The Victorian bust-gore corset is cut with the same shaped pieces as the straight-seam but with bust-gores inserted.  This gives more definition of the rib-cage for larger busted people and more definition of the bust for the smaller-busted.  It also has a push-up effect for all body types.  It can also be suitable for most periods of the Victorian era, but is more appropriate for the middle Victorian period.

Good fabric choices for this corset are cotton coutil, cotton sateen, satin, brocade, silk dupioni or some types of linen.  Not all of those are suitable for a period-correct corset, but I can advise on the best period fabrics for corsets if that is a concern for you.  Choices such as brocaded or satin coutil, silk satin or silk brocade are going to cost extra (please see the price list below).

Extras can include lace or flossing, or extra-wide or gold studded busks.  If you want some decoration on your corset that is not described here please email me for a quote.

Shipping and handling (including shipping insurance) is $14 for the 48 continuous US states.  Illinois residents must pay 9% sales tax.  I will ship worldwide - please email me for a quote.
