*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.

 

Step 1: Waist chart

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.

For information on how to measure yourself to get the best fit watch our video:

Once you have your corset size, use the Cup Sizing Chart below to determine your best Cup Size.

 

Step 2: Bust chart

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 if you are between cup sizes, 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.
