Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    should Ibuy my wedding corset one size smaller than my original size?
    at the moment my size is 14 Aus or 12/10 US UK… for my wedding should I go one size smaller when buying my corset? i have to get it online because where i live there are no places to buy one and its a 2 day boat trip to get away from here.

    • ANSWER:
      def not.. corsets are already meant to push up and tuck in, so if you get it one size smaller, tendency is you wun be able to breathe comfortably on your wedding day.

  2. QUESTION:
    Where can I find pictures of an old style corset wedding dress?
    I’m looking for a floor length wedding dress with a corset top. I have a style in my head but I don’t know how to explain it. The old west saloon girls with the corset dresses with the straps over the shoulders or down on the arms, lots of lace and satin. But not short and slutty like them! Does anyone know any web sites or where to find pictures of floor length dresses like this?

    • ANSWER:
      I think I know what you are looking for…you want like the bar wenches but not too revealing…http://www.google.com/images?um=1&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=yax&rlz=1R1GGLL_en___US377&tbs=isch%3A1&sa=1&q=corset+wench+dress&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=

      I think you might have better luck searching for Renaissance, Medieval or Victorian corset wedding dresses instead of Old West style, if you don’t want it short and sexy.

      I can’t imagine you’d be looking for something like these Old West dresses: http://www.westernemporium.com/store/ladies_oldwest_dresses.php?from=leftnav

      But rather more along the lines of these:

  3. QUESTION:
    Do I need to wear a bra with my corset wedding dress?
    I have a corset wedding dress and am a bit confused about the undergarment situation. The dress even has a modesty panel (one of those flaps of fabric that go under the lacing portion). I’m more concerned about the support – am I supposed to wear a strapless bra in addition to the corseted dress?

    • ANSWER:
      No….you don’t need cups. The corset, depending on how tight you tie it will keep the girls exactly where they belong.

      You can use the modesty piece or not. Depends on how low the corset ties.

      The corset dresses are so heavily boned you don’t have to worry about undergarments.

      There is a trick. Before they tie you in, bend over, while bent over get the grils in position and then
      hang on to the dress and the girls till they get you tied in, It works every time.

  5. QUESTION:
    Do you think strapless corset wedding gowns with big puffy bottons will be available in years to come?
    I have a problem with fitting with my breasts due to tissue being removed from one and i tried on a strappless ballgown corset wedding dress even though my wedding isnt for 3 or so more years. and i dont need a bra or anything it makes me look great so i wanted to know if they will still be available you think?

    • ANSWER:
      Of course they will still be available! And you can always start a scrapbook of what you would like your dress to be like and have it custom made. That way, you can be sure to have exactly the perfect dress that you will love! And who knows what they will come up with in the years to come! Wedding style is constantly changing. So as I suggested, I would make a wedding dress scrapbook. Good luck =)

  7. QUESTION:
    Corset Wedding Gown for an Offbeat Bride?
    I’m thinking of getting something from Uptight Clothing, But I want to look around a bit more before making a final decision.
    I am looking for a wedding dress that has a corset top.
    I don’t mind if it’s a full dress or separates.
    A splash of some other colour (black or purple) would be cool.
    Any suggestions on where to look?

    • ANSWER:
      Fairygothmother.com is a good place to get ideas.

      I was looking for similar styles and there’s really not alot out there unless you get creative and design something yourself. The ladies at http://offbeatbride.ning.com are helpful and they have a whole group dedicated to corsets and corset dresses that may give you inspiration.

  8. QUESTION:
    Where can I find colored satin cording for a corset wedding dress?
    I have a lace up style wedding dress that I’m going to be wearing for my wedding, but I want to find green cording/lacing for it to add a bit of color. I’m having no luck finding it online, unless I’m just not looking for it in the right place.

    • ANSWER:
      i would check any fabric store. i don’t know what could specifically be used for a corset but i’m sure a salesperson would be able to tell you which satin cording would be strong enough to hold the corset.

  9. QUESTION:
    Would my corset wedding gown harm my unborn baby?
    I just found out that im definitely prego prob 4 weeks along. Im supposed to be getting married in may. I’ve already got my dress and it is a corset style gown. Will I be too far along for it to be safe to wear if I can even get into it.

    • ANSWER:
      While it isn’t necessarily unsafe for you to wear a corset during pregnancy (they actually make pregnancy corsets that can help with back pain and posture issues), I’m willing to bet that you probably won’t be able to fit into your dress enough to have it laced up.

      As one poster mentioned, something loose and flowy with an empire waist would be much more comfortable and easier to fit into.

  10. QUESTION:

  11. QUESTION:
    How to lace up a corset backed wedding gown?
    My matron of honour needs to know how to lace up the back of my wedding gown. I tried to find a site, preferably with pictures, that might help but came up with nothing…can anyone help us?

