If you are a fan of vintage, burlesque or pin-up style you will love an underbust corset.

An underbust corset is generally worn under a dress and can help achieve a smooth silhouette and pull in your waist.  This style is popular with brides under their gown as it generally has a lower back than a traditional overbust corset.  The underbust corset will sit under the bust and wrap around your waist.

Underbust corsets are available in many fabrics including leather, jacquard, satin and may include buckles and studs or lace trim.  We recommend a steel boned style as it will be a more sturdy construction.  However, there are many styles that also come in soft boning.

 

An underbust corset is a popular choice for steampunk and burlesque fashion and is worn over a dress or top.  Same applies to burlesque, whether you are a risqué performer or looking for an alluring outfit for a romantic evening then the options are endless.

When selecting your correct size, please make sure you order a corset that is smaller than your waist.  You will have the ability to adjust the fit by the lace up back and a quality underbust corset will include a back modesty panel.  This is a layer of fabric between the garment and your skin.  However, if your not a fan of the modesty panel you can tuck it in and show off your skin, this is particularly common for those who might want to show off their tattoos.
