Shaping Corselette (Body Briefer)
A good corselette or body briefer is an essential part of every well stocked lingerie drawer. They instantly smooth out any lumps and bumps giving an extremely smooth line under fitted dresses.
Our corselette has been designed with a hook and eye front fastening which although unusual today, was quite a common feature in body briefers of the 1950s. This is one corselette you can put on without breaking into a sweat!
The really unique feature of our Glamour Corselette is the addition of an elastic waist tape that will add definition to your waistline. Finally, let’s not forget the 6 metal suspender / garter clips to keep your stockings secure. Who says you can't have it all?
Our Glamour Corselette is primarily sized by bra size but your body measurements need to be considered too which means you might need to sister size. Bra sizes roughly co-ordinate with the following WKD dress sizes:
Band Size | UK Dress Size | US Dress Size |
32 Band | UK 8-10 | US 4-6 |
34 Band | UK 12 | US 8 |
36 Band | UK 14 | US 10 |
38 Band | UK 16-18 | US 12-14 |
The length of our 1950s corselette is approximately 13” / 33 cm long from the bottom of the cup (underbust) to bottom of the garment, and 15.5” / 39 cm long at the back-centre.
The main body of our body briefer is corsetry powermesh which is made from powermesh 88% polyamide, 12% Spandex, the satin tummy panel is 100% polyester while the sheer panels are 100% nylon.
It features 6 attached, none adjustable, metal clip suspenders so does have to be worn with stockings.
It’s made ethically in our main lingerie factory in India.
