Steel boned underbust corsets

Underbust corsets focus on the waist. These ones can bring in your waist by four or five inches when laced tightly, and they'll also shape and carefully redistribute so you get a classic hourglass silhouette. Every corset on this page is steel boned and constructed with heavy duty busk closures and strong lacing. They're lined for comfort and made by corsetry experts.

You can choose whichever pattern or style suits your intended use, from 20s vintage through to wedding wear. It's worth being aware of the corset length in relation to your height- shorter women usually choose shorter designs and vice versa- but apart from that it's open season. All the items in this section have similar waist shaping capabilities and they're all made to the same high standards so you're free to choose whichever you think looks the best.

Steel boned underbust corsets can be added to an existing outfit if you feel that it hasn't got enough flair to match your personality, or if you feel it's not quite as flattering as it could be. With a plain day dress they're an easy way to add a touch of vintage class, and they can also be worn with pant suits. Wear an underbust corset with a dull business outfit and it won't be so dull any more- it'll look more original, more daring without being more casual or more revealing, and a lot more interesting. With a long skirt and a plain-colored top, an underbust corset makes an instant formal dress.
