About

Exquisite Restraint Corsets is Los Angeles' premiere custom corsetmaker. Since 2001 owner and designer Simone has used her extensive experience in film, television and theatre to inform her work with private clients all over the United States and worldwide for Exquisite Restraint.
Consider Exquisite Restraint for your specialty alterations!! We are often able to fit in brides easier than some boutiques for those last minute alts. We have worked with Hollywood deadlines and can offer than same service to you.

Our workmanship is exquisite, our skills undeniable... whether you want a waist cincher as a foundation garment to nip in your waist under your gown, or a complete wedding ensemble that includes a boned corset-style bodice, we are ready to create a corset as unique as YOU.

We work with high-end, traditional corset materials: all steel boning, a center front busc and cotton coutil as the strong inner structure of your corset.

We welcome your offbeat, steampunk, alternative and non-traditional wedding requests. Our image pictured here on Wedding Wire is lovely client in an ensemble she designed. She approached us with a beaded victorian jacket and skirt riding outfit that she wanted to re-purpose into her own wedding gown. Simone collaborated closely with the superb Grace Bridal who made the the new skirt for the client. We are thrilled with the results and so was the client.

Corsets are an important part of modern fashion and we are grateful to be be able to offer our services as a small business in America.

Please contact us with all your requests for a foundation garment under your dress, your dream design for a custom wedding gown or alterations for your gown.

Saved my Wedding Dress!

Simone is such an incredible seamstress! I took the dress I ordered online (that arrived very very late) to her and she fixed all the fit issues, creating an entire new top of the dress. She was my hero!!!

Simone's Artistry Will Make You Feel Your BEST!

Simone is a master of a lost art! My experience of having a custom corset made by Simone was so enjoyable, accessible, and fun! She always made me feel comfortable and beautiful in my fittings. After just a few fittings, Simone transformed the look of my gown and made my silhouette look feminine and perfectly curvy. She has impeccable sewing skills and the quality of her work is really evident. I was able to choose from several detailed fabrics for my corset and I loved the soft glow of the silk that we went with! The types of corsets that Simone makes cannot be found in stores and they really fit like a glove because of her deft designer's hand. It felt so nice to have an undergarment that was so secure and stayed in-place on my wedding day! The corset, although secure, was comfortable and did not keep me from dancing all night long! I know that this corset is a beautiful one-of-a-kind piece that I will be able to wear for many years! Thank you Simone!

Simone is great! She altered my dress (added perfect beaded sleeves and shortened the train) AND made fabulous couture for my pugs for my wedding. She's amazing at realizing a vision and can really do anything!
