Steel boned corset with 18th century inspired balconette neckline.

Antoinette is one of our more dramatic overbust corsets, with a design that harks back to the 18th Century when debauchery and decadence were the order of the day; when sexuality was celebrated and cleavages were flaunted, before the 19th Century came along and everyone covered up again.

But in addition to being devastatingly saucy, Antoinette can also be highly elegant. For our Showgirl range, we've created this vision in chocolate brown and black taffeta with tactile chenille roses. It offers great support for all cup sizes thanks to the winged sides, and the gored hips ensure that those with vintage figures (a ten-inch or more difference between waist and hips) can achieve a significant reduction, whether experienced in wearing corsets or not.

Designed to suit most figures, especially those with a large waist/hip ratio.

Please allow 3-4 weeks for despatch if your corset says to order.

What Katie Did corsets are made up of several layers: base fabric: 100% cotton twill, 100% cotton lining fabric, an internal waist stay and the face (or fashion) fabric. A combination of spiral and flat steel boning is used. Two piece grommets and washers are used at the back, placed between boning, whilst all of our corsets feature a steel busk at the front.

Measurements:
* along length of busk 14.5"
* side length from under arm to waist 7.5"
* side length from waist to hip 7"

These corsets are designed to work hard and reduce your waist by up to 4 inches. Please deduct 3 to 4 inches from your normal waist measurement to work out your corset size: a natural waist of 28 inches will give a corset size of 24 inches, whilst a natural waist size of 29 inches will give a corset size of 26 inches.
