TESTIMONIALS
"I absolutely adore my new corset from Enchanted. My corset accentuates all the proper areas and it fits perfectly; snug but comfortable. It is sexy, but also elegant. Lisa Marie was very professional and fantastic to work with. I appreciated all the personal time she took to assist me in choosing the appropriate fabric and she made excellent suggestions regarding my mock-up. She is very knowledgeable about corsets and her designs are beautiful. I am so impressed with the quality craftsmanship and her attention to detail that I have already started planning a new waist cincher. I highly recommend Enchanted to anyone looking to purchase a corset; it is well worth the money!"

"In a world of “Instant”, “Now”, and “On Demand”, it is nice to find an establishment like Enchanted that follows “Old World” techniques, aesthetics, and craftswomanship. My waist cincher fits me as if it’s an extension of me, not just a prop, and is as beautiful on the inside as the outside in the true tradition of Haute Couture. If you’re in the market for a custom corset ….I’d highly recommend Enchanted Corsets……"

"Prior to my Enchanted corset, I had NO IDEA how clothes should fit!! Now I have a beautiful corset that fits perfectly and a gorgeous skirt that get me compliments everywhere I go. Not only did she do beautiful work, she put endless effort into making sure it was exactly what I wanted, even though I chose tricky fabric and had a really fuzzy image at the start of the project.... I would (and do) recommend Enchanted for all of your custom apparel needs."

"I love my corset! I wear it almost everyday. It's absolutely beautiful, and I get so many compliments when I wear it. So many people have asked if I've lost weight, and when I show the corset off, everyone wants to know where I got it. You did such a great job. It's perfect all the way down to the little meticulous details, including the custom garters. And no one else has one like it, which is awesome. I'm really impressed. Thanks so much!"

"For 24/7 tightlacing, a high quality made to fit corset is imperative to both comfort and health.
These are the only corsets I trust for my daily use.
Strong, beautiful, and finely crafted, nothing could be more worth the investment."

"My corsets from Enchanted have incredible comfort and lift, with a slimming profile that is way easier than dieting. With the waist training my cincher acheives, I love going out and showing it off. It also looks great on it's own - while not recomended for general public consumption, the boy seems to like it! Fun process in helping to create just what I wanted. Now, I am looking forward to getting an overbust." ​

I have been enjoying corsets made by Lisa Marie of Enchanted Custom Corsets for 12 years. Her corsets help me feel more feminine - I so enjoy the narrow, defined waist a corset provides, helping me look great and feel good in a dress or skirt (especially with 4” heels!). Then there are the compliments on how I look, which make me feel even better! Even when I am not wearing a dress, I love the feel of her corsets... The
gentle tightness across my chest and abdomen, the flat tummy, and the secure fit around my hips, all so comfortable with everything in its place.
And, because of her care and expertise in fitting (no shortcuts here!), the break-in time for one of her new corsets is minimal, compared with a month or two of discomfort for corsets made by others. I would wear a corset all the time if I
could, and I do wear mine all day during the cooler months except when showering and exercising. During hot and humid summers, though, I give in to practicality and limit my corset time to the nights while eagerly anticipating the return of cooler days and once again being corseted 23/7. I have been wearing corsets now for 23 wonderful years and they are part of my life. I wouldn’t change a thing, except perhaps to have started sooner. I can still remember the thrill of being laced up for the first time and the incredible feel of the corset.
Then and there I knew tightlacing was for me and I would wear a corset everyday for as long as I could. Despite this daily wear, my corsets from Enchanted have held up remarkably well. I replace them at about 18 months because they begin to look tired, but I could wear
them even longer. The premium laces in particular have held up much better than I expected, and the original set lasts the entire life of each corset. Her corsets really do stand the test of time, and Lisa Marie keeps my pattern (same size so far!) which makes it easy to order the replacement.
What else can I say? She makes beautiful corsets of the highest quality, and I have been happy to wear them all these years. I consider myself so fortunate to have found Lisa Marie – not just because she is so good at what she does, but because of who she is: a very caring person who accepts and supports others without judgment. Lisa Marie is a friend whose corsets help me feel and look like the woman I believe I am.

