Velda Lauder Corsetiere

Corsets keep popping up in my life lately. I've seen friends wearing them for burlesque classes, celebrities wearing them on runways and red carpets, and regular women on social media incorporating them into outerwear and fancy dress costumes. I've always loved the look of corsets, but I haven't realized how versatile they can be until recently.

These corsets are more of the red carpet and outerwear variety, but if you're going to invest in a corset you might as well start at the top! Many of these corsets come straight from Paris, and were shown at the Salon International Show recently there. They are gorgeous high quality pieces, and as an added bonus can reduce your waist by two to four inches!

Our new pieces from Velda Lauder run the gamut from underbust corsets that would be at home at the Moulin Rogue to elegant silk overbust corsets that will be perfect for your next formal event.

In the traditional corset category, we have the Velda Lauder Underbust Purple Dupion Silk & Lace Corset, as well as the Dita Overbust Corset. The Dita Overbust Corset is a great option for a formal event. It's silky shine and classic ribbon add wonderful details, but don't compete with your amazing figure. This corset will really bring out your curves, and definitely is for someone who likes a little cleavage in their life. Pair it with a long silk skirt and change out your shoes and accessories for different occasions. If you've had trouble with your weight redistributing itself in awkward ways in shorter corsets, the Underbust Purple Dupion Silk & Lace corset is nice and long. The lace gives you extra length, and also that cheeky French touch.

In the non-traditional corset category, the standouts are the Velda Lauder Underbust Black Mesh Corset, The Underbust Pinstripe Buckle Corset, and the Black Off The Shoulder Mesh Top. The Underbust Black Mesh Corset has modern see through panels, but is as strong as a traditional corset. It's a great statement piece that can be worn as underwear or outerwear over colorful shirts and dresses. The Underbust Pinstripe Corset is right on trend for this season, as menswear touches in lingerie come back into fashion. Finally, if you've ever wondered what to wear under your corset, this Black Off The Shoulder Mesh Top is perfect to add some attitude to your outfit. It will help slim your arms, soften your neckline, and drape gracefully over your chest if you're not comfortable displaying all the cleavage that your bra or corset has to offer.

Remember that corsets should generally be purchased two to four inches below your natural waist size to give you that hourglass shape. If you've never tried one, Velda Lauder is a great place to start. They're known for being comfortable and classic, and a great corset never goes out of style.
