Each of our bespoke corsets are custom made from the measurements that are given to us by the client. We are happy to do in-person fittings if you are in the Toronto area, but if you aren’t you can send us your measurements online.
Here is an in-depth tutorial of the measuring process you will be asked to fill out to order your corset, or you send us your measurements after your purchase has been made.
- Be sure you are wearing a tighter fitting tee shirt, or tank top. It is also best to wear pants or leggings. If you typically wear a bra, or will be ordering an over the bust style of corset, be sure the bra is unpadded.
- Begin by tying a string around your waist to mark your “waist point”
- Always double check measurements.
- We will always contact you if something looks a little off, and we will mail you a mock up to be sure everything is fitting as it should.
 1. Bust
Measure around the fullest part of your bust with your arms down. (cup too! ) |
