Made To Measure
Silk Bow Basque
This whimsical bridal corset transforms a symphony of silks into wearable art. Made using pearlescent ivory dupion and adorned with hand-crafted bows and flounces that sit delicately around the straps and neckline, introducing a depth of textures through chiffon and georgette.
The V-shaped hem elongates the torso, whilst the boned bodice provides a structure that lifts and supports the bust, reminiscent of 18th-century stays. Featuring a lace up back fastening with raw silk ribbon and modesty panel.
Fabric composition: 100% Silk, lined in 100% Cotton
Made in the UK
While our standard service uses the silk dupion shown in the photos, this add-on offers a curated selection of premium silk dupion swatches sent directly to you—perfect for brides wanting a truly unique piece.
Please note: If you don't select this add-on, your piece will be crafted using the beautiful silk dupion featured in our listing images.

the sample service
About
All of our bridal corsets come with our signature sample service.
We use your measurements as our starting point to create a cotton toile (fitting sample) of your corset. From this foundation, we fine-tune the fit specifically to your body, ensuring your final piece is absolutely perfect.
In-Person Fittings: If you can travel to our Kent studio, we welcome you for an in-person toile fitting.
Remote Fittings: We can ship your toile for you to try at home, offering this service completely remotely. Once you've tried on your sample, simply photograph yourself wearing the piece from the front, back, and sides, plus any close-ups or videos of specific areas you'd like us to focus on. From these images, we can discuss any adjustments needed to perfect your fit.
