General

I need the corset sooner then the estimated turn-around time, do you do rush orders?
It all depends on our work load. Please contact us and we'll see if we can rush an order for you. Please give us a minimum of 1.5 weeks. Rush orders may incur extra fee's.

Can I choose a different combination of colours for your designer collection pieces?
There may be a limited variety of colours available for corsets in the designer collection, you can contact us about your idea and if we have what you want we will gladly switch up colours.

Can you make a fully custom corset and/or outfit for me?
We may be available for fully custom orders, please contact for more information. Custom products will cost much more then items in our standard line. Please give us at least 2 months advance notice. We do custom sizing for current products, just choose "custom" in the size option, the additional price will be applied.

I have a burlesque troupe/group order I would like to do, can we discuss a discount?
Absolutely. We are very supportive of modern day burlesque and would be happy to give discounts for group orders. Please email us with your ideas, budget, and quantities and we'll give you a quote.

I live in or will be visiting Edmonton, Alberta. Do you take personal appointments?
Yes, we sure do. We run a private studio located in the heart of downtown Edmonton that is easily accessible through the LRT. Contact us to set up an appointment. Please give us at least 3 days notice. This is not a shop setting so we do not carry a large stock of items to browse. For address and direction visit the Contact page.

Do you have a catalogue you can send me?
We do not. Because of our ever-changing stock and new items, we cannot provide an accurate catalogue to our customer. This online shop is considered our catalogue. Make sure to join the mailing list to get updates on new styles.

Why are your corsets so inexpensive/expensive?
Yes, we would get both types of questions. Our corsets are made with top quality materials and methods. Everything is made and drafted in-house and not offshore. The fit of our corsets are superior to store bought bustiers and corsets which are not made to last. Our corsets will last you years of wear. We buy our metal boning right from the manufacture to lower the costs and give our customers the best price possible.

Do you offer wholesale?
Yes, we do. To inquire please contact us through our form. Most designer collection items are made in small quantities and then retired so some styles may not be available for wholesale.

Do your corsets fit male figures?
Styles on our website are made specifically for female figures, if you are a male wanting an item on our website please contact us and we will be happy to help with your custom needs. We will be launching a 4 piece Men's collection by the end of 2010. If you would like to be notified of this please drop us an email :)

Are you looking for more models for your photos and events?
We occasionally need models for future product shoots. Just email your name, phone number, and attach a few professional photos and we will add you to our database. For sizing, we are looking for models with a waist no larger then 26"-28" with good proportions. Experience is necessary and you must have previous published work.

Can I send you a specific fabric to make a corset out of?
You may depending on what type of fabric it is. We can approve many types of fabric because the top layer is only for fashion as the bottom layer is the strength fabric. Quality of the material expected is something non-stretch and is not see-through. We may ask you to mail in a swatch for approval.

Wear/Care

Are your corsets comfortable?
Absolutely. Our corsets are drafted with comfort in mind. They do not squish at your ribs or hips and only draw in your waist. Your back will feel very supported and you sit more upright. We use flexible metal boning where it's needed most so it moves with your natural curves. After a few wears your corset will naturally mold to your body so it fits like a glove.

How do you properly lace a corset?
It will take a few tries, so be patient. There will be two outer loops in the lacing where the waist is. You start from the top of your corset, grabbing each "X" crisscross and pulling them away from your body, until the waist loops receive the access that you cinched. Then you repeat from the bottom of the corset to the waist loops. Then you pull the loops even further away from your body until you are happy with your cinch and tie it off in a bow. Access lacing can be tucked into the corset.

How do you clean a corset?
After wear, lay flat with the insides facing up to air out. Wipe clean with a little water and mild detergent or spot cleaner when needed. You can dry clean but only go to a reputable shop and tell them there are metal parts in the corset.

How do you store a corset?
It is best to store a corset in a dark and dry place. Please store only after you air out your corset. Do not hang the corset by it's laces on a hanger.
