Our friend Bonnie went to Wizard World Comic Con Philadelphia this year and wanted to go with a group of “Captains”, so she was Captain Marvel! (Haven’t seen the photos of Cap’n Crunch yet…)
Delicious Corsets made the corset for the costume and Bonnie created the rest of the costume. I’m sure it was a hit! Her smile says it all!
When she isn’t pulling the boning and underwires for your orders, our dear Meg is sewing and displaying some truly amazing Cosplay costumes!
Here she is as Rin from Love Live!

Our friend Merry G costumed a performance of “The Little Mermaid” and sent us the photos of what she created using supplies from MakingItYourself.com
Great job! Such beautiful work!
Delicious Corsets created the corset, and the lovely Lily adorned it and encrusted it with even more style! Lily created the rest of this beautiful costume!
This performance must have been amazing, the photos are stunning! Thanks for sharing!

It’s really hard to know what bra size you wear, let alone what size underwire you need.
Every company that makes bras and bra sewing patterns has their own sizing, some overlap, but often they don’t.
When viewing an underwire product page on our site you’ll notice a button along the side labeled “+ Technical Specs” – Clicking this link will display the exact measurements of the underwires.
This is what you’ll see:
If you are unsure how to get the Length, Depth, and Width use this as your guide.
The Length is measured around the curve from tip to tip. The Width is straight across from tip to tip. The Depth is measured from the center point of the Width to the bottom of the curve.
***Also, in the Technical Specs you will find a printable PDF with a tracing of all of our underwires. Print it out at 100% (make sure it isn’t set to “Fit to Page”) and you can compare our underwires to one you want to replace or your pattern.
Here are the PDF’s of all of our sizes. Print them out at 100% :
