Dominique Cassidy  / COUTURE BRIDAL

If I could give more stars, I would! I had the custom wedding ensemble of my dreams created, and the process was nothing short of magical. ... I was immediately welcomed by Melanie—who not only understood my vision but expanded it with her creativity and knowledge ... When I once worried about the soft rustle my fabric made, she smiled and explained that historically, women wanted to be heard as they entered a room—that the sound symbolized presence and sensuality. It’s those small details, along with the craftsmanship, that added to the magic I’m not sure you’d find anywhere else. The final result was a timeless, sculptural gown that felt both powerful and deeply personal. The entire experience was so positive, and I’ll be forever grateful to Melanie and Lace Embrace for making this such a meaningful and joyful journey.

I'm using a Cincher as medical compression for dsyauntonomia. If you are someone who has to wear compression tights, you can appreciate what a relief it is to have something as cute and fun to wear every day to preserve your ability to walk upright, instead of scratchy hot compression tights. So nice to have this option. The petite Cincher corset/waist trainer works great for medically-required abdominal compression. Highly recommend.

Want a beautiful corset or something else romantic to bring your vision to life? This artfully curated store features couture inspired and custom made turn-of-the-century inspired underpinnings and garments. Complimented by nylons, stockings, accessories, parasols, jewellery, and vintage finds, it will inspire you. There is a wonderfully quirky museum at the back of genuine antique undergarments to view for a small donation. The staff are fully versed in corest fitting and will assist you every step of the way whether you buy off the rack or want to have something special made.

Lydia X.  / CORSET ENTHUSIAST

Lovely shop just off of Main Street. While the main focus is bridal and corsetry, they also stock lingerie and vintage clothing. Carmen and Melanie are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Carmen got me started with my first corset, and I've been buying from them ever since. She's been my go-to person for every order I've placed, and is truly a joy to work with. I've had some of my older corsets altered here as well and they've done a fantastic job every time. The custom corsets are a bit pricey, but the quality is outstanding. You can customise every detail, and it truly is an experience. Off the rack corsets are more affordable and you can get them altered for a small fee. Book a fitting to ensure you can get focused support when you arrive! If you want to support slow fashion and a shop that's passionate about what they do, this is the place.

Lace Embrace has been crafting corsets for nearly three decades, blending historical knowledge with modern comfort and ethical production. Every piece reflects a deep respect for the body, the craft, and the individual wearing it.
