The Princess Renaissance Corset in Midnight Black Velvet

✧ Princess Renaissance Corset Top in Midnight Black Velvet ✧

by Madame Mortelle

Inspired by Guinevere — queen, consort, and quiet sovereign — the Princess Renaissance Corset was conceived as a garment of authority worn softly, not loudly. It draws from medieval and Renaissance silhouettes where power was expressed through bearing, restraint, and presence rather than armor.

This is a fully spiral steel boned, long-sleeved corset, designed as both foundation and statement. The corseted bodice of the Princess Renaissance Corset shapes and supports the torso through traditional construction techniques, while the extended sleeves recall historical court dress and ceremonial wear. It is a piece meant to command space without spectacle.

Crafted in velvet and built with steel boning for structure and longevity, the Princess Renaissance Corset balances softness with strength. The corset construction provides shaping through the waist and torso while allowing the garment to move with the body. An open front lacing closure allows for a customizable fit, while modesty panels offer coverage, flexibility, and comfort as the body changes over time.

The long sleeves extend the silhouette, creating a composed, elongated line that speaks to historical dress rather than costume. The Princess Renaissance Corset was designed to be worn as a complete garment — not hidden, not secondary — but as the centerpiece of an ensemble for Renaissance festivals, historical events, or ceremonial dress.

This is not a novelty corset.
It is not lingerie.
It is not costume.

The Princess Renaissance Corset is a historically inspired corset garment designed for presence.

Guinevere ruled not through force, but through steadiness.
Through choice.
Through the knowledge of when to speak — and when not to.
