Vivian – Soft Velvet Double Steel Boned Curvy Underbust Corset
Vivian in velvet is built for curvy figures who want serious waist shaping in a fabric that feels as good as it looks. This red velvet corset combines soft velvet outer fabric with 20 spiral steel bones, giving you a genuine 4" waist reduction in a curvy cut designed specifically for bodies that need more room at the ribs and hips. With 14" of room at the underbust and 17" at the hips, this is a velvet curvy corset built around your actual shape rather than a standard underbust pattern.
Built for Bodies Other Corsets Leave Behind
The structure starts with 20 spiral steel bones running the full length of the corset, paired with 4 rigid steel plates at the front for genuine velvet steel boned corset support. The hook & eye closure fastens securely at the front for a clean, flat finish built for regular tightening over time.
The 14" underbust spring and 17" hip spring are what set Vivian apart from every standard underbust corset. Most underbust corsets are cut for straighter figures. Vivian is cut specifically for curvy ones, with generous room above and below the waist that lets the corset pull in at the waist without pressing into the ribs or hips. The soft velvet outer moves with your body rather than against it, making it a natural fit for curvy figures. Inside, a reinforced waist ribbon holds the corset's shape through repeated wear. The lace-up back comes pre-laced with a 5" modesty panel for smooth, comfortable adjustment.
Why Vivian Velvet Fits Curvy Figures Other Corsets Miss
Vivian in velvet works as a curvy velvet underbust corset for daily waist training and special occasion wear. As a velvet corset for gothic fashion and burlesque performances, the fabric adds a richness that cotton and satin can't replicate. The soft velvet fabric sits differently against the body than cotton or satin. It drapes naturally over curves, sitting close to the body without stiffness. The cotton lining sits between your skin and the velvet exterior, keeping it comfortable through extended wear.
Available in red, black, blue, navy, orange, and dark green, this velvet corset multiple colors option covers everything from classic gothic looks to bold event styling. The red velvet corset curvy version is the primary photographed colorway, and the black velvet curvy corset is a popular alternative for gothic and everyday styling. The navy velvet corset, blue velvet corset, and dark green velvet corset options suit more understated occasion wear. The orange velvet corset is the boldest of the six, standing out for festival and event styling.
The 3XS to 10XL range covers every size across all six colors, so finding the right fit is never a compromise. For curvy figures looking for a steel boned corset that accounts for real body proportions, the velvet underbust corset curvy fit delivers exactly that. If you want the same curvy Vivian pattern in breathable cotton instead of velvet, our curvy cotton underbust corset gives you that in a similar curvy cut for everyday wear.
Getting Your Size Right in a Curvy Velvet Corset
Getting the size right matters more with a steel boned corset than with regular clothing. Here's a simple way to think about it:
If your natural waist is 30", choose the size that closes at 26". That gives you the full 4" reduction with lacing room at the back to tighten gradually over time.
This red velvet corset 3XS to 10XL range is available in six colors. The higher end of that range means a proper velvet fit without compromise, right up to 10XL. The curvy cut suits torso lengths between 11" and 12".
If you're wearing Vivian for a relaxed fit rather than waist training, go one size up for comfort.
Front length is 13", underbust is 10.5", side length is 14", and back length is 13". The strong hourglass shape comes from the 14" underbust and 17" hip spring built into every size. If you want the same velvet fabric in a standard underbust cut rather than curvy, our soft velvet double steel boned underbust corset gives you that in a similar velvet finish.

Sammy's Note on the Velvet Vivian
I'm Sammy, the maker behind Corsets Island. The velvet Vivian came from wanting to give the curvy Vivian pattern a fabric that matched the occasion. Velvet has a weight and drape that cotton doesn't, and on a curvy cut with generous hip and rib room, it creates a really different effect from our cotton version. The six color options came from wanting to give curvy buyers a genuine range rather than just black and white.
Every Vivian is made and packed by hand in my workshop. If you want it in a different color, a custom size, or with a different closure, I'll make that happen at no extra charge. You can choose from a silver zip, antique zip, gold hook & eye, silver clasps, flat front with side zip, or front lacing. Add a note at checkout or email me at info@corsetsisland.com with your natural measurements, your desired closed corset size, and any other details.
