Six generations of corsetieres carry on the "Cadolle touch" here: this unique link between corsetry and couture, passed down from mother to daughter since Herminie Cadolle invented the "corselet-gorge" (bra-corset).
Satin is distinguished by its fluid drape and subtle sheen, which reveal every line of the corset without ever weighing it down. Our selection offers corsets in white, black, and red satin, from waist cinchers to bustiers, including the "guêpière" (waspie) — a piece invented in 1947 with couturier Marcel Rochas, and since become a signature of the House. Each model is designed to suit a specific body type: petite waist, generous bust, or slender figure will find a tailor-made solution in this collection.
The custom-made colors, exclusive to Maison Cadolle, give the satin a particular depth: their shade, chosen in the workshop, gives each piece a brilliance that stands out from standardized production. Satin is equally suitable for a corset worn as a visible piece, under a jacket or blazer, or for more intimate lingerie — its durability and sheen make it a particularly versatile material in a woman's wardrobe.
These satin corsets are suitable for various occasions: wedding lingerie, where white satin brings a luminous softness to fittings; Valentine's Day, where black or red assert refined seduction; or simply the pleasure of an exceptional piece worn for oneself. For women seeking a unique creation, custom-made remains the ultimate expression of Cadolle's expertise. Each custom-made piece is crafted in our Parisian workshops, where measurements and successive fittings allow the boning, lacing, and cut to be adjusted to the exact morphology of each client.
Choosing and caring for your satin corset:
The choice of a satin corset primarily depends on the desired support. Reinforced boning sculpts and refines the waist for pieces worn in the evening or for a wedding; a more flexible lacing prioritizes comfort for extended wear. Taking measurements remains the decisive step: a well-fitted corset embraces curves without ever compressing, in the tradition of a garment of glamour rather than constraint — a direct legacy of the work led by Poupie Cadolle starting in 1989 to reinvent the corset.
In terms of care, satin is a material sensitive to friction and heat: a gentle wash, by hand or on a delicate cycle, preserves its sheen and suppleness. Avoiding wringing, machine drying, and direct ironing on the material helps maintain the satin's luster wash after wash.
