🖤 The VM Black Tapestry Cropped Corset Stays
A modern take on traditional corset stays, the VM Black Tapestry Cropped Corset Stays offer structure, comfort, and dramatic styling in a shorter, more wearable silhouette. At 10" long, this cropped design provides shaping and support while allowing greater mobility than traditional overbust corsets.
Featuring 10 pieces of 1 cm spiral steel boning, this corset delivers strong support while maintaining flexibility and comfort. Adjustable shoulder straps create a customizable fit, while the front clip closure makes the corset easy to put on and remove.
The continuous lace-up back allows you to tighten the corset without assistance — simply hook your fingers through the loops and pull for a secure fit. For comfort and easy removal, we recommend tying the laces in a bow rather than a double knot.
Lined with either 100% cotton canvas or cotton/poly broadcloth, this corset is built for durability, comfort, and long-lasting wear.
🖤 A perfect addition to your tickle trunk.
