Price List: Custom Items

All items listed on this page are custom made by Absinthe and Old Lace. Please note that the front measurements of the corsets are not given. This is because these corsets are truly custom made, and the front length of the piece will vary based on YOUR back waist measurment. If you would like to know the finished front measurement for a corset made to your measurements, e-mail me or use the on-line order form. Be sure to supply the following information: Bust, waist, and hip measurements; back-waist length, and waist to hip distance. You will recieve a mock-up for fitting for most items. The fit of all Absinthe and Old Lace custom pieces is GUARANTEED.

Prices given are for the piece if made as described. More adornment is available at extra charge. Sizes outside the stated range will take 4-8 weeks longer, but are available. Custom orders will be made to your color and fabric specifications, but some fabrics may require an additional charge. Unless otherwise stated, size given is a CHEST measurement. A 30% non-refundable deposit is required for any commission. Custom items can be returned due to defect or damaged condition upon arrival only.