"Getting a custom fitted corset from Enchanted has been a great experience, Lisa Marie is very kind and professional, and her work is exceptional as well.
The fitting experience was extremely pleasant and stress-free, Lisa Marie is very understanding and patient with people of different gender identities, which was very important to me when finding the right seamstress for this.
My corset fitted better than I thought it would, I had no idea a corset could be that comfortable to wear! It looks beautiful as well, to the point where I don't want to take it off! Putting it on the first time, I was stunned by the immediate difference in my figure, I could not stop posing in the mirror! It's given me an incredible boost in confidence, and I've been wearing it as much as possible ever since. The corset looks incredible, and is
exactly how I requested it after going over the different color and design options. I was going to use it initially for shaping and slimming my waist underneath my outfits, but it looks so good that now I'm looking for excuses to show it off!
​
After getting used to the slight squeeze it's easy to forget I'm even wearing it because of how comfortable it is, to the point where I've unintentionally fallen asleep in it! I didn't realize how much of a difference custom measurements would make. It's extremely easy to put on, tighten, and take off. It doesn't shift or move even while doing physical activities like jogging, and on top of that it just looks excellent compared to a non-custom corset, because it was made to fit me.
Overall I'm stunned by the quality and the care put into my corset, it has exceeded my expectations and I absolutely recommend coming to Enchanted for your corset!"​

"I was unsure of how tight lacing worked, the results to expect, and the time frame in which to expect them. However, after a brief conversation with Lisa Marie, I was able to gain much insight in regards to corset training and tight lacing. She promptly addressed all of my questions and concerns, as well as helped me set goals and timelines.... I then scheduled an appointment for my consultation and measurements.
The consultation was quite a pleasant experience. Lisa Marie took exacting measurements, and I was able to customize my corset, from color, to fabric, busk, and laces. We then scheduled a date for a mock-up fitting to ensure my corset was tailored to the exact shape of my body. The mock-up fit me better than any other corset I have worn, so I knew that the final product would be fantastic!
On the day I picked up my corset, I was pleased to find a nicely wrapped box containing my garment, as well as a detailed tutorial from Lisa Marie on how to lace my corset. It fits like a dream, is well made, and has meticulous attention to detail - a work of art!
Within two months of wearing my tight lacing corset, I have noticed a dramatic improvement in the shape of my body. I have lost an inch off my natural waistline and am the recipient of many flattering compliments from my friends. Also, my natural posture became impeccable, my back pain alleviated, and my sleep greatly improved from wearing the corset through the night.
I am quite pleased with my corset, and anticipate buying another one soon."

"Lisa Marie came to my rescue when the person that was supposed to make my wedding corset wasn’t coming through and the wedding was soon approaching. She made me the most fabulous corset and matching skirts in plenty of time for the wedding. My corset transformed my body to one with enviable contours and was comfortable enough to wear for more than ten hours. Every time we see our friends there is always a conversation about how fabulous my dress was. Since my wedding, Lisa Marie has made me several more beautiful corsets including a corset/gown and an under-bust corset that I can wear with anything."
~ Jennifer
"Having a custom-made ensemble for my wedding made the day perfect. I have a very curvy figure and never would've found an off-the-shelf dress that fits. The fitting process was precise and timely and Lisa Marie was very flexible and resourceful in making my vision a reality. I came to her with oddly-sized pieces of fabric and she made an absolutely wonderful gown for me. My gown consisted of a paneled skirt with a train and an overbust corset made of sapphire blue silk, some of which was embroidered with a vine pattern. Everyone complimented me on how stunning it was. I would highly recommend working with Enchanted Corsets on your wedding ensemble; nothing from a store will come anywhere close to the quality and fit that you will get from Enchanted."

