crazy about corsets

ever since seeing old style films like titanic, antoinette and romeo & juliet, i've been crazy for corsets! i've wanted one for so long but couldn't find any styles that were reasonably priced, tight enough, or looked appropriate anywhere else than a fancy dress masquerade ball.
well, i have finally found a brilliant little store online, who make exquisitely designed, custom and ready-to-wear corsetry!
not only does meschantes corsetry make beautiful high fashion couture corsets, but they make them in the style you want, to fit your exact measurements, and with your choice of a vast selection of colours and fabrics!
here are the ones on my wish-list!

i'm in love with this modernised weskit halter corset! aren't you? i could see myself wearing this everyday! only question is.. black or grey?

next, the etoile under-bust. i love the lacey look, but a plain black taffeta fabric would go nicely over most modern outfits!

and finally the contessa or 'sweetheart' over-bust. need i say more?


the corsets range from 18"- 44" waist sizes, and also have specialised cincher options for tight-lacers!
meschantes corsetry also have an ebay store with cheaper ready-to-wear garments!

  1. Corsets on women make me question my sexuality haha, and I'm not ashamed to say that. They are so effeminate and sexy. Oh if only we were to have grown up in the corset era!
