Extra details for corset repairs

Corset Repair Details

Your Lux Tenebrae corset is built to last, but when it needs care, our Repair Angel has you covered. Email us with any issue—we’ll sort it.

Non-Lux Corset Repairs

We often fix corsets others won’t. Common issues:

1. Sheared Busk Button

    • Cause: Not loosening laces enough before unbuttoning, overloading one button.
    • Fix: New busk, from £99 + postage.

 

2. Boning Poking Out

 

    • Cause: Cheap, sharp metal strips in imported corsets wear through quickly.
    • Fix: Replace with proper corset boning, from £85 + postage.

3. Eyelets Pulling Out

    • Cause: Weak stiffening lets eyelets shift and detach.
    • Fix: Free minor fixes during servicing; full eyelet refit (reinforced with new grommets), £99 + postage.

4. Size Issues

    • Too Big: Reduce size (e.g., remove middle section), from £99 + postage.
    • Too Small: Add an eyelet extension panel, £129 + postage.

 

 

Other Alterations
  • Rate: £42/hour (min. 1 hour, then half-hourly) + postage

After assessing your item, our Repair Angel will confirm costs. We won’t start work without your approval.

Testimonials

Hi Jules, Received it today, you've done a fantastic job! Thank you so much it's just what I wanted. I have a few corsets that are too long in the same way, it's annoying because they fit everywhere else, (what comes of being short ha ha) so I may well be back for more, if that's ok with you. Think the next one I buy I'll get made to measure, though saying that the one you have just done has cost approximately £100 inc alterations which is good. Thanks for the extras and the lightning speed service too, much appreciated. Best wishes
