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.
This corser is sold as used - it was worn once.

bust - 32" (82cm)
Waist - 24" (61cm)
hip - 34" (86cm)

Would best suit a uk size 8-10, with a natural waist of 26-29", chest 34-36", hip 35-37" .
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
Bespoke corsets in this style start from £450
