The sensational Cabaret Velvet Morticia has all the bewitchingly curvy cut of our incredibly popular underbust corset, with classic deco detailing and gorgeously tactile velvet overboning over black or ruby red satin colourways.

We've also added the effective, diamond-shaped waistband, also in luxurious velvet, that creates the mirage of an impossibly tiny midriff. Carefully cut, gored hips, a longer busk and lower line allow for a really significant reduction in those with vintage figures – a 10 inch or greater difference between waist and hip measurements.

Many experienced corset wearers will find they take a size smaller than usual in this style, but corset newcomers are often pleasantly surprised with the reduction they can achieve.

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 13.25"
* underbust to hip 10.75"
* side length from underarm to waist 6.75"
* side length from waist to bottom 5.25"

These corsets are designed to work hard and reduce your waist by up to 5 inches. Please deduct 4 to 5 inches from your normal waist measurement to work out your corset size: a natural waist of 29 inches will give a corset size of 24 inches, whilst a natural waist size of 30 inches will give a corset size of 26 inches.

Several experienced corset wearers have purchased a size smaller than they normally do. Most suited to vintage figures with a waist 10 inches (or more) smaller than the hip.
