Gemy Maalouf Corset Dresses and Sculpted Gowns

Corsetry runs through Gemy Maalouf Fall Winter 2026, from a full boned gown to peplum tops with sculpted hips. The house builds the structure inside the garment, so the shape holds without a separate corset underneath. Coveti carries seven structured pieces from the season, from the Gemy Maalouf Square-Neck Peplum Top in Olive at $1,870 to the Gemy Maalouf Corseted Sculptural Hip Dress in Champagne at $9,280.

• The Corseted Sculptural Hip Dress ($9,280) is the season’s most structured gown, in black and champagne.
• Peplum tops come in olive and brown sequins at $1,870, with matching trousers at $1,690.
• The Strapless Feathered Corset Top is $2,490 in khaki.
• Structured pieces are made to order in US 2 to 20; the corset fit is set by bust and waist, so measure both.

The structured gowns

The Gemy Maalouf Corseted Sculptural Hip Dress in Black has a beaded, embroidered corset bodice that sits on exaggerated hips and flares into a full skirt. The Gemy Maalouf Strapless Beaded Dress in Brown is a softer take: a sculpted strapless bodice with beaded accents and a folded dropped waist. The Gemy Maalouf Feathered Hip Lace Dress in Black uses a sweetheart net bodice above feathered hips.

The corset and peplum separates

The Gemy Maalouf Strapless Feathered Corset Top in Khaki works with the Gemy Maalouf Straight-Cut Trousers in Khaki for a dinner and with a sequined long skirt for black tie. The Gemy Maalouf Square-Neck Peplum Top in Brown and Gemy Maalouf High-Waisted Sculpted Trousers in Brown make a sequined evening suit. See our peplum tops guide for how the shape flatters.

How a corset gown should fit

Choose by your bust and waist, not your hip; a structured skirt has room. The bodice should sit flat with no gaping at the top edge when you breathe in. If you sit between sizes, take the larger and have the waist taken in. Our Gemy Maalouf size guide gives the brand chart in centimetres, and our general corset dress guide covers what to wear underneath.

Who a corset gown suits

A built-in corset creates a waist, so it suits a straight frame as well as an hourglass. Sculpted hips, as on the Gemy Maalouf Corseted Sculptural Hip Dress in Black, add volume below the waist and balance broad shoulders. A pear figure does better with a strapless corset bodice over a softer skirt, as on the Gemy Maalouf Strapless Beaded Dress in Brown.

Comfort over a long evening

Boned bodices are designed to be worn for hours, but sit down in the fitting room before you commit: the top edge should not dig in and the waist should allow a full breath. Corset tops are easier to wear than corset gowns because the waistband of the skirt and trousers takes some of the work.

Styling a corset top

Pair the Gemy Maalouf Strapless Feathered Corset Top in Khaki with high-waisted trousers so the corset meets the waistband; a gap breaks the line. For black tie, wear it over a long sequined skirt like the Gemy Maalouf Sequined Slim Long Skirt in Olive. Add a bolero for arrivals; see our fur bolero guide.

Care

Store structured gowns on a padded hanger with the bodice supported; never fold a boned bodice. Specialist dry clean only. More from the season in our Fall Winter 2026 guide.
