Queen of the Swans - Madeline Stays

Introducing: the Swan Lake Collection of Madeline Stays 

Queen of the Swans - Heliotrope Velvet Madeline Stays

Clad in her velvet stays, Odette has stepped beyond the shadows of enchantment into her reign as Queen of the Swans. 

The deep violet hue, rich as twilight over a still lake, speaks of sovereignty and mystery, while the ruched black front panel — crossed with glistening satin ribbons — hints at the disciplined grace of her ballet past.

No longer the innocent White Swan nor the hunted bride, Odette wears the Heliotrope Velvet Stays as her coronation gown — a declaration that she commands both her fate and her kingdom.

Pierina Legnani is renowned for originating the the dual role of Odette-Odile in the 1895 version of Swan Lake. Her performance, particularly the 32 fouettés en tournant as Odile, became legendary and set a standard for future ballerinas. 

The corset is lined with a bonded cotton twill, ensuring durability, structure, and long-lasting wear. Ribbon ties on the shoulder straps and adjustable back lacing allows for a customized fit. Perfect for cosplay, historical fashion, cottage romance, or everyday elegance, this versatile corset can be worn on its own or layered over a T-shirt or peasant blouse for a more period-accurrate look.
