If you are new to corsets, sizing your corset can be quite confusing. We get lots of questions in Customer Service about which size to choose, which style may be suitable for your shape and which measurements are required.

Our team are here to help every step of your Corset Story journey. Lets first talk about measuring.

The majority of the tension in a corset will be running through the waist, this makes the waist an extremely important measurement when sizing a corset. Traditional corsets are fully adjustable across the bust, waist & hips. Once you have the correct size corset for your waist, it is easy to tension or loosen the bust & hip regions for the perfect fit.

1.Measuring your Waist
You can find your waistline by tipping your torso to one side, when you do this a fold will appear. This is where your waist is, usually just above the belly button.

2. Measuring your Bust
You should measure your bust at the fullest part and not under the bust at the bra line.
If you need to wear a bra when measuring, we recommend a non-padded bra. If you can obtain an accurate measurement without a bra, then this would be ideal.

3. Measuring your Hip
To locate where to measure your hip, lift your leg when standing and feel with your finger where the bone articulates into the pelvis. It is close to the fullest part of your hip and the tape measure should go around the top of your bottom. Do not measure your high hip.