Lisa Marie is a truly talented designer. Her precise measurements, tasteful artistry and bountiful
knowledge are what make her pieces special. She turned my dream wedding dress into a luxurious reality beyond my expectations. She heard me out at every step, but trust me when I say, let her take the wheel- she knows best! When I wear the ensemble my head is held high, I feel divine and both comfortable in my skin and in the garment!

"I wanted something worthy of the occasion - for once in my life, to have something that would fit and flatter my unique shape. Enchanted provided all of these things, within my budget, and in less time than is usually required to get... other dresses even altered! Lisa Marie was right on time for everything, figured out the design I wanted... from my not-so-precise mental meanderings, and the skirt moved like a dream...."

Suddenly, I was engaged to be married. After an appropriate amount of time basking in the absolute delight of it all, the dread over what on Earth I was going to wear started to creep in. Thank goodness for Lisa Marie of Enchanted Corsets! I am emphatically not the sort of bride who has been working out wedding details since before I could vote, so I had to start the thought process from square one. I do not have what you might say are proportions that are easily accommodated by off-the-shelf clothing, which was sort of fine because nothing I encountered during hours of increasingly frantic online searches for wedding dress options looked much like something I would want to wear (even if a professional could convince the garment to fit me in the first place).
There are so few excuses in my life to wear them, but I have always loved a good outerwear corset. Lisa Marie appeared to be on the top of the list of custom corset makers in my area, so I gave her a call and we got to scheming. I started by making a rough pencil sketch of what I was thinking, and over the course of a few months, she took that sketch and made it a reality.

Doubly impressive is that I was not sketching with any real knowledge of corsetry or dressmaking in mind, but despite my drawing being more fantasy than informed design, it happened anyway. Lisa Marie was a delight to work with, and exactly as detail oriented as I would hope for in someone working on such a significant piece as a once-in-a-lifetime wedding ensemble, which is to say "extremely detail oriented". The final piece was perfectly me, and I truly admire the work she did to make that happen.

"In 2008, I had a full spinal fusion procedure, excluding only my neck. At the time of the surgery, my physicians were not aware that even though they corrected my spine, my ribcage was going to continue to expand into an oblong shape. Nine years later, I would soon be unable to fully to inflate my right lung, and I had pain running down my right arm as my nerves were drawn tight around my warped rib cage. My doctor said that current rib support braces are not very effective for women as they do not accommodate the breasts. He suggested that a modern corset might offer the support I need, and hence I found Lisa Marie of Enchanted Corsets.
Lisa Marie was incredibly knowledgable and designed a piece that was supportive in all the right ways. The first few days of wearing my attractive black brocade corset were a little uncomfortable, as I wasn’t used to wearing such a form fitting garment. However, since the initial break in period, I feel far better than I have in years. The nerve problems are almost entirely gone and the support to my ribcage has prevented it from further warping, even resulting in some correction to my alignment.
I now wear my corset three to four days a week and feel much more confident about the future of my physical body. I highly recommend Lisa Marie as a designer, as well as a source for possible spinal support corsets."

"I love my corsets - of course they are both gorgeous and make me look like a curvaceous, hot young thing - despite my 51 years on the planet!
What I really want to share is how much better my back feels when I wear my corset. After having five babies, my left SI (sacroiliac) joint was overly mobile and resulted in daily excruciating pain. I also had a large abdominal muscle separation (rectus diastasis), leaving my back weak and unable to compensate for the hip instability. A friend of mine had surgery to rejoin her muscles, but after wearing my first Enchanted corset for about six weeks I noticed that the huge gap had closed! I don't know how much the surgery cost, but my corset certainly saved me a bundle and all the time and pain of a surgical repair. My corset gives me such stability and gorgeous posture that my back problems are greatly diminished, only recurring if I do too much without wearing it.
Now that I have two corsets, I can use the older, slightly larger one when hiking or working and be very comfortable - I can even snowshoe or do other fairly strenuous activities. Corseting has become a regular part of my life and I am already fantasizing about the next one, so get your swatches ready!"

