Corset sizing information
What Katie did corsets come in even waist sizes (22", 24", 26" etc). To determine your corset size take 3 to 4 inches from your normal waist measurement. If you have a natural waist measurement of 28", then your corset size will be 24". If you have a natural waist measurement of 29" then your corset size will be 26".
All of What Katie did corsets feature a busk front (front opening) and laced back.
Do not try to put on a corset without loosening the lacing at the back as it will be too small. To try on your corset don't undo the lacing at the back, simply untie the bow in the middle and 'jimmy' the corset apart. You can then put the corset on like a belt. If it doesn't fit simply 'jimmy' the back ties a little further apart.
Once the corset is on. Pull the centre loops of the back ties gently but firmly to tighten the corset. If the corset is a longer style you might need a little help to tighten the top and bottom of the corset but with practise will be able to do it alone.
The corset shouldn't close completely and easily on the first try. If it does, it's probably too big! Once you've worn your corset a few times you'll be able to gradually lace tighter so both sides meet at the back giving you a perfect fit.
When taking a corset off always loosen the lacing first. If you try to take the corset off without loosening the lacing you will damage the busk front.
Angelic Weapons corsets are measured in waist sizes and are designed to take between 2-4 inches off of your waist. The size you are ordering is the cinched waist size not your personal waist measurements.
To ensure you order the correct size, please measure your waist, if you get an even number for example 28inch take off 4 inches and order a 24inch waist corset. If you get an odd number for example 29inch take off 3 inches and order a 26inch waist corset.
The cup size for all the corsets increase gradually as the size increases, if when ordering you can write in the additional information on the order form your bra size, we will make this slight alteration for you for free to ensure that your corset encases your breasts rather than either gaping or crushing them.For further information please call us on 0845 602 2231 or email us
If you are already tight lacing and require more taking off than our standard range please contact us direct.
