The VM Velvet Corset

The VM Velvet Corset

Hi there! I’m so happy you decided to stop by. You have excellent taste in corsets! Please review the size chart as Venus & Mars corsets tend to fit larger than mass manufactured ones.

The VM Velvet Corset uses 12 pieces of 1 cm spiral steel boning to give you all the support you need while still allowing for flexibility and comfort. They are lined with either a 100% cotton canvas or broad cloth which is a cotton poly bend.

The clips in the front allow for ease when putting on or removing the corset. The continuous lace up in the back is designed to make it simple for you to tighten your corset without any help - simply hook your fingers through the loops and pull. Side note, we suggest tying the laces in a bow, not a double knot.

Care instructions: We recommend dry cleaning your corset, however to extend the time between dry cleaning, you can spot clean your corset with a damp rag or steam your corset if you have a steamer. Taking a really hot shower and hanging your corset in your bathroom (not in the shower with you) can also help freshen up your corset. PLEASE DO NOT put your corset in the washer and dryer. I’m not your mom, and I can’t stop you but believe me, it’s a bad idea.
