What type of boning do you use in your corsets?

We use synthetic whalebone, which is more historically accurate, durable, and comfortable to wear than steel boning. Steel boning was not used until the Victorian era, and only used because steel was easier to manufacture than sourcing whalebone. Now that synthetic whalebone is available and a suitable alternative, it is agreed upon by many fashion historians as the best type of boning to use.

Do you accept returns/exchanges?

We understand that sometimes things don't work out! We happily accept returns on items that are unworn, unused, and undamaged. Items must be shipped back within 14 days of original delivery date (as marked by your tracking information). All returns are subject to a 5% restocking fee, and original shipping costs will not be refunded. You must include your order number or packing slip so that we can identify your order. To begin the return process, please send us a message on Etsy. We are not able to process exchanges. The best way to exchange an item is to return it and purchase a new item.

Do you sell corset patterns?

Yes! Check out our collections of patterns in our shop.

How should I clean my corset?

To keep your corset in its best condition, it is not recommended to wear your corset directly against your skin. Keep body oils and sweat off of your corset by wearing one of our chemises under your corset. If you must wash the corset, we recommend dry cleaning only.

Where are you located and do you have a storefront?

We are located about two hours north of San Francisco in Sebastopol, California .At this time, we do not have a physical location or a store front of any kind, since we are still a very small business. Maybe one day!

What happened to your handmade items?

Although we handmade our corsets and other clothing items for over 7 years, we decided to discontinue our handmade items in order to maintain a more sustainable business model, protect our team from burn out, offer more affordable pricing, and focus more on bringing you new designs to fall in love with. While we're not sure at the moment if our handmade items will return, we can assure you that the same love and care is put into every one of our designs.

Highlights

Materials: genuine cow leather, grommets, lacing string

Our underbust corset belts are the perfect accessory to dip your toes in to the world of corsetry. Not quite a true corset and not as simple as a belt, this strappy leather waist cincher can be easily incorporated into your wardrobe as a timeless accessory, or can be the centerpiece of your Renaissance Faire costume. Pair it with high waisted jeans and a t-shirt for a casual look, layer it over a dress in place of a belt, or pair it with a linen chemise and skirt for an easy Renaissance Faire outfit. This black leather underbust corset will become a staple accessory of your wardrobe!

This corset belt is made from 100% American cow leather and tanned using natural vegetable tanning processes. Reinforced topstitching, hand-set metal grommets and metal tipped lacing ties make this belt as durable as it is versatile.

SIZING:
We recommend selecting the size based on your underbust (area around your ribcage where a bra band usually sits) and natural waist measurement. Your bust size does not really matter as this item sits under the bust. If you are in between sizes, choose a smaller size if you'd like there to be a larger lacing gap in the front, or choose a larger size if you'd like the corset to close all the way (or near to it).

Small:
Underbust 29"-32.5"
Waist 24″-27″

Medium:
Underbust 32.5"-36"
Waist 27.5″-30.5″

Large:
Underbust 36"-39"
Waist 30.5″-33.5″

X-Large:
Underbust 39.5"-43"
Waist 34″-37″

2X:
Underbust 43"-47"
Waist 37.5″-41.5″

Beautiful quality leather and stitching, a real practical garment rather than a cheap one-off costume. Perfect for everyday wear or for a special occasion. I've been wearing it over black bell-sleeved dresses. Sizing: I am 36D in bras and have a 32 inch waist, ordered a large and it fits very comfortably. I do wish the straps had additional grommets to make their length adjustable, but it's an easy fix for a shoemaker. Maybe a consideration if you ever update the design? 😄
