Hypsipyle Leather Corset by Antiseptic Fashion

If you’re intrigued, head over to Antiseptic Fashion’s Etsy shop to see more uncommon corsets and leather bedroom accessories. Antiseptic Fashion plays with asymmetry and cutouts – two things not often seen in the corset world – which would make any of the pieces a standout addition to your lingerie collection.

Cotton brocades, and satin pieces with antique laces in contrast, pleated trimmings decorating the corsets, very feminine and sophisticated lines – I’m loving every single piece in this collection.

Overbusts

Sophia is the most popular of What Katie Did’s corsets, with a gently curved silhouette that’s neither too extreme-looking or constricting to put off corset newcomers; but with just the right amount of cinching to satisfy experienced wearers. Its curved cups ensure that A-E-cup breasts are pushed delicately upwards and together. Those who are considerably more endowed needn’t despair though, because decadent Dolly combines the same classic cut with slightly more room in the bust; perfect for those lucky ladies whose D+ cups runneth over.

These two have a naughty big sister, Laurie - an overbust style with real va-va-voom. It features the same shaped cups for perfect uplift, but with WKD’s signature gored hips, Laurie gives a fantastically well-defined waistline. It’s enough to make even Jessica Rabbit jealous!

The 18th Century-inspired Antoinette is the WKD’s newest overbust style. Its balconette bustline and innovative pointed sides mean that even the most well-upholstered needn’t fear an overspill of fulsome flesh – simply a ravishing pair of (well-supported!) heaving bosoms. With gored hips for a truly ravishing silhouette, it’s just like its antique counterpart, but considerably more comfortable.

Underbusts

Gina was the very first corset that What Katie Did designed, and it’s still a firm favourite amongst their customers. It gives a smooth and defined shape, but, like Sophia, not one that’s too extreme. The addition of the signature gores to this basic underbust created Mae. The beauty of the goring is that hips are not compressed, and waists can therefore be cinched down even further, for a very pronounced hourglass shape. Those with a large waist-hip ratio look particularly spectacular in the gored hip versions of What Katie Did’s corsets for this reason!

Wickedly tempting, Morticia is a slightly longer-line style based on the Mae shape, and the latest version to incorporate goring. The longer busk and lower hip-line ensure that shapely derrieres are shown off to their full advantage, while the waist is pulled in as tightly as desired. Morticia is so well cut and designed, that many customers find they can actually go down a size!

The newest underbust style, Baby, is a little 7” waist cincher designed to be worn under clothes. It’s directly inspired by Christian Dior’s post-war New Look fashions, and the boned waist-nippers that his models were tightly laced into to achieve that incredibly dramatic silhouette. Baby’s clever cut allows the waist to be substantially reduced, but its small size makes it incredibly comfortable.

MFC also designed two new cupped overbust designs because they have been so popular since the initial release – the cupped design supports your breasts without squishing them too far upward (a common problem with traditional overbust corsets).

The most exquisite new design is this red satin cupped longline corset with embroidered lace overly. It is completely hand beaded, sequined, and crsytallized with genuine red Swarovski rhinestones.

The brand is made up of many types of custom corsets. Marie seems to be inspired by many things including the pin-ups of the 1950s and of course the fabled boudoir of generations gone by. Most of the pieces are in sizes from 34 to 48 in cup sizes from A to E. Marie does bespoke pieces for weddings or any other uses in any sizes.

These photos are from Le Boudoir de Marie and photographer Helena Lemeunier. Since everything is made by hand, pricing reflects the amount of time that is put into each piece. The dark corset shown above is the Afrique and is €300.00. The pink corset shown below is the Cabaret and is €580.00.

These are very cute designs and TLP looks forward to a wider audience and more pieces for Le Boudoir de Marie.

Louise Black has been selling her breathtaking custom corsets (and other special high-end items) online since the year 2000 – and she’s still adding designs to her Etsy shop every once in a while, which means her spot on TLP is well-deserved if you ask me…

Below — my 3 favorite pieces from her Etsy Boutique.

Victorian Anatomical Steampunk Cameo Corset

“The lace trimmed cameo corset is a Louise Black signature item and has been around since 2004. It is constructed from 7 panels of black twill canvas. It’s reinforced with an additional layer of heavy weight canvas for even more cinching power. The entire piece is lined in a decorative cotton layer. The edges and seams are encased in bias tape & lace. This sturdy, under-bust style is more of a decorative corset (not for severe waist reduction/ training), but it will pull in your waist a couple inches and give your mid-section a waspy, hour glass appearance” link

Court Jester Circus Neck Ruff Choker

“This whimsical neck adornment is made from ruffled Victorian cotton lace backed with wide pink satin ribbon. I’ve sewn a second layer of vintage metallic lace down the center front and topped with with hand-sewn antique glass pearls. The center piece is a hand-cut tattered rose made from silk chiffon and pink/gold 20’s metallic lace. I’ve sewn an art deco brooch to the center and trimmed the flower with 20’s silver bugle bead fringe.” link

Marionette Inspired Black Silk Party Dress

The black silk dupioni was all hand pleated by Louise Black, and have been angled chevron style at each seam. The double ruffled collar has been interfaced into the neckline so it stands up high around the neck rather than flopping down (though if you prefer this look, the collar can be pushed down). It is fully lined in satin, has an invisible bottom hem, zips up at the side, and closes down the back with 30 glass ball buttons. The gathered cap sleeves are lined with black and white striped satin and the waist belt is hand beaded. link

Prices for these breathtaking unique creations are much lower than what you’d expect. For example — that corset on number one is for sale at under $150. That’s not bad, is it? Check out her complete shop right here on Etsy!

I don’t think I have to point out that these designs are unusual and definitely not for the shy! Sold internationally to high-end boutiques and online, Puimond Corsets are named after the designer, Puimond himself. Based in Los Angeles, Puimond has been making corsets professionally since 1997, and told TLP that he is “obsessed with detail.”

Every Puimond corset is made to order by a selection of style, size, and materials. The corsets themselves are made of heavy busk closures, fabrics, and leathers, and each corset is lined with imported English cotton Coutil. Puimond says that standard-sized corsets fit as well as custom or made-to-measure corsets about 90% of the time, but he also offers custom corsets, which he has made for celebrities and shows. All of his corsets are strong and sturdy enough to withstand any tightlacing routine. And as you can see from the photos above, you can get a very dramatic hourglass figure with a Puimond corset! He has also made jackets to fit over his corsets, which further emphasize a tiny waist. To see more, to purchase, or to get more information on a particular corset, visit Puimond.com.

It’s like I need convincing, but I thought they made a good point. Here goes:

1. Wearing a corset gives you a fabulous figure
   It gives you good posture, takes inches off your waist and accentuates your breasts…
2. Corsets are very versatile
   They can be worn under clothes to give the illusion of an hourglass figure or worn as outerwear for a special occasion.
3. Lots of celebrities are wearing them
   From the performing Dita von Teese and Pussycat Dolls to the more demure wearers, such as Stella McCartney and Kristin Davis.
4. They are just beautiful
   A stunning piece of craft work which you will treasure forever and that will become an essential part of your wardrobe.
5. Guys, they are the perfect gift!
   A corset is such a luxurious, meaningful item to receive — just make sure you get her waist measurement correct!
