HOW TO BUY

SELECTION
The selection of corsets in PASSIONAL's Philadelphia Boutique (and various vending events) varies depending upon season and local events. We have over 200 ready-to-wear corsets (sizes 18"-50") in stock that can be fitted to your body if you visit our store in Philadelphia. We also regularly take 50+ corsets on the road to our events booths.
STYLES
Popular styles are crafted from strong luxurious fabrics including satin, velvet, silk, satin, leather and brocades..

HEALTH BENEFITS
Because of the strength and sturdiness of these garments, corsets can provide excellent back support, helping relieve stress from the lower back and improve posture.

SIZING: Sizing is an important aspect of wearing a corset. PASSIONAL Boutique measures around the belly button, deducting four inches from the wearer’s natural waist size, or slightly more for large sizes. Torso length and body shape also affect corset sizing.
OFF-SITE FITTING & CUSTOM
If you cannot be fitted in person, or if you are purchasing a gift, we can help! Just send a photo and the natural waist size (around the belly button) or dress size as well as your fabric/ color preference and we can help you choose from our in-stock selection, or we can order from a standard pattern at no additional charge. We also offer CUSTOM FITTINGS (link) or we can fax you a measurement chart from any of our dozen international designers for custom work (usually custom corsets start about $100 more than corsets cut from a standard pattern).

Why gift a corset?
A corset is the perfect gift, the waist will slim, the chest will lift! Corsets are romantic, comfortable and stunning, drawing attention to the chest and offering comfortable back support while decorating the body with lush fabrics. Lacing into a corset sculpts any body into an hourglass shape, creating sexy “look at me” confidence for any body type. Corsets are gifts that keep giving-- a corset can be worn again and again with a suit and jacket as business attire, with a long skirt and a wrap to formal affairs, out on the town to nightclubs or with nothing else for intimate moments at home. Most fashion corsets are designed to be worn over clothes; however the addition of a few garter suspenders and removal of slacks or a skirt instantly transforms the look into “classic pinup model.”

Ordering gift corsets
To order a gift corset, simply measure the natural waist size (around the belly button) of the person to be cinched, or provide the dress size. If you can send a full body photograph, we can better assist you in finding the perfect ready-to-wear corset style appropriate for the body type to be wrapped up. Indicate your fabric/ color preference and we can help you choose from our in-stock selection, or we can order from a standard pattern at no additional charge. We also offer CUSTOM FITTINGS (link) or we can fax you a measurement chart from any of our dozen international designers for custom work (usually custom corsets start about $100 more than corsets cut from a standard pattern).
We can exchange UNWORN mail-order corsets for size within 30 days of if needed.
