Corsetry

As well as designing and creating ready-to-wear, Marianne Faulkner is also available to create custom corsets. Ms. Faulkner's corsets are made with steel bones and a coutil strength layer. Please note, however, that at this time Ms. Faulkner does not create corsets suitable for tightlacing. These corsets are designed to be an intermediary between cheap off-the-rack "fashion corsets" and pricey tightlacing corsets intended for 23/7 wear. Two example corsets are shown below; more are forthcoming.

For more information such as a price estimate and available fabrics, please e-mail Marianne. A basic design questionnaire for determining style and budget can be found on the ordering information page.

Custom corset created for a client. 12 panels of silk with a coutil strength layer and black cotton lining. Steel busk, 14 steel bones in external casing, waist tape and floating modesty panel.

Light "economy" corset; good for days when one doesn't want a lot of cinch or for someone new to corsetry. Sweetheart top shaping and rounded point at the bottom. 8 panels, 10 bones in externally flat-felled seams. Fashion fabric and coutil only. Though it doesn't show very well in these pictures, the bust is very shaped. Shown here with front lace closure only; thus, this corset is not adjustable. The corset seen in these pictures was essentially a mock-up; as such, the bones are too short, resulting in the wrinkles you see, which would assuredly not be allowed on a corset for a client.
