ENCHANTED CUSTOM CORSET PRICE GUIDE
When shopping for a custom corset, please note that what many other corset companies consider "upgrades" and therefore additional costs, are standard and included with all Enchanted Custom Corsets. Examples: modesty panels front and back, smooth coutil interiors, concealed waist tape, "extra boning," and reinforced busk. Lisa Marie believes that these are essential components of any quality corset.
Below is a general price guide for Enchanted products. Deposits are required at the time of measurements, in the amount of 1/3 the estimated price of the finished garment, with the remaining payments being 1/3 at the time of fitting and delivery, respectively. Since you get to pick your fabric - and fabric prices vary widely - the prices below do not reflect the cost of outer fabric or any other materials not mentioned in "Inside an Enchanted Corset."
Enchanted corsets fall into two basic categories: overbust and underbust.
-
Overbust corsets start at $500.
-
Underbust corsets start at $400.
The above prices include all the standard features mentioned in "Inside an Enchanted Corset." A corset generally requires about a yard of fabric, more if you have a pattern that you would like matched up across the front.
Extras refer to basically anything that requires additional materials/drafting/finagling of persnickety fabrics and therefore, additional time. Extras are priced as follows:
-
Coutil outer layer with extra reinforcement - recommended for waist training, back support, or weight loss: $150

Natural waist of over 50": $200

CUSTOM CLOTHING PRICE GUIDE
Custom garments are priced on an hourly basis of $30/hour. How long a garment takes is dependent on how elaborate it is - if you want lace and ruffles and shirring and gathers and swags and skin tight and velvet, well, you are looking at a very expensive garment. If you are looking at getting a basic ballroom style skirt out of taffeta that comes to your ankle and has a wide ruffled hem, you are still looking at about $300, plus the cost of fabric. A budget with top and bottom limits will be established in writing before the piece(s) is commissioned.
