How to Measure

Measuring around your body, holding the tape measure firmly but not too tight, it shouldn't interrupt the line of the skin or the corset may pinch. Make sure that the tape measure is even and level right the way around your body to ensure the most accurate measurement.
If your sizes do not fall into these options please email service@lingerie-queen.com for advice before proceeding to the checkout

Measure your bust, waist and hip and compare your measurements with our size guide to help you determine what size to buy. All our measurement mentioned above are in Inches.
BUST : Measure your bust - the fullest part of you bust.
WAIST : Measure your waist - the narrowest part of you - above your belly button and below your ribcage.
HIPS : Measure the fullest part of your hips - approximately 7-8 inches below your waist.

When taking your measurements to compare them against our framework, please follow the above diagram to ensure you're taking the measurements in the correct places as we are not liable for incorrect sizes and do not offer a refund policy (please see the refund section of this website).

	Corsets - Tight-fitting, body-enhancing undergarments used to be worn by women to create an hourglass-shaped silhouette. A traditional corset features boning and either a lace-up or a hook-and-eye closure, with a bust-to-hip length. Modern lingerie variations of the corset tend to be less restrictive and more comfortable.
	Under Bust Corsets - Very similar to corsets but will rise just below the under wire of your bra. Excellent for daily wear and the occasional night on the town.
	Basques - Also very similar to corsets but are always worn as underwear and tend to be boned but much less structured than a corset. Basques are tight fitting and cover the breasts whilst being shorter. A basque will give definition to the waist and smooth the stomach under clothes but it will not alter the body shape as much as a corset will.
	Bustiers - These sexy long bras extend from bosom to hip to offer support and shape. Some bustiers have detachable garters, flexible boning to give a desired shape, optional shoulder straps or lace-up closures. Bustiers and longline bras are pretty much the same.
	Waspies - A type of corselette made in 1947 to achieve the ‘nipped in’ waist effect. ‘Waspie’ is the nickname for this underwear garment. Women would wear a waspie with a special type of bra that lifted the breasts higher than normal. This combination of complicated underwear was worn by women in their forties who wanted to look as though they had retained perky breasts of their teenage years.
