This is our modern corset named Damaris.
Our Damaris corsets are designed to make you look like you’re stepping out of a historical drama, and ready to live your modern life with a bit of old-timey romance.
These renaissance inspired corsets with beautiful patterned fabrics can be made on a variety of different colors and fabrics, as you can see in the pictures. Some are made out of patterned woven cotton brocade with metallic inserts, while others are made of synthetic blends, taffeta, patterned cotton and so on.
Because the corset is boned and adjusts with lacing, it cinches the waist and bust, lifting the breasts and giving the torso an elegant slimmed look, accentuating the curves of the body. No bra is needed when wearing this ensemble. The corset, when laced comfortably tight, is very supportive to the bust.
All of these corsets are drafted and handmade by us. We made the patterns ourselves in our home atelier, chose the fabrics for their quality, cut and sewn the corsets with the utmost care and regard for the type of fabric it’s made of and with the durability of the item in mind.
This corset is adjustable from size XS to 2XL!
Properly cared for, this garment should last for many years.
Because the Damaris corset is highly adjustable, as one’s weight fluctuates through the years, the wearer doesn’t need to repurchase the corset when the wearer naturally goes up or down in size.
Wear and versatility has been the most important factors in designing these garments: the wearer can dress up or down these corsets and wear them with different outfits, from casual outfits with jeans and a turtleneck as depicted in the pictures to more fancier outfits for elegant occasions.
These corsets can also be worn to renaissance fairs and such, if worn in combination with other such items like long full skirts, chemises, aprons and so on.
All of these corsets are highly adjustable.
The pattern includes 2 side panels (one on each side) from where the wearer can adjust the corset to their specific size. The corsets are fully boned with synthetic boning. They have 8 bones, with the purpose of giving the garment its shape, and mildly supporting the wearers bust.
While a lot of though and care was put into the design and construction of these garments, these are fashion items and not corsets meant for tightlacing or for remodeling one’s body.
Please wear this item as it was intended.
Care instructions: This item is not designed to be worn next to bare skin, and should be worn over another garment (T-shirt, chemise, blouse, camisole etc.). If worn over another garment, as instructed, the corset does not need to be washed, as the garment worn underneath will protect the corset from sweat or skin oils. If the garment gets dirty, it is advised to wash it by hand with soap in lukewarm water, and hang to dry or dry laid flat on a towel. We do not recommend washing it in the washing machine and drying it in a tumble drier. If this is done (washing machine/ tumble drier), the corset can be damaged.

UNBELIEVABLY gorgeous! it just arrived, i put it on immediately and i never want to take it off. I paired it with an elizabethan smock that i just finished making and i adore how they look together. the top is beautifully, carefully made, and the ajustable side design is so smart. it’s also very supportive (for me, better than a bra). the shipping was also amazingly fast coming to the US all the way from Romania. Thank you so much Maria and Oana!!

The corset is absoutely gorgeous! It is a piece that I will forever treasure and I am convinced that it will last a lifetime. The quality of the seams and the luxurious navy blue brocade really made me question my spending habits and I will surely limit my fast-fashion clothing purchases from now on. It’s versatility is something I did not expect, I wore it on one ocassion with a flowy off-shoulder blouse and a pair of casual trousers and the juxtaposition was quite wonderful.
All in all, the piece shows amazing craftmanship and I would recommend anyone to buy it! Thank you, Maria and Oana!

One of the best purchases I have ever made! This corset is absolutely beautifully made with the colors and pattern looking exactly like the pictures (I got the ivory floral pattern). It is well constructed and so comfortable. I have a larger bust so I was worried about how it might look on me but it looks perfect! It looks gorgeous with a white chemise that I already had as well as on top of a white blouse with jeans. I am definitely going to be wearing it often!
