Solace London Corset Gowns: Boned Bodices, Fit and Sizing

A Solace London corset gown is a floor-length evening dress built on a boned, shaped bodice that holds its line without straps. It is the house’s most formal silhouette and its most fitted, and it sits alongside the wider edit of designer corset gowns at Coveti. On 7 November 2026 we stock 25 Solace London pieces described by the house as corseted and boned, from $1,020 to $1,580.

The pieces compared

How we built this table: construction, fit and shell composition are taken word for word from each style’s page on solacelondon.com; colourways, prices and the sizes Coveti holds come from our live catalogue on 7 November 2026. Nothing is estimated. Where the house publishes nothing, the cell would read “Not published by the house”.

What the boning does

Boning is a set of flexible stays sewn into the bodice seams. It keeps a strapless neckline up and a waist defined without any help from the shoulders. Solace London describes most of these styles as designed to sculpt the body with minimal stretch, which means the size you order is the size you get: the cloth will not give to make up the difference. The Seri, for example, has a boned bodice for support, a concealed side zip and a centre back split, in a medium weight twill with subtle sheen combined with a lightly textured bonded crepe.

Getting the size right

Measure your bust and waist before you order and compare them with the house chart in our Solace London size guide. If you sit between two sizes on a boned style, the waist measurement usually decides it, since that is where a corset is least forgiving. A tailor can take a bodice in more easily than let it out.

The off-the-shoulder corset styles, the Alta and the Pieta, sit across the upper arm. That line needs room to lift your arms, so check the fit with your arms raised as well as at rest.

Corset gowns around the world

• US: Solace London cuts in UK sizes, so subtract four for your US size: a UK 8 is a US 4 and a UK 16 is a US 12.
• UK: UK sizes 4 to 16 are the house’s own scale, so order your usual size and check the fit line in the table above. Boned gowns are the standard choice for British black tie and for evening wedding receptions.
• EU: Add 28 to the UK size for the European equivalent: a UK 8 is an EU 36 and a UK 12 is an EU 40.
• GCC: The same UK sizes apply in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait.
