We do not recommend washing your corset, because this causes faster wear of the fabric, can dent and warp the bones, and lead to issues with fitting properly. If you must have you corset cleaned, take it to the dry cleaner. If you do sweat with your corset on or if it gets dirty, feel free to gently wipe the liner with a damp cloth. We also recommend wearing a tank top or corset liner beneath your corset to keep the inside of your corset clean.

Yes we offer both special order fabrics and made to measure corsets on a limited basis. At this time we currently are not accepting custom or special orders, but plan to resume hopefully in the coming year.
At this time we are unsure of an exact date. Due to some improvements were making with our manufacturer, we are hoping to resume again in the fall. Thank you for your patience.

This is a frequently asked question, partially from social media and conflicting information thats been shared. Our corsets are Fully Steel Boned and offer a Steel Busk. Depending on the design and size our corsets have anywhere from 18 – 30 steel bones. Per that Description our corsets are genuine and suitable for waist training. We do not claim our corsets directly result in weightloss, however with a balanced diet and active lifestyle can lead to those results. There are many claims that corsets aid correcting/healing in diastasis recti (if you’re looking to wear a corset in lieu of a medical girdle please consult a doctor). Also many claims that corsets minimize bloat, help reduce the ability to over eat (the pressure helps you to feel full faster), and boosts self confidence to keep you motivated. In this sense you may see results, but we do not promise, and as always we recommend before making lifestyle changes to always consult a medical professional.

There is some debate as to the best corset for waist training. At the end of the day, it would come down to preference, comfort, and what motivates you daily to lace up! A comfortable corset that you want to wear daily, is a whole lot more effective than an ill-fitting/ uncomfortable corset you dread wearing. Underbust, overbust, or waspie corsets can all be worn for waist training. The most important point is going to always be comfort and fit. The second most important part of that decision is durability.

We offer two different types of mesh. A non stretchy sports mesh (similar to a sports jersey fabric). This mesh is breathable and lightweight, but is double layered for extra strength. This fabric may stretch slightly over time, but not as much as a fishnet style mesh (and will not have any apparent stretch when pulling on the fabric). Our second mesh fabric is a traditional polyester corsetry mesh. This fabric feels like wire, and does not stretch anymore than cotton or satin. Corsetry mesh is finer in weave and the edges can poke through the binding of the corset (poking or rubbing against your skin). If you find a stray edge has worked its way through the binding, we recommend carefully trimming with nail clippers. This type of mesh is recommended to be worn with a corset liner to avoid irritation.

The seasoning period is to allow your body to become accustomed to the compression, as well as allowing the materials to soften. We advise taking your time, slowly tightening your corset, and only keeping at a lighter reduction to start. At a small reduction, start your wearing with shorter lengths of time. You may gradually increase the duration as you begin to feel more comfortable. Please do not tighten all the way down right away. Tightening too much, and too quickly could possibly harm you. Take this time for you and your corset to get introduced. There is no one way to season but the most important part is that you listen to what your body is telling you. Have fun with it! We hope you fully enjoy your investment.
Think of it like breaking in a nice new pair of leather shoes!

We offer both flexible and stiff busks in our designs. It can vary from corset to corset, so be sure to check the product descriptions! Both busk designs offer different benefits. A stiff busk is most common and offers more of a firm feel to the corset. This busk is very rigid and often accompanies a stiffened modesty placket. If you are looking for extra support or simply prefer more of a firm hug then i recommend this busk. This busk has a more tubular side profile. The flexible busk is more suited to active lifestyles. If you find yourself moving a lot, bending, or sitting; this busk is meant for you. The flexible busk gives more of a contoured profile from the side, and allows for more flexibility in movement (while still offering support). The flexible busk is a fan favorite, but isn’t for everyone. Keep this in mind when making your decision. The flexible busk does have a tendency to point outwards at the front bottom edge if there is extra space in the hip. (during seasoning for example)

Hello! I’ve been looking at your site for a while using the tools you provide for sizing and I am still having trouble narrowing down to one corset that will fit the way I want.
I am looking for a corset with a 3 to 4.5 in underbust but I don’t seem to be able to find one that will fit both my rib and my hip measurement, so I’m wondering if you can recommend me one.
I have a 33 underbust, a 30 inch waist and a 40 inch high hip and I was looking to get a size 26 corset which I would wear with a 1 or 2 inch gap. My concern is not having enough room in the hips or gapping in the ribs.
Thank you!
