The corset fits perfectly and is really quite comfortable. Leonie was great to work with. Thank you so much! -update: I love this corset even more after wearing two consecutive days at a fair. It was supportive and very lightweight and held up very well. By far the best corset I have worn for Renaissance festivals. Money well spent.

Absolutely gorgeous!! I ordered a custom corset from Leonie and she was responsive and accommodating throughout the whole process, from the payment schedule to the the design and the fabric. It fits beautifully, the craftsmanship is fantastic, and I can't wait to wear it for my event.

I worked with Leonie to create a custom gown. I wanted it inspired by Ariel's pink dress from "The Little Mermaid", but with historical details and full corseting. Leonie was AMAZING and included me in every step. From the initial sketches, to the fabric choices, to a mock version to test fit, to trims used - she let me be part of it all. The final product is outstanding, and of the upmost quality. There were five separate parts to the outfit which include an underskirt, crinoline, bum roll, skirt, and over dress. Every detail is meticulously finished and the pictures do not do this dress justice at all. I am beyond thrilled and am already dreaming up the next dress! I cannot recommend Leonie and her store enough.

Last updated on May 10, 2022

Welcome to Corsets and Costumes. My shop is very small at the moment but I am constantly making garments and plan to increase my stock as time goes by.
I have tried to supply as much information on my items as possible but please convo me if you have any questions.

Where possible I like to use natural materials and fabrics and any garment designed to be worn next to the skin is either made entirely from natural fibres or is lined with fabric woven with natural fibres such as linen or cotton.

I like to experiment with different boning materials and I have used steel, and plastic synthetic whalebone,

I have tried to describe fabrics and materials as accurately as possible.

I am now offering custom items. The fabrics shown on my shop are just a few examples of fabrics I have in stock. I am in process of compiling pictures of the various fabrics I can offer.

I am now in the process of adding sewing patterns to my shop.

Accepted payment methods

Accepts Etsy Gift Cards and Etsy Credits

Returns & exchanges

See item details for return and exchange eligibility.

Cancellations

Cancellations: not accepted

Please contact the seller if you have any problems with your order.

Payment

I am happy to send fabric and trim samples if required as the colour and texture of a fabric is not always easy to show on screen.
CUSTOM GARMENTS
I usually require a deposit of one third of the cost of the garment before starting work on your mock-up or your garment, if a mock up is not needed. I am happy to discuss payment plans.

I would appreciate payment for the deposit within seven days. Please contact me if you cannot make payment within this time to see if we can work something out. If I am not contacted within this time I reserve the right to cancel the order.

I will inform you when I am ready to start work on your mock-up and will continue on receipt of your confirmation to go ahead. When finished I will post the mock up to you for fitting. I will pay UK postage of the mock up and charge a reduced postage for overseas customers. Return postage cost for the mock-up is not included.
On its return I will make alterations if necessary and will require confirmation from you to go ahead with the final garment. If I do not receive confirmation within seven days I reserve the right to cancel the order.
I will keep you informed of the progress and will inform you when it is ready. At this stage I will require the remaining balance of the garment cost within seven days unless a payment plan has been agreed.
On receipt of final payment your garment will be posted to you within 5 days. (Please note this does not include actual postage time.)

TIMESCALES FOR CUSTOM ORDERS
These can vary according to my workload. Generally a mock up will be produced within 10 days and the garment can be produced within 30 days. These times may be reduced but a complex garment may take considerably longer. I will always give a more accurate timescale before I accept an order.

Shipping

POSTAGE/SHIPPING
I aim to ship items within a maximum of 5 days of receiving payment. (This is to allow for packing time and weekends and public holidays when it is not always possible to ship an item)
Garments will be wrapped in white acid-free tissue paper first and then wrapped in bubble wrap. Depending on the size of the garment, it will be posted in a strong polythene postal bag or boxed.
I send garments by Royal Mail or Parcel Force. The times given below are Royal Mail’s and Parcel Force's target times.
UK – 1st class recorded (target time next working day)
Western Europe – International signed for (target time – 3 working days)
Eastern Europe – International signed for (target time 5 working days)
Elsewhere – International signed for (target time 7 working days)

Sewing patterns will be wrapped first in a plastic pocket.
Patterns will be sent:
Royal Mail 1st Class Recorded Delivery for UK Customers
Royal Mail Tracked and Signed for Delivery for non UK Customers

If you would prefer a faster delivery service or a standard delivery service please contact me for prices.

PLEASE note that the prices quoted for shipping do not include possible customs or tax charges
