All our Victorian corsets have the standard 2 inches waist reduction built in – the reduction will vary from person to person depending on the lady’s built and body type. Please measure carefully – your actual waist measurement should be at least 2 inches more than the measurement of the corset. The corset can be worn closed competely, or with a gap up to 2inches.

The corsets should not be worn on naked skin -  please wear them on a vest, chemisette or a blouse - or fitted tee shirt.
