Corset Size Guide For Our Steel Busk Corsets

Sizing a corset is not an exact science. Everyone's body is different and everyone wears corsets for different reasons.

A general rule of thumb is to take your actual waist size from just above your navel and subtract 3 to 4 inches from it. For example, if your actual waist measurement is 30, you should consider a size 26 corset.

If your ribcage (underbust) measurement is smaller, the same as, or only one inch larger than your waist, you will need a smaller corset. For example, a person with a 30 inch waist and ribcage measuring 29 to 31 inches will most likely need a size 24 instead of 26.

These corsets range in length according to size, and generally sit right above the hip on most people. The center front ranges from 11 - 12 inches, the side length ranges from 9 3/4 - 10 1/2 inches, the center back ranges from 12 3/4 - 13 inches, and the underbust to hip ranges from 9- 10 inches. These corsets are made individually, so measurements may vary slightly.
