Measurement Tutorial
Each of our corsets are custom made from the measurements that are given to us by the client. We are happy to do in-person fittings if you are in the Toronto area, but if you aren't you can send us your measurements online.
Here is an in-depth tutorial of the measuring process you will be asked to fill out when you customoze your corset.
