Our philosophy is that corsetry should be comfortable and supportive and that slow fashion should reflect our values of manufacturing locally, using ethically sourced materials. Each bespoke corset is hand-drafted to fit the measurements of our individual clients. Our accomodation work for back injury involves several mockups and in-house fittings for truly supportive garments. Every ready-to-wear
corset is handcrafted using the same techniques and materials as our made-to-measure and bespoke corsetry. We pride ourselves on having immediate purchase pieces that are suitable for waist training. Bone & Busk corsets are constructed using the very best materials available: German coutil is the base strength fabric, and fashion fabrics are always natural fibres, interfaced where necessary (with the exception of our vegan leathers). We use a mixture of different grade 1/4" sprung steel for all of our corsets to create our silhouette, and occasionally employ spiral steel where necessary. All laces are either imported directly from Solstiss or vintage and antiques found through careful sleuthing. Delicate and fine hand-finishing details are employed; flossing is never done by machine. All standard patterns are hand-drafted from years of experience in drafting for different body-types and fitting tightlacers safely and comfortably. All historical patterns are hand-drafted or reproduced from antiques in designer Katharina Mior's personal collection. Formerly Totally Waisted!, Bone & Busk created one of the first comprehensive Waist Training Programs. For your program tailored uniquely for you, don't hesitate to get in touch.
