My name is Fran Blanche, Owner and Designer of Contour Corsets.   I have been in love with corsets for over 20 years, and in 2004 I decided to become a dedicated tightlacer and began my process of daily tightlacing with a goal to change my shape through constant waist training. 

My own experiences as a daily dedicated tightlacer means that I know a great deal about corsetry and tightlacing in a very personal way.  My need for better fitted, stronger, and lighter weight corsets pressed me to manufacture my own designs to get the quality I demanded and the shape I required.   I have been striving to make the world's best tightlacing corsets since 2008, and I continue to constantly evolve my work to create the most technologically advanced corsets found anywhere. 


A typical project begins like this, with lots of paperwork at the drafting table -
all unique hand drafted patterns for every corset.

 
 
The Tao of Contour Corsets
In this vlog I discuss my philosophy of corset design and how it relates to my philosophies about the practice of tightlacing.  I also talk about my scientific construction methods and how this has allowed me to make truly modern tightlacing corsets.

 
Every Contour Corset is hand made by myself to order for each individual customer.  There are no mass produced, outsourced, or pre-manufactured corsets here.  To make a truly custom corset means that each pattern has to be drafted directly from the customer's measurements.   Every customer has their own unique shape, and as such I draft a unique pattern for every customer that is their very own.
