✨ Beneath the lace, assurance. Between the bones, poise.

Forget the tales that paint the Victorian corset as an instrument of torture. Properly cut, it follows your every move with freedom: waltzing until dawn, riding astride, whirling a petticoat or delivering a witty remark.

This model, in garnet broché coutil , closes at the front with a metal busk and adjusts at the back with “bunny-ear” lacing that ties without assistance. Satin bindings add the final touch — between elegance and mischief.

✂️ A creation stitched for you
This model is not in stock: it is made to order, to your measurements and preferences.

You choose:

  • Your size (with my guidance if needed)
  • The fabrics (identical or equivalent, depending on availability)
  • The details (length, lining, stylistic variations)

Each piece is entirely handmade in my atelier, with a preliminary toile.

I work exclusively with eco-sourced or upcycled fabrics, from trusted European suppliers.