Enchanted Corsets has completely changed my life! I have always been a very curvy plus sized lady, and struggled with traditional bras for the weight they put on my shoulders, but thought that was the only option. Then, four years ago I had my twins in an emergency c-section involving a T incision which seriously injured my abdominal muscles. My scar goes almost from hip bone to hip bone to give an idea how extensive the cuts had to be. I did physical therapy, but kept having horrible back spasms from trying to support everything. My doctor gave me a medical binder to try to help support my abdomen more, but it was not very comfortable.

Enter Lisa Marie with Enchanted Corsets. From the first moment I met with her, I knew I was in good hands. I sew for fun, but her samples left me amazed at the craftsmanship. She did multiple fittings to ensure that I would have the perfect support garment, and I ended up selecting an overbust corset so I would not have to bother with bras anymore either. There was a learning curve - the first day it took me over a half an hour to put it on, but now I'm down to four minutes. I have bought three corsets of the same design and each one is just as perfect as the last.
​
I wear my corset almost every day (I don't wear them when I'll be doing yard work in the summer, besides that I have one on) and my back spasms have completely gone away. My abdominal scarring and muscle damage will never completely disappear, but wearing a custom corset has made my life feel back to normal. I now get very angry at historical fiction that describes corsets as medieval torture devices. I walk up three flights of stairs for work every day, carrying a heavy bag, and my corset actively helps me do this without pain. From 7 AM until 8 PM I wear my corset. It is snug enough to hold everything in but not tight laced to where I can't breath or eat. If you suffer from any of the issues I do, I highly recommend ordering a custom corset. Our ancestors had this one figured out: corsets are far superior to the modern bra, especially for anyone over a size 8.

"After years of chronic neck pain, balance issues, and frequent headaches, I was diagnosed with cervical-disc narrowing (CDN). Between that and being very full breasted, I started looking into medical corsets, and found Lisa Marie of Enchanted Custom Corsets. She responded with genuine empathy to my story, wanting to help relieve my pain as soon as possible.
I had no idea how much goes into a custom corset! ​
At the first fitting, I was amazed at the pain relief and support - it held up “the girls”, corrected my posture, relieved neck pain, and for the first time in 10 years, the pain was just GONE! And this was just the first fitting! When we put the finished corset on and Lisa Marie asked how it felt, “I feel nothing!” was my first response - no pain, no weight of my breasts, just comfortable. The fabric was soft, sturdy, and very pretty, *and* I had a defined waistline (a big deal after three kids and some weight gain).
I wore my first corset for over a year, during which time I lost over 40 lbs. I am now on my second corset, and would highly recommend anyone with large breasts, chronic headaches, and other back issues to look into a custom corset as an alternative to drugs and surgery. My Enchanted corset changed my life!"

