French Blue Silk Dupioni 18th Century Stays

$338.00$388.00

From running through the palace halls at Versailles to taking tea in golden-lit backyard rose gardens, our Blue Silk Dupioni 18th Century Stays are the perfect companion for the Rococo-inspired daydreamer.  

Featuring front and back lacing that makes adjusting a breeze, a low scooped neckline accentuates and hugs the bust while a curved lower panel detail draws the eye to the wearer’s fitted waist.

French blue silk dupioni fabric and added front ribbon details place this versatile piece in the luxurious and light-hearted style of Marie Antoinette and the Late Baroque era.

Silk dupioni is woven using the threads from two or more silk worm cocoons, which creates a rich and slubby surface texture. These naturally occuring “slubs” are in no way a defect of the fabric, but a reminder of the natural origins of the fiber.

Details

We take pride in the craftsmanship and thoughtful design of each corset in our shop. This particular corset boasts a number of notable features, including:

-A durable and sturdy tight weave cotton canvas lining
-Hand-set bronze grommets
-Synthetic whalebone plastic boning. This type of boning is specially selected for its flexibility and strength, allowing it to gradually conform to your body shape as your body heat softens the plastic. For those interested in steel boning, this option is available for an additional fee.
-Strong satin lacing ribbon

Fiber Content

Outer: 100% Silk
Lining: 100% Cotton

Care Instructions

To keep your corset in its best condition, it is not recommended to wear your corset directly against your skin. Keep body oils and sweat off of your corset by wearing on of our chemises under your corset. If you must wash the corset, we recommend dry cleaning only.

Sizing

STANDARD SIZING: When selecting a size for your corset, please refer to the size chart included in the last photo of this listing. It is important to note that corsets do not fit like standard sizes, and a precise fit is crucial for optimal comfort and effectiveness. You can find a complete guide to taking your measurements here.

After you place your order, head over to the Measurements Form to submit your measurements. Please submit these as soon as you can — if we’re not able to get your measurements from you, your order will be delayed. 

**Please note that made to order items are not eligible for returns. If you choose a standard sized corset and it does not fit, you can exchange it for a different size, but can’t return it. Therefore please be sure about which size you choose, or select the custom fit option if you’re hesitant about the standard size fitting you.
