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)

Customer Reviews
I love this skirt. I got it a couple weeks ago, and I’ve already worn it to the Ren Faire and to a normal dinner out. It’s also part of my Halloween (hobbit) costume this year. She does it all!! The sizing is also very true to size. I wear an L in most running shorts and such, but the M of this fits me very well based on my waist measurement. I already ordered another color.
I absolutely love this skirt and had great time wearing it to a Fantasy in the Forest Art Show, it got lots of compliments! The pockets are definitely one of my favourite things about it.
Fit: I am 5’2”, and my waist is 30 inches. I bought a size small, and it fits nice and snug. If you have similar measurements and prefer some wiggle room/a looser fit, I would recommend a size medium.
I was on the fence for a few weeks about ordering since I was going to order a few things so my order was going to be expensive but I’m SO GLAD I DID! The skirt fits PERFECTLY and the elastic on the back of the waistband is so stretchy and comfortable. I love the deep pockets, the fabric is such a high quality linen, and all the stitching is so well done. You can tell it was handmade my someone who really knows what they’re doing. All of the seams and stitches are finished so perfectly. Shipping was so fast, I’m in Canada and it took three days! I can’t wait to buy again!!!
I got the skirt with a white chemise and I have worn it as many times as I could in a week. The skirt was a little loose but I’m still happy with the size!
If you have issues with 2xl not being true to size at other places rest assured that this is a true to size fit. I am normally an xl and out of habit I got a 2xl. I decided to stick with 2xl this time due to time restraint but the extra room is nice! I didnt realize that it had pockets so that was a nice surprise too! Shipping is insanely fast, I got ready to ship items and I was so surprised at the turn around date. Quality is perfect and I cannot wait to make more purchases.
Couldn't pass up this color.
One problem I had was the colour was black when advertised as brown, but beautiful otherwise.
Perfect bag to store your phone when you aren't wearing a dress with pockets
Arrived promptly and exactly as described, material is soft and the garment is well structured. It is definitely sheer but I was planning to layer it under things anyway.

This was the second cape I ordered, which I did pretty quickly after my first one got here because I love it so much. Perfect length and not too hot or heavy.
