" This corset is a revelation in comfort and appearance. I have never worn a corset that moulded to my body so well, I could wear it all day! Incredible quality and the colour is stunning! If an off the shelf one feels this good I can't imagine how amazing it must be to have a custom made one! "
A bespoke service starts with a unique design which must be patterned from your own measurements from scratch, to form a blueprint of your body. Prices are tailored to each individual and are dictated by design, fabrics, embellishments, finishing and other special requirements. Each bespoke corset is unique and hand made to order based on clients wishes, using the best fabrics and embellishments available for fine couture. Your personal quote will include design consultation, patterning to your personal measurements, up to five fittings, all basic corsetry components and of course the finished garment.
Although restrictive, a corset should not be uncomfortable or cause pain either by pinching or by putting strain on the wrong parts of the body - a corset must be constructed bearing fully in mind, the skeletal structure and physiological attributes of each individual frame. In order for the body to have a smooth silhouette, the corset must have a smooth transition between it and the flesh. My corsets are constructed with comfort and smoothness in mind, not only as a finish to the end product but as a finish to the entire look. Fit, comfort, and silhouette are the main objectives.
Contrary to popular thought, corsets need not be bulky or stiff like armour - if you study an antique corset you will find them to be light as a feather and very flexible - I too believe in a light yet strong and durable construction using top quality materials and components. My corsetry is recognisable through elegant, clean lines with little or no 'fuss'. Where I add embellishment it is always to enhance the lines in order to maximise the drama. My method of corset construction means that all my corsets have a number of unique features designed to enhance comfort and wearability and these come as standard whichever service you choose. All components are sourced from within the UK or Europe.
A core of quality specialist corsetry coutil fabric for strength and durability
German steel components for longevity
Minimum of 22 steel bones in each corset plus sturdy front busk closure
Stiff under-busk as standard - improves posture, shape and comfort and is essential for waist training and tight lacing.
Coutil or tubular cotton boning channels for added durability
Light construction for flexibility and comfort
