Estimated sewing time – 6-10 weeks (from the date of full payment and providing all required measurements and photos).
Customization:
This 19th-century corset is based on the 1880s pattern - classic 7-panel cut that has been the most popular till nowadays and is the base of many modern patterns. Its shape offers the highest possible waist reduction, excellent bust support (and even built-in padding). Such style is the best selection as the first one to get for the Victorian period, since it can fit under dresses from the 1840s to 1890s. Crinolines or bustles, steampunk gowns or modern outfits - choose your occasion!
If you want to change the top line from overbust corset to midbust shape or shorten the bottom for horse riding - mention it in the personalization box.
The basic corset has a regular metal busk, a mix of metal and plastic bones, and a satin cord for back-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.
Decide if you want a lace trim. If yes, mention the color in the personalization box.
Hard busk can be added for big sizes, large bust, and expected high tension. It's much more rigid and makes a perfectly flat front.
If you'd like decorative flossing, select a pattern from available samples, regular or extra (with more stitch density). Mention the pattern number and desired color in the personalization box. The artistic flossing option is for larger decorative multicolor designs of your taste, like floral or geometric.
Delicate bust cording can add an even more luxurious look. Works best with lace trim.
Decorative boning channels (with or without belt detail) can be made with fabric of the same color or complementary/contrast one for a unique design.
Handstitched eyelets can add a bit more historical touch or protect you from nickel allergy.
If you are going to use your corset actively and prefer classic flexible busk - consider adding underbusk panel, rigid support piece that will protect busk from accidental damage.
Since this shape slightly flattens the bust, for smaller cups I recommend adding a built-in foam push-up, completely invisible but creating a nice curve.
Back non-removable modesty panel, or modern-style removable, can be added on request.
Please note that flat 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 measurements. I 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. Underbust3. Waist (larger, than usual, that’s ok)4. Hip top (on the level of hip bones)5. Hip6. 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, back14. Your full height15. Bra cup size (please mention, US/EU/UK etc.)
