Bodice “Archeress”
Medieval suede leather corset vest
This natural suede bodice corset design is based on patterns and decorations of European renaissance corset and also on later period German and French bodices. It has easily recognizable slope shoulder line and stand-up half-collar. Waist is tightly swifted while breast remains almost free. Front lacing gives necessary flexibility and fine fit. Decorative rolled edges laced along bottom and arm-slits complete the look.
This corset can't be custom-sized remotely, so it comes in fixed sizes: S, M, L, XL.
Also available in blue color:

What a beautiful item! I love the detailing and it really acts as the finishing touch to my outfit! My only issue is that I ordered too small, but it does stretch out a bit after wearing it.
Saw, wanted, bought. Two versions actually! I own it on brown and black and it's easily one of my favorite bodices/corsets ever. So suprisingly comfortable to wear and it makes a beautiful bodyshape.
I bought the brown version in person at Les Artisans d'Azure in Montréal, Canada last year. It made me think of the Outlander series. Along with a black mage dress, it is the first element of clothing that made me want to dive into LARP. ^^ The shape it gives is truly flattering and it is very comfortable, appart from subtle shoulder tension after a long day. I can't way to try my whole outfit when doing actual archery !
I ordered this amazing brown suede corset in size M for my teenage daughter. It fit her beautifully! I just love the whole huntress costume and I am slowly saving up to buy the pieces we don't already own!
I ordered this in blue and it's awesome! A bit snug around the waist but fits great otherwise. For reference I ordered a large and my waist is 29-30" under-bust is 34" and bust is 39"
I received this lovely corset just a week ago, and I'm more than happy with it! I had it made in green, and it pairs very well with the green Archeress dress that I also had Armstreet make for me. In case it is helpful, size Small fit my 28 inch waist, 33 inch bust, and 30 inch underbust. It IS tight on my waist when I have everything cinched up, but I expect it to loosen and become more comfortable with wear. I think the size M would have been too long for me in the back/length and I think the shoulders would have floated on my petite frame. The size S sits perfectly on the lower back, and floats only a tiny bit above my shoulders.
Hi, I own two of these beauties and have now decided to share with you all my review of this fine garment. On size; When my friend first got me the set we simply followed the charts and ordered an (M) (I'm 166cm bust 92, waist 71) It turned out however that in this size the bodice floated over the shoulders, I couldn't lift my arms and my poor boobies ended up squished partly under the upper edge of the bodice. I crossed my fingers and ordered an (S), which as it turned out, fit very well. What really matters for the fit you see is your torso length (which is a bit confusingly given only as the total length of the bodice including collar) Despite my 166cm I have a center back length of only 36cm which is probably around the shortest an (S) size will fit. The medium looks stunning on a friend with center back length 41cm. On wear; This is real leather, so just like with shoes of that kind it will be quite stiff when you first receive it and despite not being steel boned, benefits greatly from a proper corset seasoning. (If the term's unfamiliar, look it up) It will make it go from good looking to fitting you like a glove, and any trouble you may have raising your arms straight up when first put on will go away as well (provided the size isn't wrong). To speed up lacing I recommend stiffening 1-2cm of the ends of the cord (carefully!!!) over a flame. The only negative thing I can say about this stunning piece of craftsmanship is that because the slanting seams in the front are unboned the front wants to crease up when worn tightly laced, and those times I end up constantly tugging at it to make it lay flat. In short, a worthwhile investment that looks amazing both with a dress and tunic and hose.
Thank you for such an informative and detailed review! We're sure it will be useful to our customers!

Hallo, kann das Koresett bei nicht passen zurück gegeben ? Brauche gr.

I really love this corset design, I was wondering if it could be made with metal boning instead of plastic? I would be happy to pay for the upgrade in materials. Thank you!
The corset cannot be made with metal boning, sorry.
Hi armstreet, I realy love your archeress corset but I don't like the rolled up edges at the sleeves and bottom. I would like one in the colour green and size S. But one that also covers my boobs. Is this possible? If yes, how much would this cost me? Many thanks. Lotte
This corset cannot be modified in such a way. We can recommend you the Bodice “Chess Queen” and the Florentine Style Corset.
Hi there, it says that this cannot be custom, but then there is a custom link with 4 color options. Is that all the custom entails is the color? I am not sure what lengh to measure from but I know my bust is between 38 or 39 inch and my waist is 29. Should I order a large or medium for a snug fit?
In this case, the "Custom Size" tab implies the possibility to select a custom color only. Please note that the corset of custom color should be made to order, production takes 29-35 days.
Size L should fit you just well according to the size chart, but please note that the final choice of size is up to you, and these tips serve as a guideline.
What shoes is the model wearing with this outfit ?
Brown Medieval Leather Shoes with Brass Accents
Very long time i’m looking for smth like this!
So happy that you have found it here :)
I always love looking at your photos they look like a work of art
Thank you!
I was just wondering if there was any way that this corset could be made in something that isn't made from an animal? It's absolutely beautiful, but I can't wear leather.
The bodice cannot be made of any other fabric for technical reasons, sorry.
Thank you for your understanding.
Hi Looking at the suede Archeress Corset. Can you tell me what is the actual waist measurement of the corset. Is the medium corset 26 3/4" around or is it smaller. Also is the large corset waist 29 1/4" around or is it smaller? I'm trying to decide on a size and would like to know the actual waist measurement of the medium and large. I know that some corsets say they fit a 29" to 30" waist but the actual corset measurement is 27" as they allow for a gap. Is your corset sizing figuring in a gap? Thank-you Cindy
This bodice allows for a gap, the actual width is about 1 1/2" - 2 1/2" (4-6 cm) less then the lower limit of the size.
