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

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.

CUSTOM SIZING: For those whose measurements do not perfectly align with the sizes listed on the chart, we recommend choosing the custom fit sizing option. 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.

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.

Purple Floral Silk Dupioni 18th Century Stays

$338.00

This corset features luxurious 100% silk dupioni in purple with mauve floral details. Lace up into this unique beauty to complete your fairy, Rococo, cottage core, Marie Antoinette, or Renaissance looks.

These stays feature front and back lacing for easy adjustability, a low scooping neckline to accentuate and support the bust, and curvy waist tabs for accentuating the waist. Whether you intend to wear this piece regularly or for only the most special of occasions, our corsets are always built to last through the ages.

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