Hello all,
If someone could help me out with this I'd be very grateful.:D
Im getting my SSIA soon and Ive decided to spend the whole lot on some things that Ive always wanted but havent been able to afford for one reason or another. One of the things on my list is a corset.
Now, I mean a proper victorian style corset you can wear out with a skirt or jeans or whatever, basically something really nice and classy and properly made. Im willing to spend a few hundred if necessary as Ive always wanted one and now is my ideal opportunity.
Theres plenty of online places, mainly UK based like Vollers that do beautiful corsets. What Im asking is is there any where here in good ol' ireland that stocks them, or even a dedicated corset maker.
I think that they are just beautiful things on women, just look at Dita Von Teese? Theyre a fashion item and arent just to nip in the waist, although they can give a great shape to just about anyone so they are not just for the super skinny like so many clothes are these days. Ive seen a hand made corset made by a UK based corsetier and it was just a stunning thing.
Anyway, if anyone knows of somewhere here in Ireland that I could look in to please do post here and help me out.
Thanks folks,

Any of the lingerie shops, there are a couple on William street south who sell corsets.

I know I'm a little late, but try Miss Fantasia, behind the Green. FAB corsets, really well made.

Go to Raccoco just beside the westbrey (spl) mall, and also costume just across from the powerscourt shopping centre. Both always have a large selection of corsets, that are made properly and are boned, so worth the extra expense rather than one from the hightstreet.

See what I said here:

My vote goes to Miss Fantasia. The corsets are beautiful, wonderfully made, have proper steel boning and will last forever.

I've found that Rococco (as mentioned above beside the Westbury Mall) have corsets that I would think of as more for debs and balls than just for general wear.
