Measurements Required for All Corsets
All corsets are your made-to-measurements whether standard or custom


What is a Standard Sized Corset?
Standard means that the measurements fit within standard measurements (Size 6,10,12,14,16,18) plus or minus within certain parameters.

What is a Custom Corset? When the measurements are more complicated, fall greatly outside the standard measures, special fabric, design or construction is required.

The determination between Standard and Custom is made upon review of measurements.

I: And, does your abdomen compress when you push on it with your hand?

Sounds like a funny question, however, it is really essential to fit. The corset will want to compress the abdomen when laced. Some women will not compress in which case shape/construction have to be handled differently.