    • ANSWER:
      I actually just had to do this for one of my best friends. She was married on June 6th and I was in charge of lacing the dress.

      Start at the top and get both strings equal. You need to put your hands on your hips and hold the dress in place where it will be comfortable for the day. keep your hands there the whole time as the dress is being laced.

      Have her go side to side like a shoe while make sure the string is flat not twisted.(it sounds harder thenit is) Then once its laced all the way down…start at the top again and pull the strings tight 1st one side then the other. all the way down and have her keep doing it until its tight enough and you feel comfortable in it.

      I would also have your seamstress show her how to do it.

      Hope this helps.
      Congrats!

  12. QUESTION:

  13. QUESTION:
    how do i wear a corset and lingerie under my wedding dress?
    my wedding dress is strapless and hugs the curves pretty tight i need a corset or a slim vest or something to hide the love handles. but i want lingerie for the steamy night. i want him to undress me and be surprised… but not see the other corset or slimvest hanging out of it

    • ANSWER:
      it depends on the structure of your dress – if it already has a corset the worst thing you could do is add another corset underneath it.lots of wedding dresses have boning,this will give you a good shape anyway.not just that,but some shapewear now is actually pretty sexy – gok wan has a fantastic range (although not sure if you get him where you are,which is a shame cos he really knows how to make a woman feel great)

      look for light shaping (anything stronger will cause bulges as the body is displaced) and smoothing – if you can see lines on the undergarment then it will show through your dress.if you read any bridal magazine they will tell you the same (as will any bride) – you have to compromise and wear the unsexy stuff if you want to look great

      you can buy a bustier and matching knickers or a body suit (panache are pretty good),many have strapless styles.try as many on as possible and move – jump,bend,twist.if its uncomfortable,dont buy.get a proper fitting (not a measurement,as that doesnt work).trust me on at least this part of my advice – im big busted so i have to buy very good lingerie and ive learnt several things over the years.good underwear will cost,but its very much worth it (sort of like shoes,ever heard the phrase,buy cheap,buy twice?).take a tight fitting t-shirt and wear over the top when trying on to see how much will show through.the other thing is that while tempting to get ivory or white,its better to go with nude – white shows under white (believe it or not)

      some fitting advice can be found here (and this company can be trusted,i buy my stuff from here):

  16. QUESTION:
    Corset or torsette underneath wedding dress?
    I just purchased a strapless wedding dress from David’s Bridal. It laces up the back, and I tried it on with a long line bra/torsette they provided at the time. It looked good, but didn’t feel like it had any support and I wanted to wear a corset underneath instead. I’m a C/D cup, but I wanted more push up, and the sexy feel of a corset. Any suggestions?

    • ANSWER:

  17. QUESTION:
    where can i find Wedding Dresses with buttons down the back instead of a corset?
    I am looking online at wedding dresses. i would prefer one with buttons on the back instead of a corset, but i haven’t found any. anyone know maybe a designer or a website with them? thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      Heres a website that will make any of their dresses in the type of closure that you want.

      http://www.mybigfatbeautifulwedding.com

      They make hidden zipper, lace up, hidden zipper with covered buttons or they can even make a true covered button closure. They will do this to almost any of the dresses on their website and I understand that there is no additional charge, it’s totally custom up to you.

  18. QUESTION:
    Corset or bra for flat girl to wear under wedding dress?
    I’m very flat–a small A cup. My wedding dress is strapless. I know I’m not going to have major cleveage, but I’d like something. How can I find a good corset or bra that will give me cleavage? Should I get one with some kind of mini implants in it? I want to look womanly on my big day.

    • ANSWER:
      I would suggest a convertible push up bra with a lot of padding but keep it natural. This sounds awkward but water or gel filled push up bras feel the most natural.

  19. QUESTION:
    Looking to buy a corset for under my wedding dress, wheres the best place?
    Seriously, I want something to hold everything in, not push it up…None of this spanx crap. My dress is a corset back and I want something to help with the tapered look. Thanks yall!

    • ANSWER:
      I too would recommend http://fairygothmother.co.uk/, they are very good. If you want a good corset, get a real one, not one of those bustiers from a bridal store.

      Also, since you say you don’t want to be “pushed up”, try an underbust corset. You can wear any bra you want. Be sure to read instructions for measuring yourself for a corset – it’s different than normal clothing, since the corset is meant to reduce you.

      Good luck!

  20. QUESTION:
    Can I wear black leather trousers and a red satin corset to my own wedding?
    I like the idea of this. I know my mother-in-law to-be would disapprove. But would I regret not doing the whole white wedding thing?

    • ANSWER:
      You can wear whatever you damn well please, you’re the bride.

      but do think of the future, when you’re showing your wedding photographs to your grandchildren.

