Many people who come to see
Corsets By Casta Diva displays at local fashion shows and events wonder why we do not have a website or a retail store. The reason is that Corsets By Casta Diva only creates garments on a made-to-order basis. We believe strongly in the value of the custom-made clothing tradition, sometimes called bespoke tailoring.
We pride ourselves on creating corsets, bodices, and other fashionable evening wear in a distinctive and flattering form that complements the wearer’s individual shape and characteristics. Pictures of styles that have worked for other women can be misleading. A better approach involves consultation with a professional who can help you pick out a style that is 100 percent you.
Corsets benefit greatly from the made-to-order principle because of the nature of the garment. Women who buy off-the-rack corsets may not reap the look and comfort provided by a properly fitted garment, unless they have prior experience with corsets. At Corsets By Casta Diva, we shape each garment specifically to the wearer.
The key to corset-wearing success relates to the fit. In order to choose the right size, you will need to take certain measurements. The most important of these include the natural waist (just above the hip bones; not where more people wear their pants), the widest part of the bust, and the widest part of the hips. Properly designed, the corset will cinch in the waist by two to four inches, depending on the wearer, the garment style, and how tightly it is tied.
Corsets By Casta Diva assists women in choosing from a wide range of corset styles, creating a one-of-a-kind look that flatters the figure and feels comfortable to wear. A fitting session with Corsets By Casta Diva affords you the opportunity to discuss your preferences in terms of style and fit, and also to get an expert opinion on what will work best for you.
