Dearest corset enthusiast,
These terms outline the foundation of our relationship with you, much like the steel boning provides structure to our exquisite corsetry. Please read them carefully before gracing us with your order.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing corsetstoryfashion.com or placing an order, you agree to be bound by these terms. We reserve the right to update these terms as our collection evolves, with changes effective immediately upon posting.

2. Our Corsetry Philosophy

Product Authenticity

Each corset is handcrafted with the precision of Victorian dressmakers. Colors may vary slightly due to monitor settings and the natural characteristics of fabrics.

Sizing Guidance

Our sizing follows traditional corsetry measurements. We provide detailed fitting guides to help you select your silhouette. Custom-made pieces require exact measurements and are non-returnable.

Materials

All corsets feature steel boning unless otherwise specified. Fabrics range from couture satins to authentic PVC for our avant-garde collections.

3. Ordering Process

Order Formation

Your order represents an offer to purchase which we accept when we send shipping confirmation. We reserve the right to cancel orders for items no longer available.

International Considerations
