The Cathedral Corset is inspired by the cathedral bras of the 1950's with their main feature being the triangular 'cathedral' points at the bust line detailed with rows of retro-style stitching. These are enhanced by the gently swooping seams which draw the eye towards the centre of the corset making a sleek and graceful line which enhances the illusion of a disappearing waist! This original design is a therefore a beautiful fusion of old and new, seamlessly bringing together the elegance of mid-century design, with perfect fit for the modern body. Pretty lingerie style details include adjustable bra straps with little bow details and customisable design details include a belt, cording, or bone channel embroidery features.