      You don’t have to look like a meringue, but you might find something more timeless than black leather, more feminine than leather trousers, and more elegant than a red satin corset.

      On the other hand, it’ll be memorable.

    The alteration lady had a type of material that was fabric like with the loops already on the material. I’ve looked but have had no luck. Can anyone help me? I need this desperately for my wedding dress!

    • ANSWER:
      You need boning, a lace (long peace of satin) and the lace up eyelets which can usually be found in the bridal department at Joanns. If you can’t find it, then you can fashion your own with some satin bias tape and some cording.

      Best of luck

    • ANSWER:

  26. QUESTION:
    can a corset back be added to any wedding dress?
    I think the dress I want is Alfred Angelo 1807, or Venus 889036. I have only seen them online so far so I don’t know which one is better quality but they are very similar. Neither have a corset back and I really want one. Can a corset be added on any dress? Is Alfred Angelo or Venus better quality?

    • ANSWER:
      Can it be done? Yes…

      Is it expensive? Yes…

      Would it be better to just pick out a dress from the millions available that has all the features you want? Yes…

      As for which one is better ‘quality’… Think about this:
      You’re going to wear it for 4 hours, spill wine and sauce on it, smear frosting on it, then step on the train while you are dancing which tears a hole in it and crushes the pearl edging. Then your husband will ‘finesse’ it off of you to consummate the marriage. When you get back from the honeymoon, you’re going to have it mended at a overpriced seamstress, send it to the dry-cleaners and have it ‘boxed’, then stick it in the back of a closet until your grand kids find it and make it into a halloween costume… or sell it as a ‘vintage’ dress on ebay for … that is, if the moths don’t find it first.

  28. QUESTION:
    how corset strapless wedding gown?
    www.i2ko.com/weddings/images/dress1.jpg is the link. hopefully you can gt to it. I love this dress and i want it to be a corset because i am bigger busted but im thin. i love the ruffles. anyone have any helpful tips or patterns i could use? i have some time b4 the wedding.

    • ANSWER:
      you can get almost any wedding gown salon to add a corset top for you these days. they do it at david’s bridal for an extra charge and i know that many of the orginal gown designers will also do it for an additional charge when you order the gown. most are between 150 and 250 dollars to add in.

      if that won’t work for you, find a seamstress who knows how to work with wedding gowns and have them do it. the main problem is the exra fabric needed for the modesty panel behind the laces. you can use fabric from the length of the gown if you are shorter and having it shortened or you can try to match some fabric from the fabric store, or ask the designer or salon where you are buying it if they can get you a yard or so of extra fabric. or you could just put in a matching lace insert or use a nice satin that matched the ribbon belt.

      you can get patterns or “how to’s ” by googling “corset insert pattern”

  29. QUESTION:
    What do you think of a wedding dress with a see-through corset?
    I see a lot of brides trying on wedding gowns with see-through corsets on the show “Say Yes to the Dress.” I’m not really a conservative person but to me, having part of your wedding dress be see-though might take away from its class. These dresses seem to be really popular so I’m wondering what other people think, is it too sexy for a wedding?

    Here’s a link with some examples:

    http://www.jaksflowergirldresses.com/see_through_corset_bridal_gown.htm

    • ANSWER:
      I really don’t like it. I watch that show too and I hate the see through corsets and the mega plunging necklines. I’m the last person to act prudish, but there’s a time and a place and your wedding isn’t a night out at a club. There’s a difference between sexy and trying too hard to look sexy….and that’s the vibe those dresses give off.

      I also think those brides will look back and think “What the heck was I wearing???”

    Wedding Corset Help =)?
    I really want a steel-boned corset wedding dress or just a white steel-boned over-bust corset. I have found a few good websites (like MyFairyGothMother.com. It’s one of my favorites!) but I am having trouble finding one that doesn’t look too gothic or that will make me look like I just walked out of the bedroom.

  36. QUESTION:
    can anyone tell me whether you would be able to see a white corset and stockings under a white wedding dress?
    I have heard a lot of people say that skin colour undergarments are best to wear under a white wedding dress.. i really want to wear white becasue i think it is a bit more traditional. My dress is a few hours away so i havent had the chance to try it on with my white corset… can any brides help me? Will it show obviously?

    • ANSWER:
      It depends on the dress. Wear a white bra when you try it on and you will see. With casual clothes it is always best to wear beige of flesh colored underwear to keep from showing through white pants and skirts, but wedding dresses have so much structure, it would depend on the dress.

      With the stockings you can always switch to cream or beige if the lower part is sheer. Ultra sheer stockings will tend to show less, as they have less Lycra and are more transparent. They are also more elegant and feminine and traditional.

