{"title":"Plus Size Gothic Corsets","description":"\u003cp\u003ePlus size gothic corsets are built the same way as the standard cut, with a wider back panel and longer lacing. That is not a compromise: it widens the adjustment range, so a laced plus size corset covers more centimetres than a smaller one does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOverbust and underbust plus size corsets\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn overbust plus size corset covers the bust and works as a standalone top with a skirt or wide trousers, which makes it the simpler option if you do not want to layer. An underbust corset stops below the bust and goes over a shirt, bodysuit or dress, so it fits into outfits you already own. Underbust is the easier of the two to size, because you are only matching the waist and ribcage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePlus size corset tops\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA plus size corset top ends at the natural waist and is worn as a top rather than as shaping underwear, usually with lighter boning and a zip instead of full lacing. It pairs with high-waisted jeans, cargo trousers and skirts, and because it needs less tightening it holds up through a full day rather than an evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to choose your size\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCorset sizing does not follow dress sizing. Take your underbust and natural waist circumference and compare them against the table on the product page rather than picking your usual size. If you fall between two sizes, the larger one with the lacing pulled tighter fits better than the smaller one at full stretch. A wider modesty panel and steel eyelets rather than pressed ones make a real difference over several hours of wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe rest of the extended range sits in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/gothic-plus-size-clothing\"\u003egothic plus size clothing\u003c\/a\u003e, and the full corset selection in standard sizing is in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/gothic-corsets\"\u003egothic corsets\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/castle-gothic.com\/collections\/gothic-plus-size-corsets-1.oembed","provider":"Castle Gothic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
