Meet the OC Team
Did you know that Orchard Corset's a small business? We're proud to employ a small team where each person is a valued and important member. Read on to learn more about our awesome team!
Rachel
COO
Rachel Enjoys: I enjoy binge-watching TV shows and going to movies with great friends and good food. I won’t say no to a glass of nice wine or a hard cider every now and then, either!
I’m a lifelong cat lady and currently have three: Rory, Purrcy, and Celia. I am an avid reader of all kinds of books and read as often as I can. My preferred vacation spot is Maui. I love the sun, beaches, and ocean breezes!
Favorite Orchard Corset Product: My absolute favorite is the Satin Romantic Curve Standard Underbust CS-411 Corset. I have way too many of them to pick just one color or print, though I do especially like my first corset, which is black satin, and my old limited edition galaxy print. I like the CS-411 best because it's got a great level of curve for my shape so it just hugs everything perfectly and the length gives me great torso coverage while still allowing me the freedom of movement I need to get things done.
Wendy
CEO/CMO
Wendy Enjoys: When I’m not working I’m planning on playing! I have two boys that are out of the house, my husband, and two dogs. They keep me active and on my toes! We spend most of our summers camping, hiking, kayaking and hanging out with friends...in the winter we snowshoe and ski.
I love the seasons in the Pacific Northwest and look for almost any excuse to just get outside. When I need a little R&R, I sneak away with my hunny for the weekend or getaway with girlfriends on wine tasting adventures or to the beach. I love the balance between my OC family and home, and have the best team and job in the world!
Favorite Orchard Corset Product: I was new to corseting when I joined the OC team and at the time our Hourglass Curve Waspie CS-201 Underbust Corset was a little more gentle in shape. I grew attached to a black lace CS-201 and it is still by far my best fitting corset!
Now, when I’m looking to add a new corset to my wardrobe the Modern Curve Waspie CS-301 is my go-to. Even though I'm almost 5'8", I have a VERY short torso with almost no room between my ribs and hip bones. This short corset fits me like a full length underbust and I wear it when I want to lose a little weight and at my desk for back support or when I’m just feeling the need for a hug!
Krista
Shipping Manager, Customer Service Team Member & Sizing Expert
Krista Says: I have been with OC since 2018 and I can honestly say it's my favorite job EVER. I think it's also safe to say that I'm not the quietest gal in the office. ;) I don't take things too seriously, and always happy to bring some shenanigans to my days at work. Scaring the gals in the office is definitely a huge highlight to my day!
When I'm not at the office, I am with my fam! The kids, hubs, and I love camping and being outdoors! My husband and I LOVE cooking, so on the weekends there's usually some new recipe we just "have to try". Watching football games during football season is a must at our house. Football Sundays are for mimosas and yummy appetizers ;)
Favorite Orchard Corset Product: My favorite is the Hourglass Curve Standard Underbust Corset CS-426 in black mesh! It's super comfy, and very versatile. Always running warm, the mesh is the best option for me. Black goes with everything, so that's a given ;)
Amanda
Customer Service Supervisor, Sizing Expert
Amanda Enjoys: Exploring! Whether it's a new place, a different experience or just a new movie.
Favorite Orchard Corset Product:It's hard to pick a favorite. I only own the ones I love (my corsets have their own closet at home). I suppose perhaps the 345 for fashion and the 426 standard length for a tight/curvy cinch. ; )
Amalia
Social Media Coordinator
Amalia Says: I am thrilled to be a part of the Orchard Corset team! I have worked in social media management for more years, focusing on brand recognition and fostering open communication between company and audience.
When I am not working, I spend most of my time with my Corgi, Kevin and DMing, writing and crafting for my Dungeons and Dragons groups. I always have a project going and am most content when my craft area is in total chaos. I love rich colors and value unique creativity.
Favorite Orchard Corset Product: I adore the CS-426 mesh hourglass curve standard underbust corset. While I don't have as much corseting experience as the rest of the team, I love the versatility that our mesh corsets offer across various genres of fashion, from a social media perspective. From elegant gothic styles against robust architecture, to bright pastels in fields of flowers..they always contribute to striking images that catch the eye. The CS-426 also fits my own body the most comfortably.
