This corset is constructed in our most popular hourglass shape as an overbust, available in three cup sizes to fit your body. This silhouette has a higher back for comfort and support and comes with a detachable modesty panel. The front bust lacing provides for additional flexibility for fit and exposure to provide you with the comfort and curves you deserve.
Thank you to all the contributors who have worked with us over the years to make this corset possible: Amber Welch for the initial design. Lowana O'Shea (Vanyanis) for adjusting the pattern for comfort, and Lucy (Lucy's Corsetry) for her input to making this possible, and all our customers who asked for the Hourglass Overbust!
*Read more in the expandable content below for more details.*
For additional information on how to use hip, rib and bust springs for sizing see our How To Use Hip and Rib Springs blog.
Now three ways to confirm your size!
*The hourglass overbusts come in 33 different sizes (11 waist sizes and 3 bust sizes), so they fit a fairly wide range of body types.
Start by finding the corset size that corresponds to your natural waist measurement, then size up or down to get the best fit at the hips and underbust. You want a snug fit at the underbust and hips with the compression at the waist.
We recommend a 1.5" to 3" lacing gap for comfort and adjustability during the day. We do not recommend anything larger than a 3" lacing gap.

Smaller measurement is for corset laced closed, larger measurement include a 5 cm lacing gap. The lacing gap can be increased or decreased based upon your individual comfort level.
Once you have your corset size, use the Cup Sizing Chart to determine the best Cup Size.
Find your corset size in the chart then using your bust measurement find the best fit. REMEMBER: The Hourglass Overbust has a front lacing. The front lacing can be worn closed or open, so you will want to lean towards the Smaller Cup size to provide the most flexibility.
For best results, see the chart below for bust circumference. Use your "squished bust" measurement with a well-fitting, unpadded bra.
We recommend wearing the hourglass overbust with a lacing gap in the back, and not closed. A lacing gap ensures proper fit in the bust, at the armpits, and around the shoulder blades.
