This corset is inspired by Veronica Franco – courtesan, poet, and one of the most powerful and independent women of 16th-century Venice.
She wrote of desire, defended women’s right to speak, and left behind not just words, but a legacy of strength.
Renaissance courtesans were not merely seductresses.
They studied philosophy, wrote poetry, and collected classical art. Their passion for ancient Roman culture was part of their identity – a way to claim space as intellectual, sensual, and equal.
Embroidered on the corset is the head of an antique statue – a symbol of this connection.
A female figure beyond time. A reminder that the body is also culture – and that a woman can be both art and artist.
On the surface: a myrtle branch, sacred to Venus. In Ancient Rome, myrtle symbolized love, femininity, and freedom. A discreet mark, meaningful to those who know.
And on the lining, closest to the body, are lines from a 1575 sonnet by Veronica Franco:
Anch’io lo ’ncendio che mi strugge il seno,
Sempre più bramerei che s’augumentasse.
And I too would wish the fire that burns my breast
To grow stronger still.
Words meant only for you. Or for the one you choose to let in.

✂️ How to Take Measurements
To select the correct size, take these three key measurements:
-
Waist – Measure at the narrowest part of your torso.
-
Underbust – Measure directly under your bust, keeping the tape horizontal.
-
Middle Hip – Measure around your upper hips, about 8–10 cm below the waist.
Tips for accurate measuring:
-
Measure over thin underwear or on bare skin.
-
Keep the tape snug, not tight.
-
Stand upright, use a mirror or ask for assistance.

If your measurements span across multiple sizes (e.g., waist = S, middle hip = L), we offer made-to-measure adjustments.
