Corset Sizing
Our corsets are sized from 0 to 20. You can determine your size based on your dress size and waist measurement. For the most part, you will want to order a size smaller than you would buy when purchasing an item of women's clothing in a department store (sometimes two sizes, depending on you "squish-ability factor" and how tight you like to wear your corset). That combined with knowing your actual waist measurement (NOT jean size), you can make an educated guess at what size to order. It is always best to try one on, but we realize it is not always possible to visit us at a faire or con. Feel free to call or email if you are concerned about what size to order. If you do end up ordering the wrong size, it is not a problem, exchanges for size are always available.
