Instant Shape Size Chart

Our sizing chart below is to be used with your body measurements. "Instant Shape" corsets are rated to a 2" Waist Reduction and are to be worn with at least a 2" gap at the back. This is already factored in to our size chart. Simply select the Corset Size that corresponds with Your Natural Waist Measurement.  

Corsets are fully adjustable at the back. You can "Open" or "Close" the lacing at the Bust, Waist & Hip independently for the perfect fit. Our patterns have been developed and tested to fit a variety of body shapes using these adjustments.

The majority of the tension running through a corset is focused on the waist. This makes the waist the critical measurement when sizing your corset. The hip and bust can be "Opened" or "Closed" to fit provided the waist is accurate.

12 Month Quality Guarantee
Corset Story has become synonymous for quality, value and choice. A corset is a complicated and time consuming garment to produce due to the various stages of construction. Constructing a corset can be a daunting task for an individual.

However, we found that by organising our production line into various departments, each concentrating on a specific stage and discipline of manufacturing, we were able to introduce a set of quality controls at every stage of the production process.

We stand behind the quality of our garments, any corset you purchase from Corset Story is guaranteed for 12 months from the date of purchase. In the unlikely event that your corset develops a defect within the first 12 months simply email an image and short description of the issue, along with your order number to sales@corset-story.com

Myself or one of our agents will ship a replacement corset to you immediately.

Historically close

I'm a living historian with several historically accurate mid 18th century stays. I wanted something that was less expensive and easier to put on when I'm by myself. I have lupus and joint hypermobility which makes back lacing difficult sometimes. Never thought I'd say the zipper is a great addition but it is. Nobody sees my underpinnings just the silhouette that counts. I got your 7 for 1 deal and love every different one of them! Excellent quality.

I was super excited about the style of this corset, but was disappointed to realize all the channel stitching on the front is fake and does not actually contain any of the limited boning(on separate lining layer), which then allows the outer fabric to bunch up horizontally in an unattractive manner. This was also my first side-zip corset, and I had to size up to even get it on, but then I could tighten it pretty much closed, so not sure if I should have just unlaced or gotten a longer ribbon in the first place. But the shape doesn’t actually look good tight-laced, so not sure if I need to wear it loose like a fashion corset? Also the tabs stick out excessively except for the few with boning. But I’ve already exchanged once and can’t return because of multi-buy deal, so I guess I’ll have to try to make it work…

An absolutely stunning, gorgeous, woweeee corset. Expertly crafted with exquisite materials and design. I am 52 years old and have felt dumpy for a very long time and yet when I tried on this dazzling garment it made me feel ethereal! Even my grown daughter (who is brutally honest) was impressed. She walked in the room after I’d just put it on and the look of surprise on her face was amazing as she declared, “Mama you look BEAUTIFUL!” Best review ever! Thank you!!!

I got 5 corsets and this was the only one that wouldn't fit. It's much much too small. Over a foot too small.
