The Victorian hip and bust-gore corset is cut with the same shaped pieces as the straight-seam but with bust-gores and hip gores inserted.  This controls the whole mid-section of the torso, but leaves more room in the hips and has a slight-push up effect on the bust.  It allows for greater reduction of the waist in comparison to the hips.  It can also be suitable for most periods of the Victorian era and is especially suitable for the natural form era and to wear under cuirass bodices.

Price as pictured $315

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.
