Beguiling, Sensual, Dramatic
Construction
JB Corsets are constructed using traditional materials in innovative ways which ensures that our corsets are extremely strong but not bulky. They are sturdy enough for a specialty garment but feel light and almost ‘invisible’ to wear. Expert craftsmanship ensures that each piece will last for years or generations to come.
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 and every corset includes:
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
Julia specialises in tight lacing and other non-traditional forms of corsetry as well as bridal corsetry and couture.
Fit
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.

JB Corsets are priced individually, based on the level of complexity and customisation.
All corsets are made to order in your choice of fabric. Regular customers have patterns on file so that they can simply order when they need to and avoid patterning and customisation costs. With limited alterations, this is a very cost effective way to ensure your corsetting needs are always met.
