Can you waist train in an overbust corset?

While an overbust corset can reduce the waist and create a dramatic hourglass silhouette, most experienced corset wearers prefer underbust corsets for serious daily waist training. Overbust styles cover the bust as well as the waist, which can make them less flexible and harder to fit perfectly for extended wear. An overbust corset is usually chosen for its glamorous silhouette, bust support, and statement look rather than intensive waist training.

Are overbust corsets harder to fit?

Yes: overbust corsets are generally more difficult to fit than underbust styles because they must accommodate the bust, ribcage, waist, and torso length all at once. Factors such as bust shape, cup fullness, and height can all affect the fit. A well-designed overbust corset should support the bust comfortably without digging in, gaping, or compressing excessively.

Why choose an overbust corset?

An overbust corset creates one of the most dramatic vintage silhouettes possible, combining waist shaping and bust support in a single garment. The look is instantly associated with old Hollywood glamour, Victorian corsetry, and classic burlesque styling. Our overbust corset is made from elegant demi matt duchess satin with steel boning for a smooth, sculpted line that works beautifully as both lingerie and outerwear.

This satin corset is fully steel boned with a spring steel busk at the front, reinforced with flat steel bones for strength and support. Additional boning runs alongside the busk and lacing eyelets to prevent twisting and ensure a smooth, cinched fit. A modesty panel allows you to adjust your look, whether you prefer a sleek finish or a hint of contrast.

Suspender straps are not included, but this overbust corset pairs beautifully with our Maitresse and Harlow suspender belts to complete the What Katie Did aesthetic.

Perfect for creating a timelessly cinched waist, this beautiful corset is a wardrobe essential for anyone seeking vintage-inspired elegance with dependable shaping.

Very happy

Great purchase. Beautiful piece , very happy with the fit, the size, the quality.

Love her!!

Was a bit nervous about sizing but website instructions made it very clear and ordered the right size first time!

Beautiful, well made corset and surprisingly comfortable!

**If you have an athletic shape and square glutes (if your booty is narrow from the front but big from the side**

Oh it’s going to be good. This corset has such a beautiful cut that it will make you appear to have the coveted S shape before it even fully laced.
The modesty panel is effortless to adjust throughout the lacing process and it’s also perfectly proportionate to the size of the corset!

Fits waist and bust perfectly but if your pelvis has hip dips this does not create that uniform hip curve on the lower body (hip dips are still visible) even if laced in a V shape with closure at the hips. My anatomy is an athletic shape with natural hip dips and a short waist. My hip dips do not disappear with fat reduction.
I am 5”4, 29 waist, 34 hips, and a 35 bust BUT I have implants that make my bra size a US 34G. I also have wide lats. Finding corsets is a challenge for my figure type so I just wanted to write something for others built like me 😘

Perfect as always!

All my corsets are WKD, they really do it better than everyone else + the team is the nicest! x

Love my corset

This is exactly the corset I was looking for. I use it in Burlesque. I think it is perfect for this, maybe more difficult to wear as an everyday (some other corsets are made for this). The description it absolutely true, I'm DD cup and the result is so lovely, flattering the bust, and underline the waist!
