Lara Leather Corset Sizing Guidelines

Finding the right corset size is the first step to achieving both comfort and a beautiful silhouette. Unlike regular clothing, corsets are structured garments that shape and reduce the waist, so the size you choose should usually be smaller than your natural waist measurement.

Use this guide to select the right size for your body and purpose:

General Sizing Rule

• If your natural waist is under 38", select a corset 4–6 inches smaller than your waist.
  
• If your natural waist is over 38", select a corset 6–8 inches smaller than your waist.
  

Example: If your natural waist is 29", your ideal corset size will be 24".

Key Factors to Consider

1. Purpose of Wearing

• Fashion or Light Back Support: Choose a corset 3–4 inches smaller than your waist for gentle shaping and comfort.
  
• Waist Training or Dramatic Silhouette: Aim for 4–8 inches smaller (depending on your squish factor and experience).
  

2. Experience Level

• First-Time Wearers: Start conservatively. Choose a size that gives you a comfortable reduction (closer to 3–4 inches). You can always size down in the future.
  
• Experienced Corset Wearers: You may prefer more dramatic reductions since your body is already accustomed to corseting.
  

3. Torso Length

• Short Torso: A shorter style corset (underbust or mid-hip) may fit best and feel more comfortable.
  
• Long Torso or Fuller Figure: A longline corset offers more coverage and distributes shaping more evenly, making 6–8 inch reductions easier to wear.
  

4. Body Composition (“Squish Factor”)

• Softer or curvier bodies: Can generally size down more since the waist compresses more easily.
  
• Athletic or muscular bodies: Will not compress as much, so a smaller reduction is recommended (3–5 inches).
  

5. Overbust Corsets

For overbust corsets, bust size plays an important role. Make sure your bust, waist, and hip measurements align with the chart to ensure balanced support and comfort.
