Anne Bonny Pirate Leather Underbust Corset

Detailed Description and Design

This wide corset belt is precisely assembled from several vertical panels of firm, smooth leather. Each panel is lined and reinforced with rows of antique brass-finished rivets, giving it a rustic and rugged appearance. The front is dominated by five prominent and ornate cast brass swing hook clasps, allowing for quick and easy fastening. The back features a lace-up system with metal eyelets, enabling you to perfectly adjust the corset to your figure and achieve the desired waist cinch. Both the top and bottom edges of the corset taper to an elegant point in the centre, which accentuates your curves and creates a striking visual effect.

From History: Corsets and Life at Sea

Although classic boned corsets, as we know them from the 17th to 19th centuries, were completely impractical for an active life on a ship, various forms of bodices and wide leather belts did exist. They served not only for protection but also as back support during heavy labour. This corset is a fantasy interpretation that combines historical aesthetics with practicality. It provides support and shapes the figure but, thanks to its underbust design, does not restrict breathing or movement—a crucial element for survival at sea.

Interesting Fact: The Undaunted Anne Bonny

Anne Bonny (c. 1697 – ?) was an Irish pirate who became famous in the Caribbean in the early 18th century. She defied the conventions of her time, left her husband, and joined the crew of the pirate Calico Jack Rackham, where she fought alongside another famous female pirate, Mary Read. They often dressed as men and were known for their courage and ferocity in battle. Her fate after being captured remains a mystery, which only adds to her legend.

How to Care for Your Leather Corset

To keep your leather corset looking beautiful and functioning for as long as possible, follow these simple rules:

1. Keep it Dry: Protect the leather from rain and moisture. If it gets wet, let it air dry at room temperature. Never dry it near a direct heat source!
2. Cleaning: Regularly remove dust and minor dirt with a dry cloth or a soft brush. Clean stains with a slightly damp cloth.
3. Conditioning: To maintain its suppleness and durability, you can treat the leather occasionally (about 1-2 times a year) with a suitable leather wax or conditioner.
4. Storage: Store the corset in a dry, ventilated place. Do not leave it crumpled; ideally, hang it or lay it flat to maintain its shape.

Please Note: This is a fashion accessory. Do not use it for extreme "waist training" as this could damage the item.
