Shop now at Amazon From Amazon With some corsets, it’s all about the metal embellishments, and that’s certainly the case with this steel studded white leather corset. Though we mentioned a similar corset in this article, it was faux leather, while this beauty is the real deal. Creamy white cowhide makes for a quality corset, and this one – with its six silver buckle straps in front is a stunner.
The steel bones give it true Victorian structure and the steel studs that go from front to back add some serious shine. Add it to your goth bride costume, or wear it with jeans. Either way, it’s bound to become a favorite. Get it in waist sizes from 22 inches to 40 inches. Add this unique high collar neck corset to your outfit for an over the top steampunk look. It comes with a matching pair of lace up elbow length gauntlets as well.
If you’re planning to costume up as a goth bride, don’t leave your groom out of the picture. You can get him this men’s black leather underbust corset to make your wedding ensemble complete.
Wondering about the history of the corset and why this garment is once again in vogue? This article from The Bustle breaks it down nicely.

Shop now at Amazon From Amazon If your steampunk style is more out of this world than it is Victorian, you’re going to swoon over this black one shoulder corset.

Shop now at Amazon From Amazon We love corsets that are lace up and go, without having to search for items to layer, especially during the hot weather seasons. That’s why we think you’ll be nuts about this pretty corset top that features all the functionality of a corset, but adds sheer dotted puff sleeves and a sheer lace ruffle along the bottom.
The slimming boning adds shape and support, while the lace up back can be cinched for a tighter fit. The faux ribbon lace up front and black details make it uber feminine, and you’ll love the option to wear the sleeves either up or off the shoulder.

Shop now at Amazon From Amazon If you want a funky look but you’re also serious about taming, trimming and training your waist for a super curvaceous look, this mesh overbust corset has got to be a contender in your corset collection. With 26 flat and spiral steel bones, it’ll cinch you tight for that extreme hourglass figure. This company actually suggests you select a corset anywhere from five to 12 inches smaller than your natural waistline, so definitely read their guidelines before you order.
This sexy corset makes for a great undergarment, but it also looks equally great worn as outerwear.
