Where to Buy Corset Dresses
This post is a duplicate of the permanent pageGuided Galleries–>Corset Dresses. The guided galleries are part of the corset brand research tools, which are designed to help prospective corset customers shop more wisely. This post may be out of date in the future, please refer to the permanent page linked above to get the most up to date information.
Corset dresses are highly specialized garments, which can be used for foundation under other dresses (such as those that Puimond provides for other designers to “build uponâ€), for weddings, or for clubbing / other fun events. They can act like combination shapewear, supporting the bustline and allowing the use of strapless dresses overtop (rather than using a strapless bra), cinching in the waist (instead of using a cincher), and smoothing over the hips (in lieu of a girdle).
Searching “corset dresses†on Google tends to yield poor results because many clothing lines simply offer dresses with boned bodices. True corset dresses (a structured garment where the back of the dress laces up the entire length) are sometimes not that easy to find, but they come in several variations which I’ll try to cover in this gallery.
*Corset makers, if you have made a corset dress and would like your work showcased in this gallery, pleaseemail mea photo of your best work and include a 1-sentence description and website or shop URL. Safe-for-work photos are preferred! Thank Katie's YouTube page !
*Please note that I have not personally tried every corset brand in this list, nor do I necessarily endorse every company on this list. This is for informational purposes only.
Interview with Mina LaFleur of L’Atelier de LaFleur!
Last week, I travelled to Toronto to visit withMina LaFleur, Canada’s Burlesque sweetheart/ pin-up model, and corsetiere ofL’Atelier de LaFleur! Katie Peachesa agreed to an interview for my channel, and I asked her a bit about her past notable work (including her experience as a costume maker for Cirque du Soleil!) and she also shares some tips and advice for budding corsetieres.
Use the following time frame to jump to your question of interest:
0:30 What came first, the Burlesque career or the sewing career?
1:30 Mina’s experience making costumes for Cirque du Soleil and Thierry Mugler
5:45 Mina’s reflections as a former judge on reality TV show “ReVampedâ€
7:50 How Mina’s work stands out as a corsetiere
10:25 What equipment and tools Mina uses in her work
12:05 Mina’s advice for budding corset makers
Huge thanks to Mina for allowing me to come to her studio, try on her corsets, and agreeing to the interview!
