I create traditional, historically correct corsets, as well as fashion corsets. These are made especially for you from your measurements and your choice of fabric, no two corsets will be exactly the same, unlike the mass produced 'corsets' you've seen. I like to use a fabric called coutil, which is closely woven, very strong and perfect for the job, and steel boning which speaks for itself.

I specialise in bridal corsetry, either as an under garment to give you a tiny tiny waist, or now more popular as a piece of outerwear which can be embellished with lace, beads, ribbon etc. These trimmings can match or complement the colour scheme of your wedding. Fabric samples can be sent out to you, or you may have a fabric you'd like made up into a corset, you could send a sample for me to okay. The recent interest in the Burlesque market is giving me the opportunity to use more flambouyant fabrics and trimmings, and also start a range of skirts and accessories.

 I prefer to see my clients for fittings but am happy to work from measurements you've supplied. As my work is made for you and the pictures I have are from clients I don't feel it appropriate to price items on the site. Please contact me for details.
