Description
NEW in 2020, we are now pleased to take special orders of the hourglass longline corset in any currently available colorway! Please note that these corsets are Final Sale (they cannot be exchanged or returned under normal circumstances, since they will not be able to go back into stock as a part of a regular product line). However they are still covered under the manufacturing warranty (read more below).
The longline corset is suitable for those who have a longer torso (a seated torso length of 11 inches or longer from under the breast to the top of the lap). Because of the expandable side hip ties, they are fantastic for pear-shaped clients especially (if you have a large natural hip spring). They are suitable for many plus size or full-figure corset enthusiasts as well. The lower edge of this corset does well to pull in any protruding lower tummy. These corsets have a more hourglass silhouette, so it will nip in your waist and provide a more dramatic curve compared to the ‘slim silhouette’ corsets – and they are cut This corset is also a good choice for those who have trained their waist and are able to fully close their previous Timeless Trends corset!
This corset is Timeless Trends label, and is made to the same specifications as Timeless Trends.

Measurements:
The longline underbust corsets generally accommodate ribcage ~6.5 inches larger than the waist, and hips ranging from 7-20 inches larger than the waist, due to adjustable side hip ties. For instance, a size 24″ corset would fit someone with a ribcage circumference of 28″ and hip of 31″ all the way up to 44″. As a mass-produced garment there is a natural variation in these corsets so the proportions may not be exact in every corset, although we aim for less than 0.5 inch variation.
Lengthwise, the longline underbust corsets are approximately:
13 inches long in the center front.
11 inches long at the princess seam.
11 inches long at the side seam.
13.5 inches long at the center back.
Sizing:
It is generally advised that corsets are ordered approximately 4-6 inches (10-15 cm) 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 variable fashion fabric. The fashion fabric is always fused to the interlining for strength and durability.
All longline underbust corsets contain 20 spiral steel bones and 6 flat steel bones, plus a front fastening busk and back grommets/ laces, and adjustable side hip ties.
This corset also features 6 garter tabs, and a matching modesty placket under the busk. A back modesty panel is not included, but we do have separate, boned modesty panels for separate purchase. We recommend the LONG modesty panel!
Returns and Exchanges:
This corset is Final Sale – the corset will not be accepted for exchange or 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.

I absolutely LOVE my corset! I suffer from Fibromyalgia and anxiety and I receive some relief from both of those by wearing my corset. It brings down any pain that I’m having in my back to a tolerable level. It helps to calm my anxiety to a tolerable level with the warm, comforting feeling of a tight hug or the feeling of a weighted blanket. Most appealing thing about wearing my corset though is that I feel beautiful in it and I wear it anywhere and everywhere. I get so many compliments on it!
