Why A Leather Corset should be Made To Measure
If you want a corset to look perfectly effortless on your body, then for 99% of us it has to be a made-to-measure, custom, bespoke corset.
A perfectly fitting corset is exactly the same size as your bust and hip, at the perfect distance up and down from your waist, whether that's 2 inches or 8.
You have to be free to decide the waist reduction you want.
If the corset has in built 'bra cups' like our Aria or Scoop, the cups also have to be at the perfect height and the perfect volume.
Our bodies differ by as much as six inches in length between waist and
bust, and a factory manufacturer can't accommodate this kind of range. So, an off-the-peg corset
from a shop usually fits poorly and will feel restrictive,
with aches and pains where the bones cut in to you, and all sorts of strange
wrinkles and bulges where skin spills over the top and bottom edges. Mass manufactured corsets are made with patterns that are at best a guess at a womans body proportions. In reality, we are all different, and waist size has no bearing on the bust size, hip size or body length.
Because we care about our reputation, we take the time to make a new pattern everytime, so a Lux Tenebrae made to measure leather corset is wonderfully comfortable
to wear, giving a lovely feeling of support as it hugs your every contour.
You can spot a made to measure corset by the beautifully parallel back
lacing gap, and the way it sits against the skin on the top and bottom
edge, at the front the bust has the perfect level of support at the right
height giving a truly delicious decolletage.
If you look at the picture of our bespoke Lux Mars
leather corset below, you can see it fits perfectly, just touching
the skin on the top and bottom edge whilst giving a four inch waist reduction,
and this can only be achieved with a made to measure corset. It wasn't
just luck that the Mars Leather corset fitted our model so beautifully in this picture, we made it that way.
Each Lux item is always handmade, allowing us to customise even the smallest
detail and take into account your particular measurements. We are able
to customise every item that we make, and we take the same care and pride
in even the smallest briefest item of lingerie as we do an entire wedding
trousseau. We are proud of our flexibility in method, and will always
work with you to get a perfect fit.
