Fit Issues? Let us help

My bra straps keep slipping down

The first fix for this is to tighten the straps using the metal adjusters. But if your straps keep slipping, we recommend going down a band size.

My bra straps are digging in

Your bra straps should never dig in. To ensure your straps aren’t too tight you should be able to lift them 1 inch (about 2 fingers) away your shoulders. Loosen your straps using the adjusters. If they are still digging in, we recommend going down a band size. If they’re still too tight, you may need to go up one cup size.

My band is sitting too low.

Adjust your straps to make sure they are tight enough. If your band is still too low, try wearing your bra on the first row of hooks. If the problem us still there, you need a smaller band size.

My band is riding up

Your band should sit in a straight line across your back. If your band is riding up, your straps or your band might be too tight. Try loosening your straps, if this is still happening, you may need a bigger band size or a bigger cup size.

My corset is painful

While it’s normal for them to feel tight, corsets should never hurt or feel uncomfortable. Make sure your corset is evenly tightened and properly laced, we suggest a recommend a 2 - 4 " lacing gap. If your corset is still painful you may need to go up a size, or try one of our lower coverage styles.

Corset Size Guide

Measuring your body for a corset is an essential step in ensuring your product fits your body correctly. An ill fitting corset can cause risks to your health, as well as be extremely uncomfortable. We recommend following the Scarlet Gasque corset measuring tips to make sure your new corset is a work of art, rather than a pain in the derriere. 

How to Measure Yourself

1. The Underbust - Measure right at your bra line. Make sure you measure parallel to the ground.
2. Natural Waist - Measure where you bend side to side. Usually about 1" above your belly button.
3. Upper Hip - Measure at or just below your hip bone. Just above where you bend when you sit.
4. Torso Length - Sit in a chair, place the measuring tape centred under your breast and extend the tape to the top of your thigh. Be sure to sit straight.
