House of Serpentine: Signature Corsets

The designs that have stood the test of time — refined over two decades, returned to again and again.

The Lilly traces a gentle hourglass just beneath the bra line for effortless waist shaping. The Turn of the Century offers full overbust lift and support with hip gussets that smooth and stabilise — our most requested design for fuller busts. Both are cut and sewn to your measurements in our Australian atelier, typically completed in 2–3 weeks. The Grimoire has our full sizing and measuring guides.

Two Decades of Steel-Boned Craft

Every corset in this collection is constructed with flat and spiral steel boning, waist tape, and modesty panels — built to reduce and to last. Our atelier has refined a small number of signature styles that clients return to again and again.

Not sure of your size?

Corset sizing is not the same as dress sizing. Your natural waist measurement is the starting point — our guide walks you through every measurement you need.

How to measure
What is the difference between underbust and overbust corsets?

An underbust corset sits below the bust and shapes the waist and torso. It can be worn over or under clothing. An overbust corset extends over the bust, providing both shaping and support — no separate bra required for many styles.

Are these corsets steel boned?

Yes. All Gallery Serpentine corsets use a combination of flat and spiral steel bones. We do not stock plastic-boned corsets. Steel boning is essential for genuine waist reduction and long-term structural integrity.

How much waist reduction can I expect?

For beginners, 2–3 inches is a comfortable starting reduction. Experienced wearers who season their corsets over time can achieve 4–6 inches. We recommend starting conservatively and building gradually.
