Ebonique Black Satin Skirt with Pockets
Ready to Wear, SkirtsIMPORTANT: This item is on "clearance" and all sales are final.
At Vanyanís, we believe that elegance goes hand in hand with comfort and utility. This is why our decadent satin skirt has two generously deep hidden pockets - freeing you of the need for a clutch should you choose.
The skirt is cleverly cut to accentuate your waist and hips, without adding 'bulk' at the front. The luxurious satin is gathered at the back and sides, joining the flat front. The hemline is generous and you instantly want to swish about when you wear it. Why not wear a petticoat underneath for a vintage feel?
This skirt is the height of luxury and we've loved bringing a couture feel to this garment. The skirt is fully lined in cupro (a hypoallergenic, anti-static fabric made from the silky fibers of the cotton plant) which feels incredibly soft against your skin.
Christian Dior once said "You can wear black at any time. You can wear it at any age. You may wear it for almost any occasion." We couldn't agree more.

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!

Wellington Corset Pattern Making: The Tape Method [Date: TBC]
School Shop, ClassesCorset Pattern Making: The Tape Method is the perfect introduction to making corset patterns for those that may not have prior experience in flat pattern drafting or the time to invest in learning complex pattern drafting methods. In this course you will learn how to make a perfectly fitting "basic" corset pattern using the 'Tape Method'. Instead of taking extensive body measurements we will tape the body and develop the pattern in 3D before transferring it to paper (2D). After transferring it you'll learn some flat patterning skills to develop the pattern into a beautiful corset shape.
The methods taught in this course are very 'hands on' and there is little-to-no math's involved at all. If traditional pattern drafting feels too complicated, too structured, or you just want to use your hands to create, then the methods taught in this course are for you. This approach will help you learn what different figures look like in pattern form without the stress of wondering if you're getting it right or not. If you will be making a pattern for a body shape you've never patterned for before then these skills will help you level up quickly.
It's always helpful to learn more than one way to achieve something - it gives you the tools to pick and choose the best approach (for you) for any project. The pattern drafting skills you learn in this course can be applied to bridal bodices, couture gowns and corsets.
The focus of this class is to learn how to create an overbust corset pattern using the 'Tape Method' and then fit it perfectly. During the class you will learn how to make an overbust corset toile (mock-up) to test your pattern. We'll share all our best corset fitting secrets with you and show you how and where to apply changes to your toile. After the fitting, you'll learn how to accurately transfer those changes to your pattern. At the end of this pattern drafting course you'll have a personalized corset pattern to keep and the confidence and knowledge of how to fit and design more patterns independently.

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.
