Sizing Guide
Sizing Information
Our recommended sizing may be different for each item. Please refer to the size chart on the product page for finding your correct size in that item.
Taking Your Measurements
- Wear a well-fitting bra: Ideally, wear a non-padded bra or no bra if that’s how you’ll wear the clothing you’re measuring for. This gives a more accurate measurement of your natural bust size.
- Use a soft measuring tape: It’s best to use a flexible cloth or plastic measuring tape for body measurements. Make sure the tape is not stretched out or damaged.
- Stand tall and relaxed: Stand with your back straight but relaxed, with your arms at your sides. Keep a natural posture.
- Take your bust measurement: Wrap the measuring tape around your back, bringing it across the fullest part of your bust, typically over the nipples. Make sure the tape is snug but not too tight, and it should sit level all the way around.
- Take your waist measurement: Wrap the measuring tape around the natural waistline, ensuring it’s level all the way around your body (parallel to the ground). The tape should be snug but not tight—just enough to rest comfortably against your skin without pinching.
- Check the measurement: The number where the tape meets itself is your measurement. Make sure it is measured in inches or centimeters, depending on the sizing system you use.
- Take the measurement with a mirror or friend: If possible, use a mirror to ensure the tape is straight across your back and not twisted, or ask a friend to help for a more accurate result.
Choosing the Right Size Corset or Stays
When choosing the right size corset, it’s important to start with accurate body measurements, including your bust and waist. Our size charts provide recommended measurements for each size, so begin by selecting the size that most closely matches your measurements.
If your bust and waist measurements fall into different size categories, prioritize the waist size first. If your bust is smaller or larger than the recommended size, you can adjust the fit using a chemise or shift underneath for added fullness, or by loosening or tightening the lacing to accommodate your bust more comfortably.
For those with a larger bust, you may need to tighten the corset more in the bust to close the lacing gap, and/or you may have a wider lacing gap than in the waist. Conversely, if you have a smaller bust, you can pad with period-appropriate methods like additional layers or bust inserts.
Ultimately, it’s about finding the balance between a snug, supportive waist fit and comfortable bust shaping. If you’re between sizes, it's usually best to size based on your waist and adjust the rest with lacing or layering techniques.
When selecting stays or a corset, experienced wearers may want to size down for a tighter fit. Typically, we recommend finding a corset or stays that is:
- 2-3 inches smaller than your bust for a relaxed fit
- 4-5 inches smaller for a snug fit
- 5-6 inches smaller for the most snug, cleavage-enhancing fit
However, achieving this level of bust reduction might not always be possible depending on your waist size. If your bust doesn’t match the waist size you select, you can use padding or layering to enhance the bust area for added shape.
For the waist measurement, we suggest:
- About 1 inch smaller than your waist for a relaxed fit
- 2-3 inches smaller for a standard fit
- 4-6 inches smaller for the most snug fit
Keep in mind, the width of the lacing gap at the front and/or back of your stays will also change depending on how small the corset is and how tightly you lace it. Consider how big you’d like that gap to be when picking your size. The recommendations above are based on having little to no lacing gap in the back, so if you'd like more of a gap in the back, you could size down even smaller.
Other considerations:
- Please remember that every body compresses differently, so we can't guarantee an exact fit. To ensure the best results, follow our sizing recommendations on the size chart.
- Larger body measurements are typically are able to squish more than smaller measurements
- If you're planning on changing weight, select a size that fits more in the middle (standard fit). If your measurements increase/decrease, you can utilize the lacing gap to increase/decrease the size of your corset up to 4 inches (back lacing styles only)

The product arrived on time, even a little early, and the quality is good.
This belt is sturdy and looks great. I think I'll use this for a lot of different ren fair outfits!
Of the four items purchased, this was the one with the least flaws. While there was uneven stitching amongst the rows of ruffles, it was not as noticeable as the 2 skirts. Unfortunately, the disappointment/upset at the 3 other items has really soured my experience at what was one of my longtime favorite brands. First and last purchase for me here, definitely.
Incredibly disappointed in the materials used for this skirt - at nearly $90, I should not be able to see through it. The uneven hem + ruffle edge is insult upon insult. I am so saddened that this will be my first & last purchase despite being a fan of the brand for many years.
I truly struggled with writing this review (sat on it for a few days to ascertain my thoughts). I've said this before in the blouse review but this will be my first & last time purchasing at FrenchMeadows. For $80, the linen fabric that was used was incredibly coarse & still somehow see through under lighting. I've been a long time admirer of the brand but now I see I probably purchased these items too late, as I can see now that the production has been sent overseas. I am incredibly disappointed.
I really wanted to love the first purchase I made, but I was incredibly disappointed with the quality of material & construction. I understand that quality control can be difficult to maintain at a high level, but for nearly $60 I would not expect loose threads and uneven hems. Reading a bit more, I now understand FrenchMeadows has sent their production out to a foreign factory for shipment but it is still very disappointing for a longtime fan, first & definitely last time purchase.
It is nice but if you want as long as the video you want the 72 inches. My mistake lol.
These bloomers look amazing! They fit well and are even better quality than I expected. Highly recommend!
This belt pouch is so cute! High quality and looks more expensive than it was. Perfect for my renaissance faire costume :)
Item arrived quickly and in good condition. Feels a bit plasticy, but it's vegan leather and looks like the real thing. Excellent for the price.
Just so beautiful, thoughtfully packaged, handmade, and just a perfect fit. Can't praise highly enough. Can't believe how much more one can spend than this on Target-tier crap. My package went on a very odd voyage across the country which is not the seller's fault... tough times at USPS.

I'm working on getting a Ren faire costume together for a faire coming later this year. The skirt fit really well and was lightweight but made of good material. And it has pockets! Plus I love the green color. I'll definitely be buying a few more things from here as I get a costume fully put together.
Arrived quickly and looks great with my outfit
Could have sized down but it fits well, is easy to put on, and is so cute
Color is gorgeous and it fits very comfortably
Absolutely gorgeous and comfortable. Arrived so quickly
Amazing quality and the color is beautiful!
Amazing as always, this seller has excellent handmade items!
My daughter loves it! She’s very happy
Love this set so much!
Love this set so much!
The skirt is made and fits beautifully, but the color is MUCH darker than the pictures show. I was expecting a lighter mauve, but what I received was a darker, more brown looking mauve. Not bad, it's just not what I was looking for, I'll have to use it for something else
Using this as a base layer for my wedding dress and I'm very excited! It's absolutely beautiful and just my style. My one thing is the elastic on the arms is quite tight, I'm a midsize girly and I just think that could be more forgiving. But great otherwise!
