Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the correct size of corset?
Fitting a corset is a matter for experts; when you order a corset, we ask you for your bust, waist and hip measurements;
PLEASE GIVE YOUR ACTUAL MEASUREMENTS, NOT THE DESIRED ONES. We then assess the correct size, taking into account your figure and the style of corset chosen. Usually a corset approximately 4 inches/10 cm. smaller than your natural waist size will be made and sent to you.
 
Will My Corset Be Comfortable?
A correctly fitted corset should fit snugly all over, without being uncomfortably tight; if you wish to reduce your waist, lace your corset slightly tighter each time you wear it. If you are wanting to use your corset for waits training you must let us know this at the time of ordering as this will affect the size of the corset that we make for you.
 
How should I care for my corset
A corset should last a long time, provided it is properly cared for; ensure your corset is not too small for you, do not overtighten (unless used for waist training) it and have it professionally dry cleaned. Leather corsets should only be cleaned by a leather specialist. If you wear your corset on a regular basis, it is a good idea to put something underneath, such as a T shirt, vest or camisole, which will protect the corset and save on frequent dry cleaning.
 
Will I require help putting my corset on
It is easier with someone to help, but perfectly possible to do it on your own; see Corset Instructions HERE.
 
Are the suspenders detachable?
All the suspenders you see on the corsets on the website are permanently attached and are not detachable. However, we are able to offer detachable narrow (18mm wide) suspenders as a special request on most styles, please make your selection on the corset pages. We cannot offer our wide (28mm wide) suspenders as a detachable option.
 
Can I have extra suspenders added?
Yes, to all styles please order them on the product page.
 
Is whalebone still used?
Whalebone has not been used for many years. Nowadays steel spiral boning is used to stiffen corsets.
 
Can I contact you
Please contact us here and we can call you back at a convienient time. Please specify a good time.
 
How soon after ordering will my corset be sent?
Most orders are dispatched within 72 hours of receipt; if your corset requires more attention this may delay matters for a couple more days. Most customers recieve their orders within 7 days.
 
You should also be aware that your own country's Customs may impose import duty. For further information, see our Shipping Information
 
Will I have to pay import duty if I live outside the UK?
Quite possibly; check with your local Customs office.
 
Do you make larger sizes and what are the largest measurements a corset will fit?
Please see the Plus Size section where the largest sizes are 34 inches when fully closed and can be suitable for a natural waist of 40 inches. PLUS SIZE CORSETS
 
I do not have a credit card, how else can I pay?
UK customers can pay by cheque or postal order, made payable to Corsets-Lingerie & Bridal UK.
 
I do not want to give my card details over the internet, what should I do?
Contact us on the email address and specify a good time for us to contact you. One of our sales team will phone you at a suitable time and can take payment from you over the phone,

We also make BRIDAL CORSETS & BASQUES FOR YOU SPECIAL DAY

Consider how and where you
want to wear your corset - the decorated
ones are fine for bedroom wear and
dressing up but if you want to put a
corset under everyday clothes, choose
a plain style which will not show
through as much.

 
2. WHICH SIZE ?
 
Leave us to choose
the correct size for you.
 
When ordering your corset,
it is important that
you do not give the size of the corset
you want, but your actual, uncorsetted
measurements (in inches).
 
We need 3 Measurements.
 
1. Waist Size - in inches " (not too tight)
2. Your normal CUP size (check your bra's)
3. Your normal UK Dress Size
 
Then thats it !! Thats all we need. Easy as that !
