How to Measure for Perfect Fit
Follow these guidelines for accurate measurements:
- Waist: Measure at your natural waist (narrowest point) without pulling the tape too tight. Wear the corset at approximately the same position.
- Hip: Measure around the fullest part of your hips, typically 7–8 inches below your waist. This ensures the corset’s lower edge sits comfortably.
- Corset Length: Measure from your shoulder at the front to the base of your ribcage to determine ideal corset height.
- Tip: Wear a thin layer while measuring for consistency with how you’ll wear the corset.
Care & Maintenance
Preserve your gothic corset’s elegance through proper care:
- Cleaning: Hand wash in cool water with mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners that may degrade the lace trim.
- Drying: Air dry flat or hanging. Never machine dry, as high heat may compromise the polyester and metal eyelets.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use a corset hanger or lay flat to maintain structural integrity.
- Lace Maintenance: Gently brush dried lace trim to restore texture. For stubborn wrinkles, use a low-heat iron with a protective cloth barrier.
- Metal Eyelet Care: Occasionally wipe metal eyelets with a soft cloth to prevent oxidation and maintain their luster.
Note: Fit may vary depending on construction, materials, and individual body shape. These size charts are provided as reference. Actual colors may appear slightly different depending on screen settings and ambient lighting. For best results, compare your measurements with the fitting guide rather than relying solely on size designations.
