Please refer to our Customer Information Form and general terms of sale. Please also note: California residents add 8.5% sales tax; shipping included. Corset prices quoted on the web and in the catalog are approximate. Please inquire based upon your personal measurements, style, pattern, fabric and embellishment selections. Please note: While readymade corsets like the Simple Pleasures and
PCP featured here, are excellent quality and value for the price, such
corsets can never rise to the same level of quality as a custom made,
tight lacing corset, which latter corset will typically cost up to $100
or more than a readymade corset. Sometimes, as with any purchase, you
may wish to compromise a bit at first, and spend less, in order to try
out a corset and see if you like them well enough to then move up to
a fully-custom, tight-lacing version. |

SIMPLE PLEASURES - WASHABLE SATIN CINCHER (c)(R)ROMANTASY 1997 Our most popular "starter" corset, this 9" busk
front lined cincher comes in six popular colors (specify outer and
lining color): black, burgundy, royal blue, red, white, silver and
burnished gold, with black or coordinating braid trim on the top and
bottom edges. The corset is of cotton backed satin that has been
pre-washed. Anticipated waist reduction is three inches (not
tight-lacing). Please note: This cincher while reversible, and
made of high quality cotton-backed, washable satin is not constructed
for tight-lacing, defined here as more than a 3" waist reduction for 6
hrs. at a time. It will not last much longer than 2-10 years depending
on wear and care. A fully custom tight-lacing corset with double boning,
waist tape, and bonding, may last 5 to 20 years with much more frequent
and longer hours of wear. This cincher does not have the double boning,
waist tape, and bonding or innerfacing typically required for
tight-lacing and long hours of daily wear. If you want a corset that
provides for tight-lacing, then please do not order this cincher, but
invest in a fully custom corset. We are happy to advise you further on
that process. Natural waists over 31" add $25. For brocade add
$25. Basic price $235. |

You may choose a single color for the edge trim and back panels, but it is particularly handsome when red predominates. Interlined for tight lacing and spiral boned for comfort. Please use custom order form. In satin only. This is a tight-lacing quality corset with waist
tape, double boning, and bonding or innerfacing for long-term strength
and durability. |

THE CORVEST (c)(R)ROMANTASY 1997 Appropriate to improve fit of men's business suits
or formal wear. Brocade vest reduces waistlines by, improves posture,
and controls appetites. The boned structure is entirely hidden beneath
a handsome traditional brocade vest which buttons over an under-panel
that easily zips up. The CorVest may be ordered
with a lace-up back as shown in the photo, or for a more conservative
"look," with a smooth satin back with laces completely hidden in front
under the buttons. You may choose a custom garment, forwarding measurements
taken from our website or elect a standard size (sm, med, lg, and xlg.).
For standard garments simply send your coat jacket size, chest and waist
measurements, and color desired: black, black and gold, black and blue,
navy blue, white or bone. |

SUE NICE STANDARD CORSET The only difference between this standard corset and Sue's fully custom corset is that this one is four panel rather than six, is made to fit standard sizes shown below, we deliver your order in about four weeks versus two to three months, plus you save anywhere from $75 to $150 since there is no upcharge for (1) velvet or brocade, (2) outer boning casings, (3) two pair of garters, or (4) 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. Remember you can request velvet or brocade, and outer boning casings
at no additional charge! You may order satin lining instead of the usual
heavy cotton duck or denim lining, at an additional $45 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! |
