All Victorian "Elira" corsets are made from two layers - heavy rayon satin as outer layer and cotton coutil as inner strength layer - and are boned with a mix of synthetic whalebone and steel. The silhouette it creates is perfect for the 1880s-1890s fashions if you are into historical costuming. "Elira" corsets are overbusts that stop 2" (5 cm) above nipple line.

NOTES ON SIZING AND FIT: Because corsets are non-elastic, unlike bras, the cup volume that fits you according to our size charts may differ slightly from the bra size you usually wear - this is normal.

Note for cup A: If the difference between your bust and underbust measurements is less than 5” (13 cm), the corset will fit more loosely at the bust.

To determine your ideal bust measurement in a corset, subtract 2” (5 cm) from your natural bust circumference. Corsets are typically worn with a lacing gap at the back rather than fully closed. The average gap width is 2” (5 cm), which ensures a snug fit and proper support. After calculating this adjusted measurement and comparing it with your other body measurements, you can select the appropriate size and cup volume.  

If your underbust measurement is at the upper limit of a size range in the chart, and your waist measurement is an inch (a few centimeters) larger, prioritize the underbust measurement when choosing your size. Waist compression is easily adjusted with lacing, so a slight difference of a couple of centimeters in the waist is not critical.

WHAT IS INCLUDED: please note that by default the corset you receive will not be decorated with any embroidery, as seen in the first image, unless you add Flossing Embroidery Surcharge to your order and pick a design. To add lace decoration, click here - Lace Decoration Surcharge. To add a removable modesty panel, click here - Removable Modesty Panel - it will be made out of the same fabric as your corset. To add elastic suspenders, click here - Elastic Suspenders (Garters) Surcharge. 

Photo 1 is provided for silhouette and shape reference, and finished products will be made out of materials shown in photo 2. There will be 7 meters (7.6 yards) of lacing ribbon included with your corset.

LEAD TIME: made-to-order corsets are normally made from scratch based on a standard size chart, unlike ready-to-ship pieces. Production of your made-to-order corset is going to take from 2 to 4 weeks, unless already in stock (in such cases it takes up to 3 business days to pack and ship). It is always ideal to discuss a deliver-by deadline, otherwise the order will be processed in the order it was received. Clear deadlines allow for effective work planning.

SHIPPING: "Elira" corsets are handmade by me and are shipped worldwide from Warsaw, Poland with UPS within the European Union or FedEx to the rest of world, with full insurance.
