Description-

Our classic hourglass corset, customized to your colors and fabric choices. Select from a rainbow of dupioni silks or, request a custom fabric. We can also construct using your own fabrics (email us for details).

To achieve this look, we do a process called “flatlining”. This uses a beautiful fabric on the outside and combines it with an inner layer of our sturdy cotton coutil inside. With this two layer process we are able to achieve a gorgeous looking corset with the strength and structure of a heavy duty corset inside.

The Julia is a classic 19th century hourglass shape and can be used for a great range of silhouettes. Lightly boned, it smooths the line of the body from bust to hip. The Julia is cut in the shorter French style of the period from shaped pieces.
