What is a Corset?

A corset is a garment designed to shape the torso into a beautiful hourglass figure enhancing the natural feminine curves of the wearer’s body. A well-made authentic corset can reduce the waist size 2-4 inches and plus sized corsets can reduce the waist size up to 6”. Each authentic corset by A Beautiful Corset is crafted to rigorous quality standards by an experienced corset maker known as a corsetiere.

Authentic Corsets vs. Costume Corsets

Authentic corsets provided by A Beautiful Corset are completely different from mass-produced corsets, sometimes called “costume corsets.”  Every corset we sell is fashioned with superior construction and includes a traditional busk front closure made of steel loops and steel posts (similar to hook and eye fastenings), three fabric layers (that includes the decorative outer layer, an inner lining which holds the boning and the outer lining for a neat interior finish), and a modesty panel (to prevent skin peeking through behind the back lacing). All our laces are made of durable nylon woven cording with finished ends. We offer satin corsets, leather corsets, lace corsets, sequined corsets, PVC corsets, vinyl corsets, denim corsets, brocade corsets, velvet corsets, glitter corsets. We, at A Beautiful Corset, are proud to offer you corset choices of superior quality at an affordable price that will last for years and make a stunning impression every time you are laced into it.
