Our overbust corset is perfect for if you want to wear your corset as outerwear, either as a corset top, or peeking out from under a sheer blouse. If you are experienced in wearing waist training corsets it's also an ideal backup for when you want to wear an overbust.

Classic Satin Overbust Corset

All of our corsets are designed to be worn for both fashion and waist training, to cinch your waist. However, if you are looking for a corset to use for daily waist training we do recommend wearing an underbust corset which is less restrictive on your torso, easier to stealth (hide) under clothing, and easier to cinch.

Our corsets are made from matt satin, bonded to 100% cotton, with a 100% cotton lining in baby pink. There is an internal cotton waist tape.

The busk is Spring steel, with one steel flat bone being placed next to the busk and a flat bone on either side of the 2 piece lacing eyelets.

The satin is 100% polyester, lining 100% cotton. There is a modesty panel included with our overbust corset. It’s specialist dry clean and ethically made in Thailand.

Please note that suspender straps are not included with any of our corsets. But you can always wear our Maitresse or Harlow suspender belts under the corset to get our models' look.

Fitting Room: Corset Sizing

How to measure for a corset

Our Corsets are sized by 'reduced waist size'. This means the size of the corset when fully closed. For example, a size 24" corset will measure 24" when fully closed. To determine your corset size you need to measure your waist firmly and deduct a number of inches.

Please note that your jean size is not your waist measurement! You need to measure the narrowest part of your torso which is a lot higher up. The amount of inches you take off will depend on a variety of factors, including the corset style and your build, but is generally between 3 and 5 inches (precise details are included for by corset style).

Please be aware that you need to check your measurements before ordering. For our Underbust Corsets we supply both the vertical lengths and circumference . Please compare your measurements to ours to determine which corset will be right for your figure type.

Finally, be aware that the top and bottom corset measurement we provide are for the corset being entirely closed at the back. It is pretty standard to aim for a gap of 2".

Corset Measurements

You can find the measurements for each corset in the product descrption. If you would like to compare all of our corsets at once, the button below takes you to a Google Doc Spreadsheet where you can see the measurements for all our corsets side by side. This is easier than looking at each corset style separately on our site. Hover over the little triangles for extra information.

Corset Q&As

Why the Cut of your corset Matters

Your measurements are far more important than the style of corset you like on our website. In this video I wear some of our corsets to show you that not every corset suit every figure and why you need to choose the corset that comes closest to your natural measurements for the best fit.

Do I Need a Bespoke (Custom Corset?)

Standard Vs Extreme Corsets

I developed the first corset line for What Katie Did in 2004, and over the years, have refined our designs into a capsule collection that is designed to suit a wide range of different figure shapes, torso lengths and sizes.

Unique to What Katie Did is our range of standard and extreme underbust corsets. You can start with the standard version of one of our corsets then move on to the extreme version if you want to take your waist training further.

Your Squishability!

Our corsets come in reduced waist sizes 18" to 34" which roughly equals UK dress sizes 8-18, US dress sizes 4 to 14.

If you are a UK dress size 8 (US 4) you will have less body fat than if you are a UK dress size 18 (US 14), so it will be harder for you to immediately get a dramatic corseted shape. We recommend you stick with the sizing recommendations for each of our corsets, which can be seen by clicking the sizing tab at the top of each product description.

If you are a UK dress size 12-14 (US 8-10) you should be able to get a great corseted shape, without too much effort and without worrying too much about flub at the top and bottom of the corset. Again, you need to go by our sizing recommendations. The only thing that might cause you difficultly is if you are very athletic and have a high muscle to fat ratio. Then, like your more slender friends, you will find it harder to waist train as muscle is far less squishy than fat.

If you are a UK dress size 16 (US 12) or above, then you're in luck as fat is squishy and you'll be able to quickly tight lace yourself to create hourglass curves. You might want to go for a size smaller than stated as it's common for curvier girls to be able to reduce their waist by 6 or even 7 inches with one of our curvier corsets! However, please check the rib and hip measurements of our corsets before doing this as if they are too small for you, they will result in what can only be called, rather unglamorously, flub.

Comparing Waist Cinchers & Corsets

Cinchers, waspies, corsets oh my!

If you're confused about the different waist shaping garments available we've put together a video not only explaining the differences, but showing each garment on model Miss Sugar Rush so you can really see the difference.

Our Demi Waspies and Corsets are half way between a powermesh waist cincher/waspie and full non stretch corset.

Extras: Modesty Panels

A modesty panel is a piece of fabric that covers the gap between the your corset lacing and your back.

All of our corsets used to include a modesty panel, but as people tend to either love them or hate them we now sell them as an optional extra with our underbust corsets. They are still included with our overbust corsets which are more likely to be on show.

If you are wearing your corset with a corset liner, then you really don't need a modesty panel. However, if you do wear your corset over clothing you might like to wear one as it can look neater.

Our modesty panels can be laced in to your corset, or simply slotted in.

**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
