Question 1

What is an overbust corset?

Accepted Answer

An overbust corset extends from the hips up and over the bust, providing full torso coverage and bust support. It functions as both a corset and a top, making it a versatile fashion piece that can be worn as outerwear or layered into outfits.

Question 2

What is the difference between overbust and underbust corsets?

Accepted Answer

An overbust corset covers the bust and provides built-in support, eliminating the need for a bra. An underbust corset sits below the bust and focuses on waist shaping only. Overbust styles are ideal as standalone tops, while underbust styles are better for layering over clothing.

Question 3

Can I wear an overbust corset for waist training?

Accepted Answer

Yes, overbust corsets with steel boning are suitable for waist training. However, underbust corsets are generally preferred for daily waist training as they offer more freedom of movement and are easier to wear for extended periods.

Question 4

How should an overbust corset fit?

Accepted Answer

An overbust corset should sit snugly around the torso without pinching or causing discomfort. The bust cups should contain and support without spillage. The back lacing gap should be 2-3 inches when properly fitted. Use the LUXE NOIR Size Quiz for a personalised recommendation.
