Custom Fit Corsets under $200

Last updated on February 13th, 2023 at 08:06 pm

While many clients can get away with standard-sized corsets, it’s not a realistic case of one-size-fits-all. What if you’re very tall, very short-waisted, or very pear-shaped? What if you 100% know that no OTR will fit you correctly, but you’re still looking for an inexpensive gateway corset that will fit you properly? Here are a few makers that offer custom, semi-custom, and made-to-measure corsets for $200 or less.

Update: Please note that a few corsets are a smidge above the $200 USD mark. I originally made this gallery in 2013; due to inflation alone, this would convert to $227 USD now in 2021. However, for the sake of those on a strict budget, I have tried to keep all corsets in this list under $220.

*Caveat emptor: In many cases, you get what you pay for. These corsets are made-to-measure, but this does not necessarily imply that all corsets in this list are suitable for waist training/ daily wear. Many fledgling corsetieres will also underprice their work to practice their skills, build their client base quickly, and gain a foothold in the industry — but in many situations, these prices are not sustainable to the maker — for this reason, this gallery is especially subject to change; it’s the nature of business that as demand rises for a product, prices increase as well.

  1. Hi Lucy, I’m from New Zealand, and just starting with my interest in corsets and their uses and benefits. Your website and YouTube have been really helpful. How would I go about ordering a corset?

    1. Hi Tara, my apologies for the late response! If you’d like something from my this list, simply click on any of the photos in the gallery and it will redirect you to that maker’s website, where you can learn more, ask questions, and start a commission. If you’d rather start with an OTR corset for the cheaper price and exchange/return perks, then the best place to start is by submitting your measurements here, and I’d be happy to suggest which corset in my shop will fit you best! https://lucycorsetry.com/measurements/

  2. Hi Lucy I am a plus sized gal in need of an underbust corset with a zipper in front in lieu of busks, I don’t have anyone to assist in lacing on a regular basis and outward appearance of the corset isn’t a huge issue as It’ll be worn with a light top or tee over it. A zipper front with a short flap under it ought to make it a bit easier to get myself into it. Any idea whom I could contact and not break the bank? Love all these corsets shown. Thank you kindly for your assistance

    1. Hi Sammi, I have some OTR corsets that can be ordered with a zipper if you’re interested. You can contact me with your measurements here and I’ll let you know if anything fits. If you prefer a custom corset with a zipper, I have a different gallery on specifically zippered corsets here (however they are all at different price points).
