Bridal corsets

and gowns

~

NEW !

Volute now creates not only wedding corsets, but complete wedding gowns too!

Everything is completely custom-made to follow your measures and desires, from the quite simple outfit combining corset + assorted skirt to the complete historical gown (oh, to have a wedding day in a panier gown "a la polonaise" of the 18th century, or in a 1880 gown with bustle, eyelet cotton underskirts and wonderful silk overskirts...).

These unique pieces, created artisanaly to your own and only intention, cost... the same than a standrad dress of a commercial brand! I can adapt myself to your budget, from a basis of 700 euros for the simplest complete outfits to 2000 euros for the more baroque historical gowns.

Hare are a few pictures of recent creations (2008):

     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. 

       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!

Two shootings... 

Here is a bridal gown prototype, inspired from the 1880's. It has been taken in picture by two talented photographers, in two very different "moods" that are almost like "angel and demon", and that I both love...

The first shooting is from Audrey Wnent...

 ... and the second one, from Quentin Caffier.

Different ways to be

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 short (underbust) victorian.

Here is another example of a very "angelic" corset, in eyelet cotton,

worn over a mini-blouse

and an ample flowing skirt :

Marie

One can imagine to ornate it with feathers, like this...

Lilly

... or this :

Beauty comes in "queen size" too,

of course !

Volute creates with pleasure corsets and dresses for plus-sized women, without any supplement of price.

One of the advantages of a wedding corset is that it can be worn again with a simpler skirt or pants, for a more "casual" look.

Any color is obviously welcome!
