Get the Right Fitting Corset Every Time

Corsets can do amazing things for our bodies but require a different sort of thinking when it comes to size selection.

As we're obsessed with getting you into a corset you'll love the look and fit of we've now got four ways you can become confident with corset sizing.

1. Fill out our easy to follow measuring guide form, either for the under bust corset of your choice or one of our over bust designs. Once you submit the form one of our expert corset fitters will email you back with a sizing recommendation for the corset you've chosen. We aim to do that the same day you submit your form. *A tape measure is required*

2. Book a free of charge online-Zoom call with one of our corset fitters, if you haven't had experience with a measuring tape then this is a good way to get on the spot live guidance of where to measure for the corset you want. *A tape measure is required* Here's the link to our booking calendar.

3. If you're lucky enough to live in Melbourne you can book a free in-person measuring session with Steph, our chief corset fitter. You'll also be able to be fitted for any of our 'ready to post, in-stock corsets'. Here's the link to our booking calendar.

4. DIY - if you prefer to do it yourself then take a look at the short video where Shan shows you how to work out your base corset size for most of our corsets.

 

 *For our Undercover Angel and Dark Desire mesh corsets take 5-6" off your natural waist measurement not 4".  The mesh has a lot more 'give' due to the holy nature of the fabric.

The images that follow show the other key measuring points you need to take in order to work out if the base corset size is going to fit you well at the under bust and at your high-mid hips.

Once you have these measurements take a look at the corset size chart for the corset design you want to order.

For firm fabric corsets like The Lilly, The Under bust Victorian, The Lace & Satin Under bust corset this is the formula you want to use.

Subtract 2-3" from your under bust measurement and see if it equals or is close to the under bust measurement of your base corset size.

Subtract 2"-4" from your high hip measurement and see if it equals or is close to the high hip measurement of your base corset size. *If you are narrow or not padded at your hips you want to subtract 2"-3".  If you are quite padded at your hips you want to subtract 4".

*For Undercover Angel & Dark Desire mesh corsets subtract 3" from your under bust measurement and 4-6" from your high hip measurement.

Don't worry we'll always check in with you and go through your measurements before making your corset or sending out a 'ready to post-in stock' one.
