Corsets

For sale are three steel-boned corsets:

22" black silk satin overbust by Puimond, $250
23.5" black pinstripe underbust by Volancia, $225
25" underbust (with bust-coverage), $125

All three were new when I bought then, and unfortunately I haven't worn any more than a handful of times....

A note about the photos: corsets always skew leftward on me. That's my own asymetry, not the corsets'!


Black silk satin Puimond overbust




Waist: 22"
Bust: 30"
Hip: 28" (3" below waist)
Waist to armpit: 7"
Front: 13"
Back: 13"

Other features: Attached modesty panel in matching fabric.

This is Puimond's Plunge (http://www.puimond.com/py06.htm) style, but with a busk 1" longer than the standard plunge.

Puimond has a name for excellent corset design and construction, and this is no exception.


Pinstripe high-backed underbust by Volancia


(This corset is laced rather loosely on me, in the past when I have laced it all the way there has been no wrinkling at the hip)

Waist: 23.5"
Hip: 34"
Underbust: 28.5"
Waist to hip at side: 6"
Waist to underbust at side: 4"
Front: 12"
Back: 15"

Other features: Removable boned modesty panel (in matching pinstripe fabric), removable halter strap.

I cannot remember exactly the fabrics used in construction, but I believe it was cotton coutil with suiting fabric outer and a cotton lining, and twill waist tape. This corset was designed with a 5" waist reduction in mind, so it is constructed quite sturdily.

Red & Black rose underbust



Waist: 25"
Hip: 32"
Waist to hip at side: 5"
Waist to top at side: 7"
Underbust: 29"
Measurement across bust (approximate, it's hard to measure): 32"
Front: 12.5"
Back: 14"

Features: Sturdy front zipper, attached black modesty panel in the back. But because of zipper should obviously not be used for drastic waist reductions.

For buyers outside of Toronto: please add $25 for packing & postage.
