5 out of 5 starsMy thoughts on sizing: If you intend to have this lace all the way closed and you have a large chest, you may need to size up. Definitely use the smaller number as your matcher if you want it laced shut or almost shut, and don’t expect any give in the bodice itself. If your belly is bigger than your boobs, consider a larger size and padding the boobs out from underneath. All range in size is based on how wide you lace it. You can still wear it with the sides and front loosened, but if that isn’t the look you want, then be aware. As far as quality- sewing feels solid and you can lace it up tightly enough to actually support a d cup (i.e. not corset tight, but bra levels of tight) and it holds its shape and doesn’t seem like it would ride up at the waist. Just be careful with the sizing.

5 out of 5 starsThis bodice is so gorgeous! I needed an upgraded piece for my ren faire garb and this exceeds my expectations. In the picture, I don’t have the laces adjusted all the way, but I’m so in love with it already! The measurements are perfect, the color, everything.

5 out of 5 starsMy goodness, this is am amazing bodice! I wanted a genuine piece since I'm a RF cast member this year. VERY STURDY and well made. If you're worried about the size being too big, it's very adjustable, plus you may have a layer or 2 to wear and it'll be easy to get off. Worth the money!!!!!

5 out of 5 starsMeasurements are as described and corset looks beautiful! Have to adjust the shoulder straps a bit because my shoulders are narrow

5 out of 5 starsI can never speak highly enough about how well these are constructed. This is such a gorgeous piece and I cant wait to get more use out of it at the faires next year. Brown has a gorgeous sheen in the light! Had rave reviews from folks as I walked around in my hobbit outfit at the faire in October!

5 out of 5 starsI cannot say enough amazing things about this bodice and Jena. She was SO communicative during the entire process, offered to make changes when new linen became available, which allowed me to have exactly what I had hoped for (and why the photo doesn't match the listing). On top of that, though, this bodice is beautiful, so well made, equally sturdy and flexible, and the color is exactly as the photos looked! I have never had a bodice fit me correctly in my ribcage, and this feels like an absolute dream. I have already recommended her to friends and can't wait to buy from her again!! Thank you Jena 💙💙💙

5 out of 5 starsThe item was beautifully made and the shop owner accommodating. I did not understand how these work as I had never worn one before, and really wanted it to fit like in the picture - with the laces closed. She allowed the exchange for a larger size and I could not be happier!

Custom and personalized orders
I am unable to take any custom orders at this time.
Care instructions
Each bodice has a care instructions section within the listing and a garment tag with care instructions and fiber content attached in the lining.
Sizing details
A bodice is a lightly boned fitted garment for light support of a biologically female figure. It is not a corset. It is best worn over a corset although it can be worn over a bra or other supportive garment.
Because a bodice is built differently than a corset, it can't take the place of a corset. Using a bodice as a corset and tight lacing it may cause damage to any delicate outer fabrics such as silk.
Within each listing are descriptions on the best way to measure yourself and the measurements that each bodice will fit. Please measure carefully and do not reduce your measurements.
Be sure to measure with the undergarments you plan to wear under the bodice.
Gift wrapping and packaging
I do not currently offer gift wrapping or packaging.
I can ship to the recipient though, and so if you want a gift bodice sent to someone, please convo me and let's talk.
Shipping
Please check that your shipping information is correct before ordering!! I am not responsible for lost or stolen mail. Reshipment of mail is an additional $10 for USPS Priority Mail that must be paid before the your order can be reshipped.
Please see 'Returns and Exchanges' section for info on return shipping.
I ship to the United States and select countries around the world and use USPS Priority Mail or USPS First Class International. I also ship USPS Priority Mail Express (US only). You can choose these options as "upgrades" in the shipping section during checkout.
Returns and Exchanges
I do not accept returns so please measure carefully. I may be able to exchange a bodice if there is another one available.
The returned (for exchange if available) bodice must be returned in sell-able condition (clean, devoid of pet hair, with all tags, etc.). A 20% relisting fee and USPS Priority Mail shipping will be charged on exchanged items and must be paid before the exchanged bodice can be shipped to the customer. Return shipping must be paid by the customer.
Please measure carefully!! All instructions for measuring and fit are in the descriptions on each bodice listing. If you have questions, please feel free to ask.
