I will be taking a limited number of corset orders – currently four per month.
- The corsets will cost £95 each.
- They will be an underbust style, with a straight top, and curved at the front and back.
(A gallery will be online by the end of August.) - They will be made from fabrics which I already have in my collection.
You can choose your fabric from this gallery. - They will be made according to measurements that you will provide.
If you would like to sign up for this I will require payment in advance, via PayPal.
Each month I will give a date for receipt of payment. If I have not received your payment by this date, I will allocate your place to the next person in the queue. Speed is of the essence!
Once I have received your payment, I will send out a “measuring pack”. This will contain a tape measure, three pieces of elastic, and instructions for what to do with them! ;)
I will require your measurements within ONE WEEK of you receiving the pack, otherwise I can’t guarantee that your corset will be ready by the end of the month.
As soon as I receive your measurements, I will draft a pattern just for you, and make your corset.
It will be made from:
- An outer layer of fashion fabric, according to your choice.
- An internal layer of polycotton herringbone coutil.
- An internal waist tape, made from polyester grosgrain ribbon.
- A lining of plain cotton or polycotton.
- 16-20 straight steel bones and a silver busk.
- Two-part eyelets (5mm) in silver, gold or black.
- Laces in black or white, with metal-tipped ends to match the eyelets.
- Bias binding to match or contrast with the fashion fabric.
If you would like any beaded trims or a gold busk, please add £5.
If you would like an overlayer of lace or mesh, please add £10.
If you would like to choose your own fabric, there will be an additional charge subject to the cost of the materials.
Please leave a comment if you are interested!
I am currently taking advance bookings for September and October 2008.
DISCLAIMER – I CANNOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY IF YOUR CORSET DOES NOT FIT DUE TO INCORRECT MEASUREMENTS.
I will make the instructions as clear as possible, but you MUST email and ask questions if you’re unsure!
If you are nervous about ordering a corset without being able to try it on, I can make a mock-up to your measurements. You can try this on, and I can make any alterations which might be necessary.
A mock-up will cost an additional £50, and will add at least an extra two weeks to the construction time.
Corsets will be sent out via Special Delivery, so that they’re properly insured. This is included in the price for orders within the UK. For overseas orders, please contact me, and I will work out the cost of insured shipping to your country.
I will do my best to stick to the deadlines agreed.
I cannot be held responsible for late receipt of payment or measurements, or any delays in shipping.

Hi Laura, I’m afraid this is an old page, and I am no longer making corsets. Best wishes, Claire
