Tip: Measure right at your bra line. Make sure you measure parallel to the ground.
Tip: Measure where you bend side to side. Usually about 1" above your belly button.
Tip: Measure at or just below your hip bone. Just above where you bend when you sit.
Tip: Sit in a chair, place the measuring tape centered under your breast and extend the tape to the top of your thigh. Be sure to sit straight. (video).
A general corset sizing guideline is as follows: If your natural waist (where you bend side to side) is under 38” select a corset 4-7 inches smaller than your natural waist. If your natural waist is over 38” select a corset 7-10 inches smaller than your natural waist.
As a rule of thumb, we have our customers order 4-7 inches below their natural waist size. So if you have a 29″ waist, you would order a size 24 corset.
Corsets come in a variety of different sizes and levels of "curve" to fit a variety of body types and styles. These articles will give you an overview of the types of corsets available, and which might fit your body and personal style the best.
