Axfords is a company that produces and markets superior quality corsets the world over. Axfords corsets are made by using modern technologies and combining them with the beloved Victorian traditions. These traditions include maintaining the unique look of a corset while making it appropriate for wear under an article of clothing, alone with a pair of jeans or a skirt, or provocatively in a romantic setting. Whatever your choice, an Axfords corset is guaranteed to make a statement to both you and your partner.

Axfords Corsets was started in 1880 and has remained a family owned business ever since. The running of the company has been passed down from generation to generation and continues to be a family tradition. The current owner is Michael Hammond and he took over the business when his mother retired in 1993. He is dedicated to the same standards of quality that have made Axfords a well-known name in the corset world.

Axford employees take great pride in the superior quality of each and every garment made under their name. All corsets are manufactured in Brighton, England and each corset is produced by one corsetiere only. This is very different from most companies who use machinery and an assembly line of workers to mass produce lesser quality garments.

As stated above, all Axfords corsets are made by hand and must meet some extremely high standards before they can be put up for sale. Each corset is also signed by the corsetiere. The front fastenings are made of stainless steel busks that are strong enough for long wear. The satin used in the bodice is a special blend that is made especially for Axfords. The corset is stiffened by spiral boning made of steel. All eyelets are reinforced and are put in by hand, not machine. Laces, ranging from 4 yards to 10 yards are then threaded into each eyelet.

Not only do Axfords corsets feel beautiful, they are truly a thing of art to look at. You wil feel very special if you ever get the chance to wear an Axfords corset.

If you are looking for some form of waist reduction, you should consider the satin underbust corset made by Axford. It has fluted panels which will flatten your stomach and emphasize your curves. The outline of the corset cannot be seen under your clothing, so it is possible to wear one with almost anything. The lace-up back and front closure, combined with a lining made of cotton will help you to be as comfortable as is humanly possible in a corset.

If you are looking for that hourglass figure, but want something that looks casual and smart at the same time, then you should consider the cocktail corset. It is made to be worn over a pair of jeans and, when coupled with a single piece of jewelry, looks incredibly elegant. This is a unique look that is guaranteed to turn the heads of everyone in the room when you walk in.
