A corset should fit more than your measurements. It should fit who you are.
before we start
Every Vanadis Couture corset begins with you : your shape, your vision, your story. I don’t work from generic patterns. I draft every piece from scratch, by hand, in my atelier in Finland, until it fits you exactly as you are.
Ordering a bespoke garment may feel overwhelming if it’s your first time, but it doesn’t have to be. I’m here to guide you through every step, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable process as we bring your dream garment to life.
A bespoke corset typically takes 2 to 4 months from consultation to completion. I work with clients worldwide, you don’t need to be in Finland for us to create something together.
1. Vision & Collaboration
Whether you have a clear idea or are just beginning to explore, I’m here to help bring your vision to life. Browse my bespoke gallery, Instagram, or gather inspiration through Pinterest.
We’ll have a consultation to discuss details like occasion, fabrics, colors, and textures. Then, I’ll present up to three design options, and we’ll fine-tune the elements you love to create a design that’s uniquely yours.
2. Materials & Measurements
Once your design is finalized, I’ll provide fabric and embellishment samples for you to choose the perfect textures and colors. You’ll receive a detailed quote at this stage — bespoke commissions start at 650€ — and I’ll take your measurements, either in person or through a video fitting, before drafting your bespoke pattern. This is when your vision begins to take shape!
3. Fittings & Refinements
With your bespoke pattern ready, I’ll create a mock-up from similar materials to test the fit. During the first fitting, we’ll mark and pin any adjustments to refine the pattern. Usually, two to three mock-ups are needed, depending on the design’s complexity, bringing us closer to your perfect, custom garment.
4. Crafting the Corset
Once you’re happy with the mock-ups, I’ll start crafting your final piece! After completing the base, we’ll have another fitting to perfect every detail. Then, we’ll move on to embellishments, the most exciting part of the process. I’ll share progress photos as we go, making sure the final touches bring your vision to life!
5. Completion
And now your bespoke garment is complete!
Once the final payment has been received, your creation will either be shipped to you delicately wrapped in acid free tissue paper and sent out in a sturdy box or will be picked up by you from my studio for you to enjoy.
Most bespoke corsets take 2 to 4 months from our first consultation to final delivery, depending on complexity and how many fittings we need. I’ll give you a personalized estimate once we’ve discussed your design.
Yes. I offer a payment plan for bespoke commissions, typically a deposit to begin, with the balance split across key milestones. We’ll agree on the details during your consultation.
That’s completely normal. Adjustments to fit are expected; larger design changes may affect timeline or cost, which I’ll always flag before moving forward.
I’ll guide you through it with a video fitting and a simple measurement guide, no experience needed. Many of my clients are outside Finland, and this works just as well.
Both. I’ll show you a curated selection of fabrics and embellishments, and if you have something specific in mind, we can discuss sourcing it together.