  38. QUESTION:
    Do you wear a corset under your wedding gown?
    for strapless gowns…

    also, what do you wear at the bottom? I want the style that is fitted, and shapes, then flares out. not reallly mermaid, but flares after mid thigh…

    • ANSWER:
      It depends on how your dress fits, how busty you are, etc. Some women need a corset to hold everything in. Some women just need a strapless bra. Other women are fine as long as the back of their gown laces up tightly.

      After you pick your gown, you’ll want to think about undergarments. Talk to the people at the bridal shop about what kind of shapewear you need. Figure out if you’ll be comfortable in a corset (honestly, they are not very comfortable. If you can go without one, I recommend it).

      The thing that makes your skirt poofy is called a crinoline. They come in different shapes and “poofinesses” depending on how your skirt fits. Some dresses have crinolines sewn in; for others, you need to purchase it separately. Any bridal store sells them.

  39. QUESTION:
    Is a size 10 wedding dress with a corset back going to fit to a size 12?
    the dress i want is a sample and its a size 10 but dont want to try it on just yet, as i am getting down to a size 12 for my big day next yr…………will it fit? As i have heard it can range from 14-18 in similar styles?Also is it easier to make bigger or smaller in alterations?
    Thankyou

    • ANSWER:
      I don’t think that it will fit.

      Formal wear is not very forgiving in sizes! They run much smaller in size then your everyday clothing.

      A size 12 in your everyday clothing is going to be more like a size 16-18 in formal wear.

      Depending on what type of fabric it is, you wont be able to let it out that many sizes, maybe 1 to 2 at the most.

      Its much easier to take a dress in then it is to let it out.

      Not everyone is able to lose the weight they intend to for one reason or another (I hope you succeed), so you need to order the dress in a size that actually FITS YOU.

    Pnina Tornai Corset Wedding Gowns?
    Ive seen the designer Pnina Tornai on that show Say Yes To The Dress, and she is an exclusive designer to them, but does anyone know of any other wedding designers that feature the same corset concept?

    Thanks :]

      Maggie Sottero does a lot of corset backs.

      Almost all wedding designers can make their dresses with a corset back. You just have to ask the bridal consultant.

  42. QUESTION:
    colored wedding dresses or corset wedding dresses?
    i always wanted a corset wedding dress but i also want a bit of color. white is a little too boring by itself.

    having it bustled would be wonderful.

    does anyone have any good websites for a preview of some gowns.
    i am not a hussie thank you very much

    hes the only guy ive ever been with.

    there is no need for name calling.
    im also a short person im only about 5’1

    and i seem to thing that a poofy dress would be cheesy on a short girl but im also very petite
    any opinions?

    • ANSWER:
      Do you want trim in color or the whole dress in color? If just trim, there are several places (like most places) for bridal dresses you can try out. If you want solid color, I found several links which I posted in a different answer if you are interested.

      Okay…you haven’t answered my questions so I’ll go ahead and post the links…these are for solid color dresses:

    I’m 5’3″, wear a pants size 20 and barely fill an A-cup. HOW and/or WHERE can I find a corset for my wedding night?! Don’t tell me to just lose weight…do you know how long it will take to be small enough to fit into a regular corset for a size A-cup? Does anyone know where I can find an affordable corset or corset-maker?

    • ANSWER:
      www.hipsandcurves.com

    a website would be good.

    • ANSWER:
      Couple of option depending what you are after.

      If you are after just a bustier style just type lingerie into google you will get plenty of hits. But for starters try

      http://www.fredericks.com/category.asp?catalog%5Fname=Holiday2002&category%5Fname=Corsets-Lingerie&Page=1

      However, if you are after a real corset try Vollers. They are a UK brand, reasonably priced (still not cheap) and have a huge range. I have a couple and love them, they are well made and durable

      US distributor

  49. QUESTION:
    Wedding dress! corset?
    Hey! I am 26 and tieing the knot soon. My fiance already found a tux but I have yet to find the perfect gown. I have no clue what kind I want. I have a pretty good body, but not perfect. I have large C cups (bra) and I do not want to totally cover them up. I was thinking about a heavily boned 21 inch corset underneath my wedding dress, so my figure is more accentuated. My waist is normally 35 inches. What kind of corset would push up my breasts?
    Here is an idea of a corset:

    What do you guys think?

    • ANSWER:
      www.crimsongypsy.com

      www.periodcorsets.com

      I would suggest “waist training” – wearing your corset or a less expensive version, for several hours a week leading up to your wedding day. That way you will be used to the restriction, and be ok to wear it all day.

      Otherwise, most people want out of it after a couple of hours.

      They should feel snug, like an all-day hug.

      To avoid the pitfall in the post above, you must wear a chemise of some kind underneath the corset. A real corset is not meant to be worn next to the skin or it will rub as it is quite stiff and supportive for large breasts.
