Corset Dresses

What’s a corset dress?

Four words: magic for your silhouette. It features built-in boning or structured panels that cinch at the waist and create that hourglass shape we're all after. Unlike wearing a separate corset with a dress, Showpo offers one complete piece that does all the flattering work for you. You'll find them in every length too! Corset mini dresses bring major drama to nights out, midi corset dresses nail that elegant-without-trying-too-hard energy and corset maxi dresses are pure show-stopping glamour. The best part? That waist definition is built right in, so you get a snatched look without layering or styling acrobatics.

Can I wear a corset dress to weddings or formal events?

You definitely can and TBH, they're perfect for it! For wedding guest looks, a corset dress in midi length feels appropriately fancy. White corset dresses work perfectly for the bridal showers or rehearsal dinners. Heading to prom? A corset mini dress or strapless corset maxi brings that fairytale moment without feeling outdated. The structured bodice means you don't need a belt or anything extra to define your shape, so focus on finishing touches like gold hoops or studs or stunning heels. For formal events, a floor-length corset dress with minimal styling is genuinely all you need. These silhouettes promise you a gorgeous shape that photographs incredibly, and you can customise with different lengths and cuts depending on the dress code.

What's the best way to style a corset dress?

Keep it simple and let the dress do the most talking. Make sure the fit at your waist is spot-on because that's where all the eyes’ll be. For strapless corset dresses, either go with adhesive bras or trust our built-in cups. Accessories should be minimal since the dress is already making a statement. Feeling a bit exposed? Throw on a blazer or leather jacket for evening events. You can go as sexy or as sophisticated as you want here. High leg slits and mesh details bring daring energy, while dramatic flared skirts give you all the volume and dreaminess you could ask for.
