Six generations of corsetieres carry on the "Cadolle touch": that unique blend of technical expertise and refinement.
Lace is particularly suited to the art of the corset: its transparency sculpts the figure while maintaining a suggested elegance, never ostentatious. Our selection features white, black, and red lace corsets, from waist cinchers to bustiers, including the guêpière — a piece invented in 1947 with couturier Marcel Rochas, which has since become a signature of the House. Each model is designed to fit a specific body type: slender waists, generous busts, or elongated figures will find a tailor-made solution in this collection.
The in-house colors, unique to Maison Cadolle, distinguish this lace from standardized production: their hue, chosen in the workshop, gives each piece a depth and lasting quality not found in classic ready-to-wear. The choice of quality lace, dense and structured, also guarantees the desired support in a corset — the material doesn't just adorn, it actively participates in body sculpting.
These lace corsets are suitable for various occasions: wedding lingerie, where white lace becomes a second skin for the bride; Valentine's Day, where black or red assert a refined seduction; or simply the pleasure of wearing an exceptional piece for oneself, free from any dictate. For women seeking a unique creation, bespoke remains the ultimate expression of Cadolle's expertise. Each bespoke piece is made in our Parisian workshops, where precise measurements and successive fittings allow for the adjustment of boning, lacing, and cut to the exact morphology of each client.
Choosing and caring for your lace corset:
The choice of a lace corset depends primarily on the desired support. Reinforced boning sculpts and refines the waist for pieces worn in the evening or at a wedding; a more flexible lacing prioritizes comfort for daily use. Taking measurements remains the crucial step: a well-fitted corset hugs the curves without ever compressing, in the tradition of a garment of glamour rather than constraint — a direct heritage of the work carried out by Poupie Cadolle from 1989 to reinvent the corset.
As for care, lace is a delicate material that requires attentive treatment: a gentle wash, by hand or on a delicate cycle, preserves its shape and the precision of its patterns over time. Avoiding spinning and machine drying helps maintain the structure and luster of the lace through washes.
