Corset
sizing varies from style to style, and designer to
designer. Ordering a reduced waist size in a specific
style and size does not mean all styles in this size will
accommodate you the same way. Therefore, we recommend
submitting measurements when ordering to ensure the fit
(See measuring guide). We are happy to provide sizing information on specific styles upon request. If you
are unsure as to which styles will best accommodate you,
feel free to contact us.
Corsets should be ordered 4-6 inches below the natural
waist measurement for proper function and fit. Keep in
mind, a solid frame has less give than a softer frame, and
a 6 inch reduction would not be recommended in this case
(large lacing gaps may result). Corsets should not be
ordered with a 2 inch reduction, unless the wearer is
waist training or tight-lacing and requires the next
smallest size. Ordering in 2 inch reduced waist sizes will
require made to measure and an additional fees will apply.
