. Bridal corsets
From the 1990's, there's a great revolution in wedding dresses! It's all over with the archi-traditional meringue-dress, big pouf of shiny polyester, uniformly white and making each bride a clone of all others...
Today
one wants a wedding dress which
resembles her and affirms her personality, a single creation which
reflects her tastes, and makes her unique! In the line of
this change, the traditional flimsy bustier makes more and more place
to true corsets, moulded much better on your body, never gaping and
which makes you an incredible figure with a true wasp-waist! No
concerns: you will be completely at your ease, the whole day, as can
testify many brides who taked the plunge. If you doubt it, read these
testimonys (only in French unfortunately): http://perso.wanadoo.fr/corset/francais/temoignage9.htm http://perso.wanadoo.fr/corset/francais/mariee.htm and just see this photos! http://simply-brides.co.uk/corset.html http://www.jurneckacreations.com/bridal.htm http://www.romantasy.com/all-galleries/galleries/bridal-page-1.htm
You must not forget that a corset is tightened as you wants: you can be laced very tight for the ceremony and the photographs, and then you unlace you a little if you feel the need for it when you eat and dance. But, I repeat it, as a bridal corset is never excessively tight, it is very probable that you will even not need to unlace it a bit. Most of the brides who wore corset confirm to have suffered from... their new shoes, whereas they had completely forgotten the corset! Your Volute bridal corset will not give you an extreme tighlacing : 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) of reduction seems a good average. But the effect is already extraordinarily visible !
Your corset will follow all your desires for this very unique day : if the overbust victorian is generally prefered by brides because it can be worn alone and allows splendid trimings, a waist cincher or an underbust victorian allows original ans very personal effects. And you can, why not, dare the Marie-Antoinette style: guaranteed chic effect!
I like making bridal corsets
in the
richest noble fabrics : raw silk, taffeta, brocade... and to
trim them with lace or frogs ; but you can also be more
original with a very coloured corset, or in unexpected fabrics: deer,
denim... Of course, I can make it in a fabric matched with your gown,
your veil... Everything is possible for this unique day ! . .

... charmingly portrayed here!
~ Beauty does exist in "queen size" too! Here, a very nice corset in cream taffeta, ribbons and lace, on a basis of a long (overbust) victorian

Different ways of being a corseted bride...
The corset, if often the main and visible part of the bride's attire, can also be worn under the dress as body-shaping wedding lingerie, as simple or as sexy as one wants! It can feature garters/suspenders.
It can also be worn as a complement over the dress, like this long overbust victorian with a nice pointy decollete, made out of a cream brocade embroidered in soft gold, worn over a sheer blouse....
... or this underbust victorian (see the original drawing here). Two ways of wearing it: at the great day, and in more "casual" circumstances!
Two cup-corsets (see the original drawing here) that can easily be worn again after wedding, with a skirt or a jean... Of course, every colors are very welcome!
