Mirtessa Corset – Feminine Power

750.00

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.

Corset sizes are calculated with an average waist reduction of approximately 7 cm for a comfortable fit.

    ✂️ 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.


    🧵 Custom Size:

    If your measurements span across multiple sizes (e.g., waist = S, middle hip = L), we offer made-to-measure adjustments.
    Message us before ordering, and we’ll help ensure the perfect fit for your body and your fantasy.


    🔁 Return Policy:

    Each corset is handmade to order, so we cannot accept returns or exchanges.

    That said — if you’re unsure about sizing or fit, reach out before placing an order. We’re here to guide you and make sure your corset fits like a dream.
