Pregnancy Corset Pattern [PREORDER]
$ 39
[PRE-ORDER: Files will be emailed on or before March 30th, 2025]
The Vanyanís Pregnancy Corset Pattern is a stunning piece of corset engineering. Inspired by historical corsets, this pattern was designed and developed during the designers’ own pregnancy (pictured). A pregnancy corset does not constrict the waist – it provides pain-relieving support to the belly, bust, back and hips. Elastic panels add flexibility and the adjustable side and back lacing expand as the pregnancy progresses. The lacing allows for a size increase of up to 10″ making it the perfect solution to provide comfortable support to a growing pregnant body.
Available in one size (see the tabs below for sizing notes).
Laced closed, it fits: Bust: 42″, Waist: 32″, High Hips: 39″ (expands up to 10″).
This digital pattern is beautifully designed and includes the following:
- Version ‘A’ is a ‘flat layout‘ (showing the detailed stitching and bone placement [and types]).
- Version ‘B’ is a simple ‘working‘ pattern that can easily be adjusted to your size.
- Version ‘C’ shows the seam allowance and grainline placement.
- A pattern for a belly support band (for use in the third trimester)
- Lacing instructions for the back and sides
Instructions are not included, but you will find some helpful notes from the designer to assist you. This would be a complex project for an experienced or adventurous maker.

This Pregnancy Corset Pattern was developed to fit a figure with a fuller bust (14G/34G in Australian bra sizing). It was patterned to fit the designer in her second trimester of pregnancy and laced closed on her at 20 weeks pregnant. At 38 weeks the same corset still fitted due to the adjustable lacing and a supportive belly band was added to provide additional belly support for the third trimester.
Without any lacing gaps, the pattern fits: Bust: 42″ Underbust: 33″ (taken 4″ above the waist) Waist: 32″ High Hips: 39″ (taken 4″ below the waist).
Please check your measurements against the above measurements. For help and instructions on how to take your measurements, click here.
If you would like to use this pattern but your measurements are different, references such as bust, underbust, baby bump and underwire lines are clearly marked so you can adjust the pattern sizing to fit. The fit and shape of a corset for a pregnant body has to be exact – no pressure should be put on the baby. As this particular corset received such a warm reception on social media, we digitized it so that you can see how the pattern functions with a pregnant body. This pattern is intended for educational use, but you could absolutely use it as a starting point for a bespoke corset of your own. Check your measurements, adjust the pattern to match your own and then sew and fit toiles to perfect the shape before making a finished corset.

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.

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.

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.
