Construction

Our steel boned corsets are lined with 100% cotton twill for strength and durability. We've used precision-made high-density German steel boning - 8 spiral steel bones and 4 hard steel bones. The combination of spiral steel and hard steel has been refined over years to allow maximum movement with a great deal of "waist reduction". The front of the corset is a 12" long heavy duty steel busk (another way of saying "front fastener"). The busk is also made in Germany and specially coated to give it a longer life span and increase its strength. The steel itself is high density and provides a greater level of rigidity than other types of lighter weight busks that look the same, but aren't as strong. The back laces up with strong nylon lacing. And to add another measure of support to the brilliant construction, there's an optional "modesty panel" , so on the off chance you decide not to expose too much skin under the lacings it can be pulled out and over the fastenings for a little more coverage. We love to see the curves of a beautiful back but we also know that you love to have options, so you can choose: to cover...or not to cover. Our corsets also features six sewn-in garter loops made for wide-width garters, and two sewn-in loops at the top for detachable halter straps. The halter straps and garter straps are not included, but may be purchased separately, along with thigh-high stockings, petticoats or bloomers.
