Add a little decadence and whymsi to any day with this unique piece!
Please read the entirety of this listing before purchase.
This handcrafted corset features the whimsical 'strawberry thief' tapestry design by William Morris. This timeless and well-loved design features the thrushes Morris once found stealing fruit from the kitchen garden of his Oxfordshire countryside home. They are just adorable, aren't they! The tapestry fabric has been carefully cut to feature mirror-image birds on the front and the back. This is the perfect statement piece to add to any festival, faire or everyday outfit. The corset also features cream bias binding and sage green lacing, with silver eyelets.
This is SIZE MEDIUM according to our size charts. (Please ensure you read the size charts and note that this corset is designed to have a 2in/5cm gap in the front for visible statement lacing and room to shape.)
This means that the corset itself measures roughly 34 inches at the bust and 26 inches at the waist, and is a best fit for bodies measuring close to 36 inches at the bust and 28 inches at the waist.
☾ The panels of this corset are cut to create a very flattering and whimsical shape by pushing in and up when laced from the bottom up.
☾ This corset is made of rich layers of soft but durable tapestry fabric and cotton canvas, machine-stitched for long-lasting wear.
☾ Comes with eight boning channels and uses the highest quality German synthetic whalebone. Synthetic whalebone is a remarkable material made of thick plastic with spring-like qualities which has been designed to mimic traditional whalebone- but thankfully doesn't involve any cute marine mammals! (Vintage style, not vintage values!) Over time and with wear it moulds to fit your unique shape and will create the most durable garment. Contained boning channels for additional strength and resilience.
☾ The comfort lining is made from soft 100% cotton duck canvas. (Though please note that corsets should never be worn against the skin to encourage their longevity.)
☾ The edges are sealed in luxurious satin bias binding and double-sided satin ribbons will lace up some magic!
☾ I use only the highest quality eyelets for a bright finish and there are no sharp edges to catch on your laces to be seen here!
