Venus Underbust Essential Satin Corset

Satin and steel. The combination has been doing heavy lifting in gothic and alternative fashion since before most fast fashion brands knew what a busk was.

The Venus Underbust Essential Satin Corset is the one you reach for when you want the silhouette to do the talking. The satin finish catches light in a way that flat cotton doesn't, which matters when you're layering this over a sheer mesh top or wearing it as the centrepiece of a full dark aesthetic look. Hip gores give it that dramatic flare below the waist, and the flat and spiral steel boning combination means it holds its shape through a full night without turning into a medieval torture device. This one is an ALT CVLT label piece, which we're quietly proud of.

Available in Size 6. Satin exterior, flat and spiral steel boning, hip gore construction. Underbust silhouette suits layering over high-waisted skirts, trousers, or anything dramatic.

Corset Care

Spot clean only. Never machine wash or tumble dry. Air dry flat, away from direct sunlight and heat. Store hung by the loops or laid flat, never folded, to preserve the boning. Season a new corset by wearing it loosely laced for two to three hours on the first few wears before tightening. Never over-tighten. Handled properly, a good corset lasts years.
