Corsets
Our corsets are fully lined and interlined for maximum strength and durability. We construct our corsets with three layers - the face, lining, and interlining. Sturdy spiral steel bones or plastic whalebone is used to offer strong support and flexibility. The bones are sandwiched between the face and interlining within a tightly woven bone casing. All bones are tipped to prevent any chance of puncture from the top or bottom.
