Testimonials

Lovely feedback from customers

Bodies don’t come in standard sizes, but luckily, “standard size” corsets no longer require your body to conform to modern beauty standards in order to achieve a beautiful fit.

I’ve spent 12 years designing corset silhouettes for previously neglected body types. Here’s what folks have shared after getting sizing help (especially those who’ve struggled to find a corset that fit before).

Part 1: “Hard-to-Fit” body types

Heavy bust, short torso, barrel ribs, or wide hips… your body is never the problem, only the clothing. The following testimonials were taken from real reviews in my shop, from customers who previously had poor experiences with other corsets.

Large bust, small frame

I have an uncommon size, exceptionally large bust for my frame and have really struggled over many years to find functional, comfortable support wear (bras, etc) with little success. This corset is the first such piece of clothing I’ve ever truly fitted, without being between sizes or having awkward loose then tight spots.

Ri B.Hourglass Overbust
Big hip spring, small rib spring

I had a hard time fitting the corset because of my large hip spring and small rib spring, but she suggested a size that I wouldn’t have thought would work, and it was great!

Kaitie G.Beige Cotton Hourglass Overbust
Large bust, short torso

I’m very happy with how this corset fits. I have a large bust and a short torso, which have made it difficult to find a good fit in the past. […] It’s also the most comfortable corset I’ve owned, with the best range of motion I’ve had. Getting a personal recommendation for sizing really helped.

KateBeige Cotton Hourglass Overbust
Equal ribs & hips

I had been trying to find a corset with equal rib and hip measurements but the only ones I could find usually had a 1-2″ spring. I’m so glad I found this corset and it’s even better that Lucy is super nice :) Lucy was very quickly able to help me and recommended this corset to me to fit my measurements. It came and it fits me perfectly!

OliLibra Corset
Large bust, small waist

It’s the first overbust corset I’ve been able to get since I have a large bust and a small waist. […] And Lucy went above and beyond with helping with sizing and just being an amazing business owner in general! ♡♡♡

RoryBlack Cashmere Hourglass Overbust
Wide ribcage, small hips

Today my Libby Corset arrived and I am so happy. It fits! […] now I see the corsets I wear before were just fashion. I had to lace all corsets in a V and never get a waist reduction. Size 28″ fits perfect and the reduction is in my waistline. Seems I have a small torso, the Libby ends directly under the bust and is long enough to cover my hips, but I can sit comfortable. Thank you Lucy!

Nicole M.Black Cotton Libby Corset
Full bust, wide hip bones

I have macromastia and have very large breasts (UK NN cup), so this overbust is more like a demibust, but I love it! […] my hip bones are very wide and this corset accommodates them at the right place (more dorsally than others). The most personal customer service with Lucy. Highly recommend!

Busty and SupportedBlack Cashmere Hourglass Overbust
Hip asymmetry

Lucy was spot on with her recommendations, I’m so happy with my corset, it’s so beautiful and the hip ties are perfect for accommodating my asymmetry.

AshleyHourglass Black Floral Brocade Longline
Full bust

Beautifully made and the fit is perfect if you follow the instructions for measuring. I ordered a 26L. I’m a UK bra size 30GG and I’m 100% comfortable wearing this corset braless which is NOT something I ever thought possible.

Jo S.Beige Cotton Hourglass Overbust
Scoliosis, asymmetry & wide hips

I’m a corset newbie and her videos and instructions were instrumental for ending up with a corset I am actually comfortable with; despite scoliosis and other back anomalies. […] The lacings on the hips are a life saver and make lacing up the waist quite comfortable, despite my wide hips.

Monika E.Black Cashmere Slim Overbust
Small ribs, wide hips

The Gemini Round Rib is the underbust that has been eluding me for over a decade. […] Thanks Lucy for amazing fit suggestions that ensure an excellent corset match to our needs.

Margaret M.Gemini Round Rib Longline
Super curvy

This curvy overbust is amazing. My measurements are 48 – 40 – 53. […] Lucy herself is amazing, and went out of her way to have a couple personal email exchanges with me to make sure I got exactly the right corset for me.

