Size Guide & Measurement Chart

How to Measure: Measure snugly around the fullest part of your bust, natural waist, and hips. This corset is designed to compress the waist by 2-4 inches for authentic corsetry effect. Choose your size based on your natural waist measurement, and refer to bust/hip ranges for overall fit confirmation.

Styling Guide: Channeling Your Inner Steampunk Visionary

The Airship Captain Look: Pair with a white or cream linen shirt, bronze or gold waistcoat, and tailored trousers. Add goggles as a headpiece and vintage pocket watch chain for authenticity.

The Romantic Rebel: Wear over a lace-trimmed black blouse or sheer burgundy top. Layer with a long faux leather skirt adorned with chains or buckles. Complete with Victorian-inspired jewelry featuring gears or watch parts.

The Festival Warrior: Combine with a leather harness, fitted black pants or skirt, and knee-high boots. Add shoulder armor or bracers for dramatic effect. This configuration dominates steampunk festivals and conventions.

The Everyday Revolutionary: Style with denim, leather jackets, or vintage band tees for a subtle steampunk edge that works in modern contexts while celebrating the aesthetic.

Care & Maintenance: Preserving Your Steampunk Investment

This corset is crafted to become more distinguished with age, developing a rich patina characteristic of steampunk aesthetics. To maintain its beauty:

• Storage: Store flat or on a wide hanger away from direct sunlight to preserve the brocade’s vibrant brown tones and prevent faux leather cracking
• Cleaning: Spot clean with a soft, damp cloth. For the brocade, use a dry brush to gently remove dust. Avoid machine washing
• Metal Hardware Care: Bronze hardware will naturally patina over time—this is intentional and adds character. To maintain shine, gently polish with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals
• Lacing System: Check satin ribbons periodically for wear. They can be replaced if needed while maintaining the original aesthetic
• Break-In Period: Like all structured corsets, expect a 5-7 wear adjustment period as the boning molds to your body for optimal comfort
