✨ The support that sets the tone: beneath the satin, discipline and charm.
– “But what is your corset for, Marquise?”
– “To support my bust and make my belly flatter. The fashion is for a long torso, you see…”
– “But surely it must be most unpleasant?”
– “Not at all, my friend! Made to my own measures, it compresses only where it should — and never where it should not.”
– “So it must be made to order?”
– “Why, of course!”
This model offers the impeccable support demanded by 18th-century fashion.
It embraces your form without brutality and ensures your gown achieves the perfect line it deserves.
