STANDARD SIZED READY-MADE CORSETS

The only difference between these corsets (pictured on either side of the sizing chart immediately below) and Sue's fully custom corsets is that they are four panel rather than six, they are made to fit standard sizes shown below, she delivers them in about six weeks versus three months or more, plus they save you anywhere from $75 to $150 since there is no upcharge for (1) velvet or brocade in stock (shopping for special fabrics may entail a shopping fee or upcharge), (2) outer boning casings, (3) or larger waist sizes, as there is with fully custom corsets---making this spiffy little corset a great value indeed! It is of tight-lacing quality and will reduce the waistline by four inches.

You may order cotton backed satin lining instead of the usual heavy cotton duck or denim lining, at additional $85 charge. Please tell us your snug natural waist measurement, color and fabric choices. Corsets will be inner boned unless you tell us otherwise. Please note that we now offer standard sizes up to snug natural waist size of 50 inches!

BASIC CORSETS - STANDARD STYLES

Standard size underbust corsets (not fully custom) include almost any fabric choice and color, at no additional charge, and have a 4 to 6 week typical turn-around time. No garters are included ($15 extra per pair).  They reduce the waist by four inches when corset is closed in back. Send your snug natural waist, your height and weight only. These fit only sung natural waists: 22-24, 24-26, 26-28, 28-30, 30-32 inches, and are 10" tall. Please inquire about other standard sizes that may have been developed. Please order from this page.

BASIC CORSETS - CUSTOM

All custom corsets are made in polysatin unless otherwise indicated, fully-lined in denim or cotton twill or in the alternative, satin, at additional fee, double boned under the arms otherwise single boned (note that for waists 32" and over we recommend double boning and for waists 35" and over, triple boning, for a small additional fee, grommeted in silver, and laced with ribbon lacing.  Busks include only 10", 12" or 14" sizes; hooks and eyes will be used for longer fronts. Included at no additional charge are: (1) Back lacing protector; (2) Front lacing or side front lacing in place of or in addition to back lacing; (2) Overbust styles require and include one personal fitting in the Bay Area or one mail order muslin. You may request a muslin for an underbust style at fee listed below. Some unique changes to corset or special patterns to accommodate scoliosis may require a pattern fee. There is no fabric credit for customer fabric.

Note that some fabrics, once received from customer or purchased by corset maker, may require a small additional fee or a bonding fee to insure durability over time and tight-lacing; customer will be notified if fee results after placement of order and prior to purchase of fabric. For matching skirts, costumes, chemises and other garments, please inquire.
