Description
Beige cotton slim overbust corset. A beautiful and affordable choice for back and bust support in a breathable, natural fiber, and in a neutral shade that goes well under clothing. Comes with a stiffened, floating modesty panel.
Overbust corsets are available in 10 waist sizes and three bust sizes, for a total combination of 30 different sizes!
Because of the expandable side hip ties, they are fantastic for pear-shaped clients especially (if you have a dramatic natural hip spring). The low edge of this corset also does well to pull in any protruding lower tummy, and the sweetheart bustline will push up, support and accentuate the bosom.
This corset is Black Iris label, and is made to the same specifications as all other Timeless Trends corsets.

Measurements:
The overbust corsets come in three different bust sizes. Please double check your full bust circumference in inches, and don’t go solely by your cup size, since “sister sizes” may come into play here!
Bust size Small is ~6 inches larger than the corseted waist circumference.
Bust size Medium is ~8 inches larger than the corseted waist circumference.
Bust size Large is ~10 inches larger than the corseted waist, and up to 12 inches in the larger sizes (above ~ 34″ corseted waist).
For all of these corsets, the hips range from 8-16 inches larger than the waist, due to adjustable side hip ties.
For instance, a size 24M overbust corset would fit someone with a full bust circumference of 32-33″ and an adjustable hip of 32″ – 40″ due to the expandable side hip ties. However, as a mass-produced garment there is a natural variation in these corsets so the proportions may not be exact in every corset.
Lengthwise, the overbust corsets are approximately:
14 inches long in the center front.
15 inches long at the princess seam.
12 inches long at the side seam.
14 inches long at the center back.
Sizing:
It is generally advised that corsets are ordered approximately 4 inches (10cm) smaller than your natural waist – however if you would like to have your size verified before purchase, you may fill out the measurement form on this page. Please note that this sizing guide is only for the corsets sold on this website, and is not intended to replace a consultation (where external brands are discussed freely).
Contents:
This corset contains two core layers of cotton twill, and a fashion fabric of a simple, elegant white satin.
The fashion fabric is always fully fused to the twill, which adds strength and prevents bubbling or wrinkling – creating a smooth line on the body.
All overbust corsets contain 18 spiral steel bones and 6 flat steel bones, plus a front fastening busk and back grommets/ laces.

Returns and Exchanges:
You have a full 30 days from the purchase date to “try out” the corset and you can return or exchange it as long as the corset does not have any stains, scents, or obvious signs of wear. Just fill out the exchange form, ship it back and I’ll give you a full refund (minus shipping; USPS takes that). Lucy Corsetry does not charge any restocking fee! After the 30 days are over, the corset will not be accepted for refund, but it is still under warranty for life – some wear is normal, but if something prematurely breaks from normal use, your corset is still eligible for exchange. Please see our TOS and Policies for more information.

Where to begin, such a beautiful corset and comfortable fit for this chunky lass. The hip lacing has changed my shape entirely and given me curves that I have never experienced on my own body. And Lucy! what a lovely human to interact with and to help get the right fit and shape. When I am next looking for clothing, I will certainly be headed back here!

I purchased this corset last September and absolutely love it! It’s really made a difference on shoulder stress, especially with working remotely, and provides excellent support while assisting with posture.
I’m still adjusting to the visibility of the corset under some clothes, but even that diminishes daily and is a personal preference. This is the first corset I’ve purchased from Lucy and I have to say the quality is all I could have hoped for. Add this to the personal service and this won’t be the last corset I purchase from Lucy.

I purchased this corset 2 months ago and wear it almost daily. I purchased it as a support garment without the intention of waist training and I have been very pleased! It is very sturdy in its construction and, which gives plenty of support. Though it really needs patience in the seasoning. Once you have taken the time to season this corset it it much more comfortable to wear and easier to put on. It is somewhat difficult to stealth under normal clothing, but layers and structured fabrics help. Wearing this corset while spending the day on my feet or cleaning my house has helped save me from injury due to poor posture and lack of muscle after having several kids. I also really appreciate Lucy’s direct help in finding a corset that suited my needs and size!

I love this corset. It is very well made and it fits me well. Lucy directed me to this corset instead of the one that I had been originally planning to purchase and I am so grateful that I listened to her advise! It seasoned well and the ribbon ties are still holding strong from when I purchased in September! The cotton is breathable, and the hip ties are helpful to make sure that it fits flush!
