UNDERBUST "BELLA" VICTORIAN BY SHARON MCCOY MORGAN
****Style Advisory: Sturdy, well
crafted, classic style creating an ice-cream cone (rib-straightening)
waistline silhouette in four fabric layers. Will not
fit as well as a six-panel corset since it contours less
over the full torso. May tend to wrinkle a minor bit in
lower back panels, especially on slim people with small
derrieres. Suitable for MTF clients who wish
to visually narrow a broad rib cage. May create some rib
movement if worn daily for a year or more. This corset is an excellent value
and suitable for serious waist training.****
"I wore my gold silk Bella for 21 hours
continuously and it's exceedingly comfy! I even ate a
small steak dinner with it cinched down five inches with
no bad effects! I guess I am pretty well trained by now!" Leeann

I received my lovely Bella corset! I
started to panic at the end, unsure I had chosen well --
I suddenly wanted something more artsy, as I was
afraid this would look utilitarian. I am taking a
ceramics class right now
and while I am making fancier cups and bowls, everything
comes down to the
most basic shapes. What is "perfect" is simple. I can
appreciate fancy things, but beauty lies in the most
basic elements. That is how I feel about
this corset-- it is simple and non-fussy.
I showed my husband James and he said the same thing as
he examined it, 'It is perfect in how basic it is. It
really shows off how well it was made.'
I cannot tell you how worth it I think this will be for
me and how happy I know I will be with it! Thank you for
being to tactful with me in the end when I was doubting
my original ideas!" Kellie (Alaska, 3/11/08)
This adorable, simple, four-panel Victorian style was
developed by
senior corsetiere Sharon. She uses diagonal boning in
front which emphasizes and visually reduces the waistline,
especially when the boning is applied with outside bone
channels or when the diagonal bone on each side is adorned with flat lace trim.
Lace trim may also be applied vertically alongside the
front busk as shown in the corset right with
sharply-pointed top and bottom edges (note upcharge
for sharp point below; our standard shape is a
gently-pointed top edge with a
rounded bottom edge for best tummy control). Both
functional and lovely
in cotton, silk, or our fine cotton-backed satin seen
here: Classic Line Fabrics.
Lace can also
be applied over the top or bottom edges. A gathered
bottom (one or two-color) ruffle
and rosette at top as shown in the blue silk corset
below with sharply-pointed bottom edge, may be added.
We will deduct $45 from your order upon
receipt in our offices if you
choose the option of a single unlined corset, however,
note that we recommend the fully double plus bonding
especially for clients with 40" waistlines and over.
The maximum length underarm measurement from waist down to
bottom of corset is 5"; anything over that will require
you place an order not for the Bella Victorian, but for
a six-panel Edwardian style from our
Classic Line or our Elegant Line of corsetry.