I am forever grateful to Lisa Marie of Enchanted Custom Corsets for her knowledge, strategic mindset and compassion in helping me with a corset.
​
I had challenging medical issues for decades, but last year I faced an increase in pain and related issues from the weight of my dense size 28J breasts on my neck, back and shoulders. In addition, I am highly allergic to nickel - therefore, I cannot wear underwire bras and so had virtually
no "under breast" support (meaning the entire weight of my breasts was resting on my neck and shoulders), which further aggravated my problems every single day. I was miserable! I was seeing several physiotherapists 1-2 times per week to keep the issues from worsening, yet I had little quality of life. As a last resort, I was looking into a breast reduction to restore quality of life when a health care practitioner suggested that I try a corset.
A corset was not something I had previously considered and I was nervous about trying one (given the reputation of corsets being uncomfortable or even dangerous), but I was assured a properly fitted, custom designed corset did, in fact, have a medical purpose. Since this was my last option, I figured I'd try it out. This led me to Lisa Marie at Enchanted Custom Corsets. Because of my severe nickel allergy, my corset could not utilize any metal traditionally used in corsets (busk, grommets, boning), so when I contacted other corset companies requesting a custom fit, nickel free corset for 28J breasts, I was told this would be difficult, if not impossible. However, when I contacted Lisa Marie, I received a same day response indicating she believed she could help me and suggesting we talk by phone.
All this led to a trip from Canada to Portland, Oregon for in person fittings and really was the start of a “new beginning” for me. Upon meeting her in person, Lisa Marie was incredibly professional, very thoughtful and innovative in her design of my corset, and highly competent and knowledgeable. She did four fittings to ensure my corset would support my large breasts, and be custom fit well enough so I could wear it underneath my clothes.
When my corset arrived in the mail and I began to wear it, the first thing I noticed was an immediate reduction in neck, back, jaw and shoulder pain. The second thing I noticed was how shockingly comfortable this corset was! When you hear the word ‘corset’ the last word you think of is ‘comfortable’ but I find my corset to be much more comfortable than any bra (wired or not) I’ve ever worn. Third, the garment itself is absolutely beautiful! I didn’t really care what it looked like (I just wanted it to work), but the selection from which I could choose was all very pretty. So when people see it, they often comment that it looks like a bridal garment. I’m inclined to agree!
I have now been wearing my Enchanted corset every day for four months. My physiotherapists have told me my traditional scoliosis (as well as rotational) is nearly eliminated, my excess muscle tone (in all the wrong places) is virtually gone, and my breathing patterns have substantially improved. My corset has allowed me to introduce exercise back into my life, and I am able to run and jog without the discomfort I experienced in a sports bra. The corset feels incredibly durable, and I wear it regularly for intensive activities like jogging, running and weight training at the gym.
I never would have imagined I could 'love' an inanimate object so much, but this corset has become one of my most treasured possessions as it has given me a new lease on life. I wear it every day, have purchased a second one (so I can continue to receive support and comfort even on laundry day), and plan on purchasing a third one this year. I owe a debt of gratitude to Lisa Marie of Enchanted Corsets - thank you so so much for everything you have done for me!!

I have always been a curvy girl, but I found out how curvy I really am when I started having horrible sciatica pain. At 33 years old, I found out that I have scoliosis in my lumbar spine, spondylolisthesis, and a whole host of other spinal issues. It's a scary thing and has caused me lots of debilitating pain. After years of chiropractic care, physical therapy, drugs, and spinal injections I was finally told that I need a spinal fusion. Basically my spine won’t support itself so I need something to support it for me.
​
Now over the years I have worn the back braces that insurance covers. They provide very little support and dig into my stomach in an uncomfortable way. I have also tried off the rack corsets and they do provide better support than the medical back brace but just don’t fit my body. So I decided that I would invest in a quality custom corset, and what a game changer!
First off, Lisa Marie made the process as easy as possible. Taking measurements and fittings from opposite ends of the country poses some challenges, but it wasn’t bad and my husband was great. You will need a friend to help in this process.
​
Having this garment has allowed me to do things that I can’t normally do. Without my corset, intense pain starts after 10-15 min on my feet and I usually have to lay down after just grocery shopping. The first day I wore my custom corset, I went shopping with my daughter and we were away from the house for about five hours. I didn’t once have to take a break - the normal process of driving from place to place was enough of a break for me, and I was not on the floor in tears when I finally came home. This is huge for me!
​
I can’t wear this everyday because I need help lacing it (our schedules don’t always match), but when I need to be able to walk and stand for extended periods, we lace me in and I get to do things like a normal person again. While my corset doesn’t take all the pain away, it does bring my pain to a manageable level, and I couldn’t be happier! Just recently we went and saw the Alamo, something I wouldn’t have dreamed of before my Enchanted custom corset! Thank you!
