They've been seen on WAG Kimberely looking stunning and then there was Maggie Smith talking about the toll of making the final series of Downton and why she never wants to see a corset again! Well we are all sad to see the end of Downton looming and sorry to hear Countess Violet was uncomfortable in her corset although in the final series which is the 1920’s I am surprised the cast were wearing corsets?

Fabric: It’s all about quality not quantity! A corset with 4, 5 sometimes even six layers does not mean the corset is stronger if the fabric is no good for corsetry. The inner lining of the corset needs to be strong but soft to your skin this is why on all of our corsets the inner lining is made from 65% cotton so that it's soft against your skin and 35% polyester to give our corsets world class strength. When choosing a fabric for corsetry the designer needs to considered how...

Thinking of purchasing some new lingerie? If so, you’ve probably been struggling with the decision of whether to purchase a corset or bustier. While these two undergarments may look alike in many ways, they are completely different items of clothing. How do they differ? Let’s take a look.

Corsets are the perfect lingerie for a fun night in the bedroom or a ‘wow’ look out on the town. If you love wearing corsets, chances are you have more than one, or at least plan on purchasing more. Since you can’t wear all of these garments at once, storage becomes a necessity, and doing it properly is essential.

They deserve and require the same type of care and consideration other unique garments do, such as wedding dresses and suits. You wouldn’t carelessly stuff these items of clothing into a drawer, so why would you treat your new black corset that way? What to do After Taking...

Accessories to Choose With Your Corsets Accenting the style of a stunning steel boned corset is all about complementing the corset, not competing...
