Made To Order Red Fan Lace Girdle

Kiss Me Deadly

Sold Out

These are handmade to order, taking around 6-8 weeks.

Fan Laced Girdles were invented to help women dress themselves. Now, in a modern context, that might sound insane, but there was a period where women's clothing came with an almost compulsory corset, and though you can lace those yourself, the longer length the corset and the less flexible you get, the more challenging that becomes! In fan lacing, the laces come into straps on either side, and you simple pull on them rather than having to adjust all the corset lacing individually. It's a signature look, and surprisingly practical!

Originally, these tend to be made in a sort of peachy cotton with heavy duty lacing, Kiss Me Deadly wanted to update the style. These are made with duchess satin, synthetic whalebone, and a touch of powernet, with contrast fan lacing in ribbon coming into a grosgrain ribbon strap. Because this garment is largely non stretch, it functions more like a corset than our usual girdles. Rather than a busk, it does up with hooks and eyes down the front side.

Sizing; this garment is non-stretch fabric so all the flexibility comes from the lacing, as with corsets. This means you can have them fully closed or up to a few inches apart  up and down the back (obviously it's fine to have it more open at the bottom than at the top, or any other variation. We wouldn't recommend more than about a 3 inch gap). Fully closed, the measurements are:

Please bear in mind that these measurements are the SMALLEST the garment can be.
