Product Information
This supremely feminine piece is one of Corset Story’s most historically accurate items. Its khaki colouring, shaped hem and matching satin lace-up details create a nostalgic effect that’s nothing short of Gregorian. Based on a pattern from the 17th century, it appealed to the upper classes as a status symbol then - and it carries the same sophisticated energy today.
Crafted with a traditional corset silhouette, it can reduce the waist size by up to 4 inches, while remaining comfortable. Perfect for LARP costuming yet versatile enough to be paired with everyday denim, this is a beautiful reworking of a whimsical garment.

Our sizing chart below is to be used with your body measurements. "Waist Taming" corsets are rated to a 4" 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.

WAIST REDUCTION
The Waist Reduction rating is the maximum waist reduction achievable of the corset. Just because a corset is rated to a 4" or 5" waist reduction doesn't mean you have to wear them that tightly, you have the choice between comfort & control
Waist Reduction not your priority? This rating will also give you an idea of the weight of the corsets in our collections, from lingerie to expert level corsetry, as well as the support they offer
DISGUISE RATING
The Disguise Rating is how invisible a corset is underneath clothing, relative to the other designs available in our collections
All corsets & foundation garments will be difficult to completely disguise underneath bodycon and very tight fitting sheer garments. Dresses with scooped back can also be problematic when pairing with overcast designs
COMFORT RATING
The Comfort Rating is how comfortable your corset will be. Some fabrics are less suited to longer periods of wear and more theatrical designs can become heavy if wearing all day
Naturally you will find the your corset will be less comfortable the tighter you lace it, corsetry is about finding the balance between comfort & control that best suits you
