Clair de Lune corset

£ 542

The Clair de Lune overbust is a dramatic, waist-cinching corset created with real steel boning, shaped to nip in your waist and emphasize an hourglass shape. Its exterior features 100% silk faille in black and blush pink, delicate French leavers lace overlays, and dramatic steel boning and shaping to show off those curves! It’s heavily inspired by Edwardian corsetry, although this piece is cut to fit the modern woman’s body.

Who would believe a corset could change your shape so much and still feel so comfortable? Please note that this corset is now made with nickel (silver) hardware, not black. Dry clean only. Made in England. Models wear size S.

See "More Information" below for sizing advice and to learn about our construction methods, including our use of steel boning, sturdy English coutil, and reinforced grommets. Our corsets all ship with lacing and care instructions.

All of our corsets are handmade with these high-quality features:

  • Real steel boning (18 to 30 pieces, depending on style.)
  • English coutil lining and a waist tape, guaranteed not to stretch.
  • A metal busk closure at the front, allowing for easy dressing, and featuring an under-busk flap to protect your skin.*
  • Reinforced metal grommets at the back, with built-in modesty placket to prevent chafing.*
  • Long lacing strings to give you size flexibility, and for easy dressing.
  • Hand-cut silk or grosgrain ribbon binding for a durable edge finish.
  • Dramatic shaping throughout the waist and high hip. These are much curvier than the bustiers at your local department store!

    The waist measurements listed are the actual corset size at the waist, not your waist measurement. Our corsets should be up to 4" smaller than your natural waist for beginners or up to 6" smaller for more experienced corset wearers. All corsets should be worn with a 1-2" gap at the back.

    For examples and detailed measurement instructions, learn how to choose your corset size.

    Our overbust style corsets are best suited for a B or C cup size. (D cups will generally fit as well, but you'll get an extra push-up effect.) For larger cup sizes, you may want to choose an underbust corset and pair it with a bra.

    Additional notes:

    • Bra size: Our bralettes are best suited to a B/C cup size, although many customers who wear A or D cups are also happy with the fit. If you wear a larger cup size, you may be prefer our custom size options or our bespoke DD+ bras.
    • *Sizes XL and XXL are currently available in limited styles whilst we work on a size expansion. View our current selections here: XL and XXL
    • If you fall in between sizes, we recommend selecting the larger size (except for silk ruffle panties, which have adjustable ties), especially for lounge wear. You'll want a bit of wearing ease for movement.
