Corset Sizing Measurements Guide
As a general sizing guide, corsets should be ordered 4-7 inches smaller than your natural waist, depending on what your purpose is for buying a steel boned corset. For instance, if your natural waist is 32” and you plan on waist training we recommend a 26” corset. But if you plan on using your corset for fashion purposes, back support, improving your posture or as part of a costume, the corset should be 3-5” smaller than your natural waist. So, for the same 32” natural waist you could order a 28” corset. As mentioned above this is a general guide, for accurate sizing we always recommend sending in all your measurements for a proper fit. Different corsets have different shapes and are suitable for different bodies.
There are four key measurements you need to choose the right corset size/style:
- Underbust
- Waist
- Hip
- Torso Length

Corset Measurements for Women
- A – Underbust: Measure right under your breasts.
- B – Natural Waist: Measure at the smallest part of your waist usually right above your belly button.
- C – High Hip: Measure around the iliac crest, this where you low rise jeans sit. Please do not measure around your butt, that’s too low.
- D – Torso: Start with the measuring tape at the underbust, sit in a chair, and measure to the hip crease (where your leg bends at the hip when seated). Do this at each hip and use the shorter measurement, if one side is shorter.
