Testimonials

"Hi Melanie, Oh my goodness we are over the moon excited about the dress and the corset! We purchased the Ivory Clara and it truly was the icing on the cake for this outfit! I am so impressed and happy with the incredible service shown to us. You truly made our grad dress experience unique and wonderful! You have some new followers and new corset lovers! Thank you so much! I have attached a photo and will send some good ones of her when she is photographed at grad in June. -Anna Martin"

"Thank you to Melanie and Lace Embrace.

I have known Melanie for about fifteen years. She lives and breathes corsets and since I first met her, she has been trying to sell me a corset. Over the years I had always thought “what would I, a man, want with such a thing”. However, she kept mentioning it from time to time.

Over the years, I have developed spinal stenosis and my back has become very fragile. If I am really careful and take my pain meds, I can live relatively pain free. I have gone to various doctors and had many tests. The final result is they told me to live with it. In that time I had many physiotherapy sessions and they helped a little bit. During one session about a year ago, I mentioned the corset idea to my therapist, and she thought it was a good idea. I told her that the doctors did not think it would help. She thought I should try it anyway because she felt it would take some pressure off my spine.

The back supports that you buy in the stores are useless. If you have lower back pain and want some really good firm support, I suggest you stop in at Lace Embrace and have a chat. Besides, she carries incredibly beautiful and unusual lingerie.

“ I would like to thank Maryna specifically who helped fit me into my first corset and was endlessly patient with my excitement and myriad of questions rapidly fired at her. The staff are worldly in their knowledge, friendly and so thorough in matching you with the corset of your dreams! I’ve admired corsetry my whole life and have always wanted to invest! Being able to shop locally as I’m from Vancouver where these gorgeous pieces are made and knowing I’m supporting a business run by women meant I made no compromises in quality. I’m so grateful for the work this company does and how they support, cater and care for individual needs. I just couldn’t speak highly enough of this experience and the corset I walked away deeply in love with! -Sarah Borthwick”
