Victorian corset 34"

This type of corset is essential in creating the curvy silhouette, typical of the Victorian era. It creates the small waist/rounded hip profile, and forms the basis for all kinds of Victorian attire across the social strata. All our bodices are cut to fit the silhouette created by a corseted body. 

 Unlike the Basic stylees, this  one is a more complex style with exterior , double boned channels.

 Features:

* made in quality specialist corsetry cotton broche

*exterior channels in self fabric 

*strong stainless steel busk

*boning channels boned with flat and spiral steel bones

*back lacing eyelets with washers

* waist tape

*edges bound in cotton bias tape

* laced with a cotton cord

* cotton lace decoration

*bones flossed wiht a contrasting waxed silk thread

Measurements - the corset closes at:

bust - 41" (104cm)

Waist - 34" (86cm)

hip - 44" (112cm)

 side length ( armpit edge to waist) 6.5" (17cm)

Would best suit a curvy size 16-18 , with a natural waist of 37-40", chest 43-45", hip 47-49" .

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 3 inches more than the waist measurement of the corset.

 The corset doesn't need to close - a gap at the back is perfectly  normal, allowing a greater range of sizes to be worn.

 The hip should not be too tight - best measure  yours when sitting. A corset with a hip fitting very snuggly when standing, can be uncomfortable to sit in!

If you are at a loss  as to what to look out for when shopping for corsets and how to check if they fit once you have bought one, this guide will help! 

If you are interested with a corset with more or less reduction, please contact us asking for a bespoke order – more information on ordering in the Bespoke section
