
- Stand straight with your feet slightly apart.
- Relax your body, but do not slouch or extend it.
- Use a measuring tape to take your measurements. Should you not have a measuring tape, you can download one here.
- Ensure the measuring tape is snug but not tight.
- Use a full length mirror to ensure you are measuring correctly.
- Always measure 2-3 times for accuracy.
