Custom Corsets

edibility · 21-10-2004 10:13PM #1

I'm hoping to get a corset to wear to my grad next summer, but I have absolutely no idea where I can get one....I don't want to order online because I have a fairly curvy figure thats no official size and I don't want to pay good money for something that doesn't fit comfortably or look right. Doesn't really matter where the corset makers would be, I'm more than willing to travel, but Dublin really would be the best. Thanks for any suggestions!

Monsoon sometimes do lovely corsets and matching skirts, in beautiful colours etc. but can be bit on the 'spensive side..

Expense, as long as its not the omg-this-thing-cost-two-quid-to-make-and-they've-multiplied-it-by-400 kind, isn't a big problem, I want this outfit to be special, but I really wanna get my own design made y'see

I'll take a look though, thanks

bridal designs on aungier street is where i got my debs dress made, they did a fantastic job. i got a gorgeous corset and full skirt made with a matching wrap. obviously you dont have to go the whole hog, mine cost 250 old irish pounds, but its a beautiful dress. if you get a style that you will wear again then its definately worth it. made to fit, with several re-fittings during the course of making. they had a great selection of fabrics to choose from, and im sure they'd be happy to work with your own if you find something you like.
you could also ask them if they will simply custom make you a corset if you find a suitable skirt elsewhere.
quality dressmakers, definately worth the money that was paid for it.

Brilliant shop in Nutgrove Shopping Centre. That's where I got my debs dress which was beauuuutiful!!! Can't remember the name of the shop tho.

super fashions methinks
nice dresses, but not a huge selection size wise, so she might have trouble getting something that fits.

These people are very, very good.

Expensive though, but it is a one of a kind, made to measure garment.

hey, original poster - did you ever find what you were looking for? on the look out for a corset myself for the end of this month, ideally in dark colours like dark purple, green, red or black. any suggestions?

is miss fantasia any good? (what about the range of sizes - i would also fit into your "fairly curvy" descrtiption)

I got my corset in a lingerie store in Lonodn, but Asha in Dublin sell them. They are all a standard size there, and unfortunately my chest wasnt big enough for them

, cos they are really really nice

Tar.Aldarion · 13-09-2005 01:35PM

oh that they are,maybe somebody should open a corset shop,go on.

beardedchicken · 13-09-2005 08:00PM

asha? hadn't thought of trying there - could only think of places like ann summers or miss fantasia!
cheers.

Hey u should try a lil boutique called Peekaboo its on crow st n temple bar they been there for yrs n they r really good they sell a small selection of corsets n skirts n their shop but they do a made to order service to so u could prob tell them the type o design ur lookin for n they'll make it up for u. I know they r really good cause I did work experience with them many years ago n they have lovely corsets n their shop im not too sure what their price range is like now though.

Eh this thread is 3 years old! I'm thinking the OP got something in time....even if not maybe 3 years later is a little too late me thinks?
