Our Story

What started many years ago with a simple request to create a wrist brace, eventually evolved into a vast skillset in the field of creating support garments to soothe and support the human body. 

For decades now, we have been working with customers with a variety of different medical needs, to build structural support garments that provide relief from pain and improve their overall comfort and well-being.

Sandra  / Scoliocis Brace

With my severe scoliosis comes a whole bunch of negative body image feelings and thoughts. Throughout my custom medical corset fittings, Melanie and staff made me feel at ease, accepted, and comfortable in my own skin...a rare gift! Their dedication to making sure my corset fit me perfectly never wavered, leading to a corset that both takes my pain and discomfort away and is gorgeous as well! So thankful for Lace Embrace Atelier!!

Joy Rowe  / Compression

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
