There are lots that go into corsets that meet the eye, here are some things that goes in the making of our corsetry!

We use hand cut nickel-free spiral and spring metal boning throughout the corset. The flexible spiral throughout the corset for comfort and the ridged spring steel in the front and back where support is needed.

For the front opening, we use a top quality steel busk for easy on and off. Heavy-duty zippers are available but not recommended. We will only do corsets without a busk if it's for evening wear as they are very hard to put on and get off.

All corsets are lined with a starched English coutil, which is a tightly woven herringbone fabric specially manufactured for corsetry and medical support garments that will not stretch or rip and last you years of wear.

Top layer fashion fabrics are fused to a thin layer of non stretch fabric to strengthen. So in total there are three layers of fabric inside a corset plus double-sided fusing.

We hand cut all our binding for our corsets to ensure the colors match when they should and do not wrinkle or pull.

All corsets have a high back construction to prevent excess skin that may spill over the corset. Low back is available upon request.

All corsets come with 6 tabs along the inside bottom regardless of if you order garter straps to go with your corset just in case you would like to add them on in the future.

We include a regular satin corset tote with all corset orders as of the beginning of 2011! You can upgrade to a peephole heart tote for an extra $5.

♥ All corsets have a reinforced coated front metal busk and a front modesty panel.
♥ As a reinforcement, we sew in a waist tape at the waist in between the layers.
♥ We hand press two-piece grommets for the back closure and include a healthy amount of strong 5/16" width tipped lacing.
