Closed Front

These elegant corsets have no fastener at the front so have a "clean" look and can show the fabric well. They are also particularly comfortable to wear.

Closed front corsets can be a shaped-top, emphasising the curve of the bust, a sweep-top with a wider front or straight-top for a simple elegant line. They fit by fully opening the lace at the back, then pulling over the head like a jumper. Once in place they are very comfortable. We often make closed-front corsets for wedding dresses, proms and evening gowns.

Modesty panels are available if required - just add one to the basket from the list below and we'll fit it for you. These cover the skin behind the lace (usually with the same fabric as the corset) and just require a little more care to position as you tighten the corset.

Modesty Panel

Modesty panel to cover under the lacing at the back of the corset.

A modesty panel is a strip of fabric that is tacked to the inside of one side of the back of the corset. When you put the corset on, position the panel over the gap and keep tucking it in as you pull the corset tight.

Modesty panels are made from the same fabric as the corset as standard, though other fabrics may be used - just drop us a line!

Some people like a modesty panel to keep the colour of the corset at the back or simply to cover the skin. If you are new to corsets, please bear in mind that it is perfectly normal for the skin to fold a little under the lace (many people like that bit!) and it can be fiddly to tighten the lace whilst keeping a modesty panel straight!
