Corset Measurements

No two bodies are the same, so why should your corset be? At Ma Corsetière, we are dedicated to providing the highest quality of garments made uniquely for you. Because the fit of a corset is so important, all Ma Corsetière corsets are made to measure and are custom to your body measurements. Please refer to the diagrams to get general measurements for your body. 

Please do note: Ma Corsetière recommends using a professional to take your measurements. We do not recommend taking your own measurements.

Some tips for measuring:

• Take your measurements during the morning and before any large meals. Do not take your measurements after a large meal or at nighttime.
• Use a soft measuring tape – one that can wrap around your body with ease.
• Double check that you are measuring in inches, not centimeters.
• Take all measurements two or three times to ensure accuracy and prevent mistakes.
• If you have large breasts that need a bit of extra support, measure your bust measurements with a soft, unpadded bra on. (Do not measure with a bra that will add any bulk to your measurement)

 

Below is a diagram of some of the measurements required for a Ma Corsetière bespoke corset. These are to help get an idea of general sizing. After placing your order, Ma Corsetière will be in touch with you via email with our measurements contract. This contract walks you thoroughly through each measurement as well as tips and rules to get each measurement. Please reach out with any questions.
