All Beelzebunny Corsets are bespoke designed and tailored to fit.
Firstly we’ll discuss the design. We’ll think about what you are going to wear it with, where you are going to wear it, what you’re going to do while you’re wearing it – and how the corset can make the most of your natural assets.
I make corsets for people of all shapes and sizes and everyone I’ve ever corsetted looked delicious. You don’t have to be perfect to be sexy and we’ll design the corset that suits your shape.
I’ll take your measurements (or if you have someone trusted who can take them you can send them to me) and discuss the design with you and first of all make a toile (mock-up) in calico.
Then I’ll need to fit this to you and make any alterations to the fit and to the shape. This way I get the best possible fit.
I can sometimes travel to visit other people but it’s easier (and cheaper) for you to visit my home in Manchester.
We’ll chose the fabrics and trimmings together and you’ll have the corset you want.
All this doesn’t happen overnight – it can take upto 6 weeks – but most people think it’s worth it.

Hiya, took details of your site from Informed Consent. To date we have never splashed out on a “proper” corset restricting ourselves to “play” basques & the like via mail order, high street shops etc. I now wish buy a bespoke piece by way of a treat for my partner hence this enquiry.
I understand that the method of construction & type of bones used is important but your site is scant on this type of information. Do you have additional information about your products?

Hi Andrew
The corsets are all made from high quality cotton or satin coutil. This is the traditional corsetry material used for centuries – more solid and more robust that cotton twill or canvas which I have occasionally seen used as the basis for a corset. Where there’s an ornamental fabric this is used on top and the coutil underneath. If the coutil is on the top there would be a cotton or satin lining underneath. If necessary I can use two layers of coutil. The prices quoted are for 2 layer corsets are but three layered corsets can be made at an additional cost.
I use steel busks – these can be flexible, solid, or spoon, depending on the needs of the client.
I generally use 10 flexible and 4 solid steel bones in each corset. I find this to be sufficient but some clients like more and this can be arranged. We can discuss the pros and cons of using flexible and solid steel bones. The 7mm steel is the ‘standard’ corsetry width but I occasionally use 11mm if it works for the particular project.
All the seams are triple stitched, the corset is finished with overlocking and binding – the binding is stitched by hand for neatness. Additional ornamentation is also hand-stitched. I use 2 part gromets rather than single eyelets which are occasionally used on cheaper corsets.
I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Helen
