Vanyanís Engraved Busk – Gold
Engraved BusksOur busks are made in Germany and then engraved by hand in Melbourne (Australia)!
Inspired by the antique corsets of the Victorian era, these original Engraved Busks are created by Vanyanís and are the first of their kind in about 100 years! These high quality German 'silver' stainless steel busks have been carefully engraved with a delicate gold laurel leaf design on each loop of the busk. The gold laurel comes up beautifully. It's not as bold as the black, but a little more subtle and very delicate. They're perfect if you're just wanting to add a little extra detail without being too 'showy'. (For a super subtle effect consider the silver engraving.)
Using the very best of modern technology the pretty laurels come up crisp and clear on each loop and do not rub off or wear away. They are the perfect finishing touch for your special corset, whether you're recreating an antique design or just love luxurious little details in your corsetry. Engraved Busks are not made anywhere else in the world - they are unique to Vanyanís and now available to you! We can't possibly make corsets for everyone so have made these available to everyone so that anyone can enjoy these very special busks.
For more information about our busks check out the 'tabs' below.

Andrea Waist Cincher
Ready to Wear, CorsetsThe Andrea Waist Cincher is a timeless design from our ready-to-wear corset collection. Featuring a luxurious black satin fabric (the same used in our Ebonique Skirts) this cincher has been carefully cut and sewn to best accentuate your curves. The corset laces up with a soft satin ribbon and can be styled as underwear or outerwear (the choice is yours!). This short little corset is made to show off your assets while providing a comfortable waist reduction. It features a pointed front and two cute points at the back. Each cincher comes in a beautiful branded box, perfect for gifting to yourself or a loved one.
One of the trademark features of a Vanyanís corset is the sleek silhouette and smooth, wrinkle-free finish on the fabric. The Andrea Waist Cincher is made with the best materials we could find (including a European coutil strength layer, German steel black busk and the most luxurious satin ribbon lacing). It has 30 spiral and flat steel bones, but still feels 'light' to wear as the quality fabrics provide strength and support without being bulky. (For those that love details, check out the ‘Corset Details’ tab below for all specifications on this corset.)
The level of care and attention-to-detail that has gone into this making range has resulted in an exceptional waist cincher that will make you feel incredible.

The Vanyanís Aeryn underbust pattern is a comfortable and shapely corset pattern. Originally developed for Vanyanís Corset Making for Beginners course, this pattern has fast become popular and has proven to be a huge success with all who've tried it. It has a curvy silhouette with a lovely sweetheart shape at the upper back. The back panels have been drafted to create a smooth silhouette and eliminate any "back fat" or "overspill". This pattern creates a beautiful corset with a dramatic shape.
The corset pattern has six panels (per side) and is patterned to lace up closed on the wearers body (if you prefer a 2" lacing gap, simply select one size smaller). The pattern has been created to be as user friendly as possible. Seam allowances are clearly marked on all panels as well as a helpful letter system across of the top of the panel pieces (to help you sew the panels together correctly). We recommend sewing a toile (mock-up) to check and adjust the fit, before commencing your final project.
Available in corset sizes 18" to 44" it can fit natural waists of 20" to 50". To work out which size you'll need, please refer to the size chart located in the tabs below. This pattern is sold in "packs" of three sizes and comes with corset lacing instructions. Sewing instructions are not included. Royal Black has an excellent sew-a-long on her Patreon, where she's used this pattern for the instructions. This pattern is licensed for personal use only (please refer to the tabs below for full terms of use).
Once purchased, the pattern pack will be immediately emailed to you as a PDF in both A3 and A4 formats, so you can print it out and get started with your corset straight away. (The A4 version will need to be taped together after printing). Tip: make sure you print the file at "100%", not "shrink to fit". There is a printed scale measurement on each page so you can check that it has printed correctly.
The files will be sent from sales@vanyanis.com so make sure you add this email to your address book so your patterns don't end up in the 'spam' folder!

Nadja Black Mesh Corset
Ready to Wear, CorsetsThe Nadja mesh underbust corset is an exquisite example of what's possible when you combine luxurious fabrics, textured embellishments and stunning craftsmanship. Made with a strong black corsetry mesh overlaid with a delicate leavers lace, this corset feels light to wear but is strong enough to withstand tight lacing so you can show off your curves. The corset is semi-sheer so incredibly easy to style over your favourite clothes (or wear as lingerie if you prefer...)
As with all Vanyanís corsets, the Nadja corsets features a sleek silhouette and a smooth wrinkle free finish on the fabric. The steel bones are encased in external bone channels, evenly spaced around the corset so that when worn, it feels like a comfortable (but firm) hug. The bone casings, binding and front and back panels feature a luscious black satin fabric (the same used in our Ebonique Skirts) that is backed by a European cotton coutil for added strength.
The front and back panels of this curvy corset feature an embroidered lace with tiny black sequins woven through it. (Please note: We decorated the corsets for the photoshoot with some Swarovski crystals on the mesh panels. These crystals are not included on the product.)
The Nadja corset is made with the best materials we could find (a German steel black busk, velvet lining and the most luxurious satin ribbon lacing). (For those that love details, check out the ‘Corset Details’ tab below for all specifications on this corset.)
Only 30 corsets are available, split across an extended size range (18"-44"), and we won't be re-stocking. We're thrilled with how perfectly this limited edition corset has turned out. Nadja has been a labour of love, and we hope you love this new design as much as we do. This corset is currently listed as a "clearance" item in our sale. Save 50% on this corset with code "baby2".
