Corset Brands by Price Range
Shop corsets by budget!
On Youtube, I have several corset review playlists which are organized in chronological order because that seems to make the most sense – my reviews aren’t all equal; they’ve evolved over time and they’re easier to understand if you watch the oldest ones first.
But when people are looking for a corset within their budget, I understand that my reviews can be difficult to sift through. So I’m saving you time by organizing all the corset brands I’ve tried in order of the average price range of their underbust corsets, and then alphabetical order within that range. (You should expect overbust corsets to cost more than underbusts.)
Where it’s written (standard underbusts) – this implies that custom measured, special fabrics, and other options may require price markups that put the corset over and above that price range. When looking at corsets by budget only, it’s important to realize that by and large, you get what you pay for.
Don’t see what you’re looking for? It means I have not tried or reviewed the corset yet.
Please note that the order of these do not represent my preferences in any way – if you need help deciding, check out the other resources in my Corset Shopping Guide, or try my corset consultation service.

Greetings Lucy!
May I just say you are very well spoken and warm on the videos. You are easy to watch and very good at getting straight to the point of the purpose of the video while being playful and friendly. You seem like a very approachable person with a vast wealth of knowledge. I am in the medical field and you were right on target with explaining some of the medical issues with wearing a corset. I especially appreciate the disclaimer, everyone is different and should seek medical advise before trying anything extreme, like waist training.
With that said, I am very interested in waist training and being able to wear a corset daily; a custom corset. I am not a seamstress and cannot easily make one myself. I do have discretionary income, although I tend to be a bargain hunter.
Would you please contact me and let me know how to begin this process with you as the corset maker. I saw the “paper doll” design function and need to measure myself. I am open to color, but like you mentioned the training corset comes in black or beige, so I am wondering if that is still the best starting point.
Thank you very much! ;o) Please enjoy an Outstanding day!
Thank you for your comment, Veronica! I’m glad that you’ve found my site and videos informative. :) Unfortunately at this time, my schedule does not allow me to take new commissions, but if you email me (bishonenrancher (at) gmail(dot)com, let me know your budget and I would be happy to recommend you to other very talented and capable corset makers who are open for new work and would be able to take care of you. Best wishes!
‘Ello Miss Lucy!
I was looking for some fan (Camp) laced corsets and someone pointed me in the direction of jillscorsets on etsy.
I wasn’t sure if you were familiar with her work, but it looks lovely and worth checking into.
The corsets I’ve seen up for sale were under $300 and completely custom.
Hi Sarah, thanks for your comment – I haven’t tried Jill Hoverman’s corsets but know of a couple people who have, with happy results. Unfortunately I won’t have the resources to invest in one of her pieces for the next little while – otherwise she would be on this list. This particular list is comprised of the corsetieres that I’ve worked with. However, Jill is already on the Corsetiere Map as that directory has all the bespoke corsetieres I know of, whether I’ve worked with them or not. :)
Have you tried Butterfly Frillies corsets yet? Yuly Springer specializes in Steampunk corsets. She makes the popular “Tab” corset and men’s corsets. Her corsets start around $250.
Hi Ida, no I haven’t tried Butterfly Frillies yet. She and I have already been in touch and she is already on the Corsetiere Map, but this particular list is dedicated to the corsetieres that I have personally worked with. I would theoretically love to be able to try every corsetiere out there, but I have recently invested in a different maker (local to me) and I don’t have the financial means to try Butterfly Frillies for the time being. Thanks for your comment though
There is also a small company called “Scoundrelle’s Keep” you could add to your list.
Hi Shandra, this particular list is a collection of corset brands that I’ve personally tried – Scoundrelle’s Keep isn’t on this list because I haven’t personally tried or reviewed their corsets. However, Scoundrelle’s Keep is already on the Corsetiere Map / directory, so hasn’t been completely ignored. :) Cheers!
I’m so excited that you are doing reviews for true corset! I’ve bought both of my corsets from them and they’re simply beautiful for such an unbelievable price.
Yes, I will be uploading the reviews hopefully before the end of the summer! :) Thanks Meris!
Hi, I’m a plus size woman with a 42-38-45 measurement and I want to start wearing corsets, however I’m looking for a starter one thats inexpensive. Which of the “under $100” would you suggest?
