Black Cotton Hourglass Corset

Description

The Black Cotton Hourglass Underbust Corset can go with Gothic, Renaissance, Pirate, and Steampunk costuming as well as everyday alternative wear. Wear with a chemise, long skirt, and pixie skirt for a Renaissance faire outfit; layer over a dress for a Medieval or Fantasy look; wear with a shirt and layered pixie skirts for a Pirate style; or wear with a high-collared shirt and bustle skirt for a Steampunk look!

The black cotton twill is sturdy, durable, and looks great with casual looks or with your festival wear. At the hips, this corset is laced with black satin ribbon while the back is laced with a soft flat black shoestring lacing. This corset is comfortable and supportive, with 20 flexible spiral steel bones, a steel busk with two flat steel stays for extra front support, and four flat steel stays to support the back grommets. Constructed with three layers of fabric: two inner layers of sturdy cotton twill, waist tape, and the black cotton twill outer layer. There are four garter loops (no straps included) attached at the inside bottom seam. Hourglass underbust corsets have a rounder, more contoured underbust line than that of the classic underbust corsets.

The hourglass silhouette has a 6.5″ rib spring and 10″ hip spring when the hip ties are closed.

Our steel-boned corsets are intended to be worn with a one inch gap or more between the laces after cinching.