DeAnnaBeige Cotton Hourglass Overbust
Tall, larger waist, smaller bust
[…] as a very tall gal with a wide waist and comparatively small boobs, I was able to get a corset that fit me very well in all areas, which was quite nice! Highly recommend.

Jade N.Black Cashmere Slim Overbust
Full bust, wide hips

This is honestly the most comfortable off-the-rack overbust corset I’ve ever tried. […] Lucy was incredibly helpful with sizing -offering me two consecutively sized options based on my measurements. I’m 46-38-50, and I tried both the 34S and the 32S. I have a large chest, but proportionally larger hips.

Sara M.Black Cashmere Hourglass Overbust
Tall & long waisted

I am tall 5′ 10″ & have a belly c-section & where I carry my weight. This corset smooths and keeps everything in place. […] I highly recommend this for stealthers & tall women!

Katy P.Jolie GC Black Cotton Longline
Prominent & sensitive hip bones

My hip bones are quite prominent and can bruise easily, but the more convex shape around the hip area gives me more space. […] I’m very happy with my purchase, this was the perfect corset for me!

Tianna C.UFR Black Fine Mesh No Line Taper Corset
Hips!

This is my highest reduction and best fitting corset, by far. Thank goodness for an OTR corset for us humans with HIPS! Will be ordering more soon! Lucy is a corset expert and will always point you in the right direction.

Felicia M.Gemini Round Rib
Short torso

The Artemis is shorter than many other OTR models I’ve seen, which is great for those with shorter torsos like myself. […] Lucy was fantastic to work with. She provided very detailed recommendations based on my measurements.

J.TC Artemis Beige Cotton Corset
Long torso

The front point goes pretty far down, which is why I bought this corset, as I couldn’t find a long line, which went as low as I wanted, as I have a long torso.

JessGemini Conical Rib Longline

Lucy is incredible. Her customer service is unparalleled. She goes above and beyond every step of the way to make sure you have a corset that will fit you properly and that you will be happy with.

Part 2: Holding your Hand in the Fitting Process

It is natural to be apprehensive about buying a corset online. (The difference of 2 inches anywhere on the body can potentially put you into a different size or silhouette!) The good news is there is almost nothing I haven’t heard before. Wide fluctuations, unique proportions, life changes… I’m here for all of it. Read testimonials from my clients below who felt the same as you!

Worried to confident

I was hesitant to buy a corset because I was worried about spending a lot of money for a cheap or ill-fitted product, but after consulting with Lucy I was confident that the corset would fit me perfectly!

GwenBlack Cashmere Hourglass Overbust
Multiple options

This was one of the three that Lucy recommended after I gave her my measurements and she was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful! Definitely recommend having her help you with sizing before ordering.

KristinGemini Conical Rib, Black Cashmere
Changed mind

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 advice!

Laura S.Beige Cotton Slim Overbust
Personalized recs

This is my second corset purchased from Lucy corsetry, and both times her recommendations were incredibly helpful, informative and honest. Shopping for a corset can be daunting but I really appreciate the personalized shopping experience you can’t really find much online!

VictoriaJolie GC Black Cotton Waspie
Communication

I’ve had a few corsets but never one as well made and fitting as this. […] Superb communication, useful info and way faster delivery than expected. Superb!

Naomi P.Emerald Overbust Corset, Hourglass Silhouette
First corset (almost 60!)

As a first time corset buyer and wearer I used Lucy’s online measuring guide and questionnaire. I had no idea where to start. She emailed me and advised me to purchase this corset based on my measurements & needs. […] I am almost 60 & wearing the corset under my clothing gave me such confidence and a real boost to my self esteem.

Katy P.White Satin Slim Longline

Thank you Lucy for all your hard work and providing educational tutorials on Youtube and creating a safe space for discussion/culture of modern-day corseting for women of all ages, shapes, and sizes.
