Achievable Waist Reduction
The Waist Reduction rating is the maximum waist reduction achievable of the corset. Just because a corset is rated to a 4 or 5" waist reduction doesn't mean you have to wear them that tightly, you have the choice between comfort & control.
Not interested in Waist Reduction? This rating will give you an idea of the weight of the corsets in our collections, from lingerie to expert level corsetry, as well as the support they offer.

Disguise Rating Explained
The Disguise Rating is how invisible a corset is underneath clothing, relative to the other designs available in our collections.
All Corsets & foundation garments will be difficult to completely disguise underneath bodycon and very tight fitting sheer garments. Dresses with scooped backs can also be problematic when pairing with overcast designs.

Comfort Rating Explained
The Comfort Rating is how comfortable your corset will be. Some fabrics are less suited to longer periods of wear and more theatrical designs can become heavy if wearing all day.
Naturally you will find that your corset will be less comfortable the tighter you lace it, corsetry is about finding the balance between comfort & control that best suits you.

Corset Features?
From the 6th January through to the 25th February there are more than 65 colourful parades that feature a whole host of weird and wonderful floats. Mardi Gras marks the exciting culmination of weeks of parades celebrating the Christian feasts of the Epiphany. The day sees thousands of colourfully dressed people descend onto the streets with folding chairs, barbecues and beverages to watch the floats pass by and catch the colourful beads and necklaces thrown by the passing krewes. Mardi Gras is one final blow out, one last bout of debauchery before the shadow of lent falls!
Masks, costumes and craziness are to the Carnival season as peanut butter is to jelly - unquestionably necessary! Sparkly headdresses, feathers and sequins are a must. At the very least, you must wear something in the Carnival colours - purple, green and gold. Not only will it get you into the Mardi Gras spirit, but you will fit right in.
When choosing a Mardi Gras costume, forget everything you have ever learned about dressing in public! Mardi Gras costumes are an outrageous cacophony of colours, textures and shapes. You can let your imagination run wild and create an outfit that is a true expression of your most eccentric inner self!
The first step is to decide on a theme, you could dress up like a Mardi Gras king or queen, a Jester, Lady Versailles or even a peacock. If you don't want to choose a particular theme for your costume, you could improvise and throw together the craziest articles of clothing and accessories that you can find. At Mardi Gras, anything goes! Mardi Gras is always more fun with friends, especially if you all wear coordinating outfits! Your group will stand out in the crowd as you follow the parade or dance the night away at a Mardi Gras party.
A beautiful, figure-hugging corset provides the perfect base to a vivacious Mardi Gras outfit. Nipping you in at the waist while enhancing your assets, a corset will boost your self-esteem and leave you feeling incredibly sexy. All eyes will be on you! Our Mardi Gras corsets are unapologetically lavish. Featuring the colours of the carnival purple, gold and green and finished with sequins, lace and shimmering beads - our selection of handmade corsets have been handcrafted to ensure you look and feel like a Carnival Queen.
