Bridal & Foundation Corsetry

The most experienced name in modern corsetry, Dark Garden has been handcrafting world class corsets in San Francisco since 1989. Each corset is expertly sewn on-site in our Hayes Valley boutique atelier. We create styles for every size, age, gender, and aesthetic. Our legendary corsets, in standard or bespoke fit, make an excellent foundation for wedding gowns and other special occasion attire.

You’ll love our standard fit corsets. They fit like no other, because they are based on decades of experience with custom work.

Our team is composed of avid corset-wearers, so we can personally attest to the fit, comfort, and construction of each style.

Thanks to our expert in-house production staff, we create pieces with artisan-level quality with manufacturing-level consistency and turnaround. We call our particular take on slow fashion, “small batch corsetry.”

Popular Styles

In most cases, an overbust is the popular choice for a formal foundation corset. Overbust corsets offer strapless support, lifting the bust from below without creating irregular bands of pressure. In a bespoke fit, even a daring low back can be accommodated.
