Empress

Empress is a made-to-measure Mikado bridal corset top designed for brides who want a regal, intricately embellished wedding separate with couture structure. Crafted in white Mikado and shaped with a structured corset bodice, this strapless design features a soft scoop neckline with a subtle sweetheart curve, baroque-inspired lace embroidery, and hand-beaded pearl, seed bead, and rhinestone detailing.

Please note: This listing is for the corset top only; coordinating skirts, trousers, veils, jewelry, and accessories shown in styling images are sold separately.

The lace-up corset back allows for an adjustable, secure fit, while the made-to-measure construction is created around your submitted measurements. Designed as part of the AR Couture collection, Empress can be styled with a lace bridal skirt for an editorial ceremony look, paired with a dramatic tulle skirt for a classic bridal silhouette, or worn with wide-leg trousers for a refined wedding reception or rehearsal dinner outfit.

Product Details

Customization Options

This corset may be customized by color and select design details where possible. For changes such as fabric color, neckline coverage, embellishment placement, corset length, or styling with a coordinating skirt or trouser, please contact Bella Luna Gowns before ordering so we can confirm what can be adjusted for this design.

Made-to-Measure Fit

Each Bella Luna corset is custom-made to your measurements. After checkout, you will receive our measurement form with step-by-step guidance so your corset can be created for your body and proportions. Because this is a structured couture piece, minor local alterations may still be needed for a precise, couture-level fit. Please submit measurements carefully and contact us before production begins if you have questions about fit, coverage, or styling.

Production & Shipping

Because each garment is handcrafted to order, our standard production timeline may take up to 16 weeks depending on design complexity, customization details, and seasonal order volume. We strongly recommend completing your order 5–6 months before your wedding day or scheduled event.

U.S. Shipping: Insured and tracked U.S. delivery typically takes 2–6 business days after final inspection and shipment.

International Orders: International orders may be accepted by request only. Please contact us before placing an international order so we can confirm availability, shipping options, and estimated delivery timing. Customs duties, import taxes, and local fees are the customer’s responsibility.

Custom Order Policy

The Empress Corset Top is custom-made to order. Production begins after your order details, measurements, and any approved customization requests are confirmed. Because this is a custom-made couture piece, all sales are final once production begins. Customers are responsible for submitting accurate measurements and reviewing all order details carefully. Minor local alterations may still be needed after delivery for a couture-level fit, which is the customer’s responsibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do Bella Luna corset tops have built-in support?
Yes. Bella Luna corset tops are designed with a structured internal support system, not a flimsy fashion-corset construction. Our corsets include built-in bra/cup support, internal boning, and structured bodice shaping to help create a secure, sculpted fit. When the design allows, supportive bra straps may also be added or built into the construction for additional comfort and stability.

Can Empress be made in another color?
Yes. Empress may be made in any color available in our fabric swatch selection. Color availability can vary by fabric type, embroidery tone, and embellishment availability, so please contact Bella Luna Gowns before ordering if you would like this design made in a custom color.

Why is Empress made with Mikado?
Empress is made with Mikado because the fabric has the structure and body needed for a sculpted corset silhouette. Mikado holds clean couture lines beautifully, supports internal boning, and creates a smooth foundation for the baroque-inspired embroidery and hand-beaded embellishment. This gives the corset both regal structure and refined bridal detail.

Is the embellishment hand-beaded?
Yes. Bella Luna Gowns’ beaded designs are hand-beaded. Empress features baroque-inspired lace embroidery with pearl, seed bead, and rhinestone detailing arranged to create an ornate, regal bridal effect.

Why choose a bridal corset separate instead of a full wedding dress?
A bridal corset separate gives you more styling flexibility than a traditional one-piece gown. You can dress it up with a bridal skirt for the ceremony, pair it with trousers for a reception or rehearsal dinner look, or restyle it later with evening separates or formalwear pieces. This supports our Beyond the Aisle approach: instead of investing in a wedding look that is worn only once, a corset separate can become part of your wardrobe for future special occasions.

Is this listing for a full dress?
No. This listing is for the corset top only. Skirts, trousers, veils, jewelry, and accessories shown in styling images are sold separately unless specifically stated in the product description.

How do I submit my measurements?
After checkout, you will receive Bella Luna Gowns’ digital measurement form with step-by-step guidance. Your corset is made to measure using your submitted measurements and body proportions. Because this is a structured couture piece, minor local alterations may still be needed after delivery for a precise fit.
