What should I wear with my corset?

This really is a matter of personal taste. There are countless ways you can wear a corset. Some of our clients wear them as part of an elegant evening ensemble with a complimentary long slim skirt, or full pleated skirt. Others wear them under fitted jackets for a slightly less formal evening look. For a racier look, try a leather miniskirt or hot pants. For a truly costumed look we suggest you consult your local Costumers Guild for tips. The possibilities are endless.

Can I use my corset as a weight loss aid?

A corset will compress your stomach during wearing, but when you take it off your tummy returns to it's normal size! It's very important to continue to eat small regular meals. Proper nutrition is necessary to your health and well being. Suppressing your appetite with a corset is far from the best way to reduce your weight. Consult your doctor for a proper weight loss program.

What is the difference between the Waist Cincher and the Underbust Victorian?

Both corsets fit from just under the bust to just past the hip bone. The Underbust Victorian has more pattern pieces than the Waist Cincher, allowing for more comfortable and evenly distributed waist reduction.

I am male, what style do you suggest?

For masculine wear, the Waist Cincher accentuates the shoulder to waistline "V". Another favorite is the Amazon, cut higher at the center front than we do for women. For feminization, the Underbust Edwardian sits just below the bust allowing a bra to be worn and shapes the hips ideally.
