Plus Size Corsets

Plus Size Corsets: A Corset for Every Body Type

We often get asked if we sell plus size corsets — the answer is yes! We currently carry corsets in sizes up to 4X,  and we are working on expanding that in the future.

Which style of corset works best for a plus size figure?

We get asked this question a lot, and our answer is always — it depends! The best corset for you depends on what shape you’re ultimately trying to achieve. For plus size figures, each corset will look differently depending on how your body is built. Be sure to check out our guide to the different types of corsets to learn more. 

 

I’ve worn corsets before and my body is very squishy. What size should I pick?

Some bodies have a greater amount of what we call “squish-factor.” That means that your body is, well, more squishy!

This is great for corsetry because it means you can easily create a more dramatic corseted shape without harming your body and without being uncomfortable. If you’ve worn corsets before and you know that your body has a greater amount of squish-factor, we recommend sizing down a size. If you already own another corset and know the waist measurement on that -- check out the column in the size chart titled "corset measurements," and choose the size which has the closest waist measurement to the corset you already own. 

For more information on sizing, check out our size guide.

Example Photos

The photos below feature model Elena wearing the same corset in 3 different sizes: L, XL, and 2X. Elena's measurements are 42" bust and 36" waist, and she typically wears a size XL.

Size XL

  • Front View

    This is Elena's recommended size based off of our size charts. In this size, she is able to comfortably close the corset all the way if she wants a more cinched in feeling, or she can leave the lacing with a slight gap if she desires that look, though the fit will not be as tight.

  • Back View

    As you can see, there is not a very dramatic lacing gap in either the front or back, but the corset is snug and still helps Elena achieve a proper corseted silhouette.

Size L

  • Front View

    This is one size down from Elena's recommended size based off of our size charts. In this size, she is able to get the corset very tight while still keeping a lacing gap in the front and back.

  • Back View

    Sizing down one size is a great option if you want to have a noticable lacing gap, or if you are planning on losing weight. Elena could even size down an additional size to a size M if she wanted a larger lacing gap.

Size 2X

  • Front View

    This is one size up from Elena's recommended size based off of our size charts. In this size, she is able to close the lacing gap all the way without having to tighten it too much.

  • Back View

    This is a great option if you are hesistant about wearing a tight garment and just want to get a "corseted look" without tightenting.

Other Considerations

Be aware that as you size up or down, the length of the corset and the length of the straps will increase/decrease by 1/4 inch for each size. Elena has a short torso, and you can see that as she sizes up to the 2X, the straps become a little bit loose on her, and the waistline starts to curl up a bit. These issues will not have a great effect on the wearability of the corset but are worth considering if you have a short torso.
