Queen of Hearts

€540

CLASSIFICATION: THE RECONSTRUCTED
DESIGN: QUEEN OF HEARTS
CONSTRUCTION: MADE TO ORDER
PATTERN: ESTABLISHED FAE SKIN DESIGN
FABRIC: SELECTED INDIVIDUALLY
FIT: MADE TO MEASURE

Queen of Hearts is an overbust corset constructed from hand-pieced panels. The design has a softly sculpted bust, dramatic centre-front teardrop cutout and curved hem. Pankou closures, wide sheer ribbons and decorative details such as butterflies or beads can be incorporated into each reconstruction.
Boning is primarily concealed within the construction, leaving the outer surface uninterrupted. The resulting silhouette combines structured support with a softer, more fluid appearance.
Each Queen of Hearts is reconstructed to your measurements and made from a selection of fabrics chosen for the individual piece.

CONSTRUCTION

The corset is constructed using the established Queen of Hearts pattern. Each reconstruction is fitted to the wearer’s measurements, with the construction and finishing completed specifically for the individual piece.

MATERIAL

You may select the fabrics for your reconstruction. Reclaimed, vintage and new textiles can be considered, depending on availability and suitability for the design. Fabric options will be discussed with you before construction begins.
If you have a particular textile in mind, you may also contact the atelier before ordering.

MEASUREMENTS

The following measurements are required:

A Overbust

Measure the circumference of your torso just above the fullest part of your bust, where the upper edge of the corset will sit. Keep the tape level and comfortably snug.

B Bust

Measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape parallel to the floor. The tape should be comfortably snug, not tight.

Wear a tight-fitting top while measuring to provide gentle support and light compression.

C Underbust

Measure directly beneath the bust, around the ribcage. Keep the tape parallel to the floor.

D Waist

Measure around your natural waist, at the point where your body naturally creases when bending from side to side. Keep the tape snug but do not pull it tight.

E Center Front to Waist

Measure from the base of your neck, just above the collarbones, to your natural waist, following the curve of your body.

F Upper Shoulder to Overbust

Measure from the upper shoulder, approximately at the end of the collarbone, to the overbust line, following the curve of the body.

G Side Torso Length

Measure from the overbust line to your natural waist along the side of your torso. Follow the curve of the ribs rather than measuring across the breast.