Hi Lenora, both Orchard Corset and Timeless Trends have limited refund/return policies so you can try it and if you don’t like how it looks or feels, send it back. Both of them have corsets in your size as well. I might also suggest Ms Martha’s Corset Shoppe which is one price category up, but she has close-out/ sale corsets for as low as $50 sometimes.
Hi Lucy! First off, excellent work! I was so ecstatic to find your site about a month ago! I’ve been going through a number of your videos to get a sense of how you are ranking corset brands and I have the general idea that most companies you have explored are fairly decent with a few exceptions. I am wondering if you would elaborate on which OTR brands you find particularly well crafted (fit is so subjective which is why I wanted to stay away from fit alone) for the price. You have done such an excellent job with categorizing corsets/brands according to price however I’m wondering if you would be able to suggest “best quality/craftsmanship” per price category.
Hi Sandra, the quality can be viewed as somewhat subjective as well, as I prefer my corsets to be made from coutil but some other corsetieres will exclusively use canvas or twill in their corsets. In my videos, I take care to mention important points like what’s used as the strength layer, how large the flange of the grommets are, whether the busk is 1/2″ or 1″, how many bones there are, whether a waist tape is used etc. so each viewer will be able to make their own conclusions based on their individual wants or needs.
I know your so so so very busy and please take your time to answer im not in a rush. Are you still selling timeless trends/black iris. If your not directly selling them anymore do you still have a list of your selections posted any place? Thanks very much.
Hi Katherine, I am still a distributor but my shop is down for the moment. Unfortunately I don’t sell any other place on the internet. But if you are interested in a certain design you are free to email me because I can still put in orders manually.
Hi there love your youtube videos you are the best in the field and so knowledgeable. I was wondering if you you might be able to guide me to a corset website that also handles short waisted people in the under bust style? I have a very short waist and want to begin corset training. Please let me know if you will be back doing corsets as well I was really sad to see that, that was not available for now. Thank you so much I wish you much success you deserve it! :)
Hi there, there are many places that sell cinchers but not necessarily strong enough for training. What Katie Did has the baby cincher which is very short (7 inches) but not designed for waist training necessarily. If you’re on the small side, Morgana Femme Couture has cinchers up to a corseted waist of 24″. SugarKitty has short cinchers as well. Both Leatherotics and Axfords I believe have belt-like corsets which don’t have much curve but are short nonetheless. :)
Thank you for the response :D
I have a large waist which is a 29-30 which is large for me as I have always been a 24 inch waist. However I am very short waisted I will look into Morgana Femme Couture..
The website I was looking at said they are designed for waist training/tight lacing what should I be on the look out for? Most of the corsets are for under 100.00 and come in many fabrics. I was tempted but I just don’t know if they will do the job here is the description:
Busk Opening Front 100 % SS Spring Steel. If you twist them at 180 Degree they snap back. Invisible waist tape. Busk option, Metal Busk. Waist training corsets has 20 spiral steel bonning and 4 Flat steel bones at the back to keep your back straight. Lining 100% cotton Twill. All corsets have 4 layers of fabric Laces. 6 suspender loops Grommets.
What do you think is this a good purchase? thank you!
Some corsets with a core of twill can do the job, but might not last as long as corsets with a strength layer of coutil. I would probably have to see the corset because the shape very much matters, and also certain brands are notorious for having grommets pull out. If you’d like more help can you send me an email? I like to keep the permanent pages as clutter-free as possible for ease of reading for future visitors. :)
I just had to pop in and say I am still watching and reading your bloggs. I love how you have made it so easy for us to get a review in the price range that suits our pockets.
You have really made this you tube channel a must stop for anyone who wants to buy a corsette (from first time buyer to a steady buyer).
Congrats to an awesome channel and Thank you for all the dedication and hours ect you have put in to this.
Still love my corsette you made
Jennyxo
Thank you so much Jenny! And I’m super glad that you still enjoy the corset I made for you. :D I hope you’re doing well! When the weather gets nice maybe we can get together again and catch up; I’m sure a lot has happened!
Hello Lucy,
I hadn’t seen your corsets in the list before, does this mean that the golden line is going to be between 300-400 dlls?
Hi May, no my own corsets on this list are when I’m offering my own bespoke service, which is still on hiatus. The Golden Line is a partnership between Fran Blanche and myself, and will be priced around $500 for the entire kit (corset, liners and consultation).
