CORSETS IN THE PRESS!

Friday, 09 October 2015  |  Posted By Vollers Corsets

As always corsets are in the press! 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!

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.
