Corset in your stash just a little too small for comfort? Our revolutionary expander panel will increase the size of your corset by one size (2 inches) or two sizes (4 inches)!

The inky black cashmere finish is an ideal match for your black cashmere (003) and black cotton (084) corsets.

The beige cotton finish will match the fabric on our beige cotton (208) corsets.

While our production team is very good at what they do, due to the natural variability in construction, we cannot guarantee precision that the trim edges will match up within 1mm. (Please see the black expander with our black velvet corset for an example of a good match, and the beige expander with the beige Novice corset for a less perfect match.)

To ensure as close a match as possible, we advise ordering an expander panel at the same time as your corset, so they can be constructed in at the same time to match.

We do not guarantee compatibility with any other corset brand.

 

Why expander panels and how do they work?

We honor our bodies' natural fluctuations. During times of feast or lack, peace or stress, or changes in our hormones, our size may go up and down.

Our Corset Expander Panels work by adding extra inches to the front of the corset. This allows the side seams of the corset to hit the sides of your body, and creates a smaller lacing gap in the back, which will enable you to lace up your corset easily.

Please use expanders one at a time (do not link multiple expanders together). Not to be used as a pregnancy expander; we do not recommend the use of corsets during pregnancy for any reason.

 

Instructions for Use

(We are not responsible for damage to your corset busk or to the expander due to  misuse.)


How to put on:

When putting on the corset, clasp it to your corset carefully and with a mirror, ensuring ALL 10 loops and pins are thoroughly fastened before tightening the corset.

We find it's helpful to loop an elastic band around one side of the fastened busks to keep it in place while fastening the other side:

Elastic band is placed around one side of the clasped busk of the expander panel, as a suggestion for clasping the busk easily.


How to take off:

When taking off the corset, ensure your laces are extremely loose and unclasp the expander slowly and carefully, preferably with a mirror, to open and take off the corset. Do not twist or yank, as this will damage the busks.
