Pair it with a pair of jeans and boots, or slip it over a colorful dress for a statement. Whether you wear it under or over your clothes, comfort and style is mere button-clicks away.
This corset is constructed in our most popular hourglass shape as an overbust, available in three cup sizes to fit your body. This silhouette has a higher back for comfort and support with a built in modesty panel. The front bust lacing provides for additional flexibility for fit and exposure to provide you with the comfort and curves you deserve.

Size Charts
Step 1: Waist chart
Start by finding the corset size that corresponds to your natural waist measurement, then size up or down to get the best fit at the hips and underbust. You want a snug fit at the underbust and hips with the compression at the waist.
We recommend a 1.5 to 3 lacing gap for comfort and adjustability during the day. We do not recommend anything larger than a 3 lacing gap.
For information on how to measure yourself to get the best fit watch our video:

Once you have your corset size, use the Cup Sizing Chart below to determine your best Cup Size.
Step 2: Bust chart
Find your corset size in the chart then using your bust measurement find the best fit. REMEMBER: The Hourglass Overbust has a front lacing. The front lacing can be worn closed or open, so you will want to lean towards the Smaller Cup size to provide the most flexibility.
For best results, see the chart below for bust circumference. Use your squished bust measurement with a well-fitting, unpadded bra.
Hourglass overbust cup sizes - includes 2 lacing gap
We recommend wearing the hourglass overbust with a lacing gap in the back, and not closed. A lacing gap ensures proper fit in the bust, at the armpits, and around the shoulder blades.
