Office Closed December 21st-January 5th
We are moving! This means our office will be closed until January 6th.
During this time, we will be moving our entire office and inventory over to our new location in California (that's about a 12 hour drive from where we are now!) As you can imagine, that makes it a little tough to run the day to day operations of French Meadows during this time.
You can still put in orders on our site, but we won't be doing any shipping or answering emails during this time. We will stop shipping any orders placed after 9am on Friday, December 20th, so we recommend getting your orders in before then. All orders placed after this time will be shipped as soon as possible after our return.
In January, we will be starting fresh in a new location with a brand new team of faeries! We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate this big transition. We're really excited for what this next phase holds for French Meadows, and we hope you are too!
Wishing you a joyful and peaceful end of the year and plenty of time for rest and reflection. We'll see you in 2025!

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.
