L4071 Mae Corset

 

Steel boned underbust corset with gored hips for a 'burlesque' corset shape.

Mae was our first corset to feature gored hips. The shape falls somewhere between Morticia and Gina: it's not quite as extremely curvy as the former, but slightly more so than the latter; with a longer-line busk.

The beauty of the goring is that the waist be cinched down as tightly as you like, with very little compression of the hips; resulting in a very pronounced hourglass shape.

Those with a large waist-hip ratio look particularly spectacular in Mae, as with all our gored hip designs. Unlike Morticia though, Mae is designed to suit most body shapes, and can help create a more wasp-waisted silhouette for modern figures.

Mae should be in stock in black, but in the unlikely event of your size being sold out, the delay will be no more than a few days. other colours are available to order, please allow 3-4 weeks for delivery.

* Moderate curve, deduct 3-4 inches from your waist to determine your Mae corset size
* Heavyweight satin with cotton twill lining
* Modesty panel
* Stainless steel busk front opening
* Back laced
* Combination of 12 flat and spiral steel bones
* Each corset is made by hand by one corsetier from start to finish
* Specialist dry clean

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:
* length along front busk 11.5"
* length from underarm to waist 4.75"
* length from waist to bottom 6.5"

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.

Designed to suit most body shapes.

Please allow 3 - 4 weeks, plus shipping time, for 'To Order' items

Reviews

I had read a lot of great reviews about all of the WKD-corsets on various vintage blogs, and Mae kept popping up most of the lot. I'd worn and loved wearing corsets before, but didn't think that it would be so wildly different from other types that I'd tried. Let me tell you right away: I was wrong. I'm still able to lace into a pretty noticeable hourglass (especially compared to my fairly straight natural waist), but because it's an underbust it's still comfortable after many hours of sitting, standing and dancing. It is also very easy to do up, again largely in part to being an underbust, and the hip gores are a godsend for a hippy girl! I'm already eyeing the other corsets covetously, not to mention the lingerie and all the other pretty things...

I love love love Mae! This is my favourite underbust corset. It is so comfortable to wear for 8-9 hours a day & really gives a great hourglass shape. Sits really well over clothes to be shown off, but also wears really well under clothes as it goes quite invisable.

Lulu W, 11 Dec 2012

I love this corset especially because it doesn't give an extremely dramatic figure which is great for beginners, but it still goes over the hips and has hip gores so you can cinch as much on your waist as you please without any pressure on your hips, which is a great relief!
