I love curling up on the sofa with the kitties. I have a lot of wonderful friends that make my life so much fun. I get crabby and loopy when I am hungry . I grew up in the mountains and I miss them. Underworld makes me want to fly, I once saw them even though I hadn't slept for more than 30 hours and had a presentation the next morning and I almost collapsed, but the lights where so brilliant. I wish I was more efficient and organized. I have no patience for arrogance. I adore my husband.
This journal is a mishmash of my personal and business life. Maybe someday I will start a separate one for my work, but right now my work and my "regular" life are so much a part of each other, that I can't really separate them.

This journal is a mishmash of my personal and business life. Maybe someday I will start a separate one for my work, but right now my work and my "regular" life are so much a part of each other, that I can't really separate them.

Every corset I make is unique. I make custom (tight-lacing quality) corsets drafted to your measurements and including a mock-up. I can do this in person or via mail order. Fit and exceptional craftsmanship are my specialties.
Don't take my word for it. Here are links to just a few of client reviews of Morúa Designs corsets: Pocket Watch Review, Cyber Corset Review and Corded Corset Review .
For even more details on my corsets and how they are constructed, please look at the corsetry information page on my website.
This price list is a guideline for the styles I offer. It really depends on what you order, as appliqués, specialty fabrics, straps and bespoke shaping and detailing can affect price. Please note that my prices have changed. I'm also cutting my orders drastically to free my time for other fashion related endeavors (watch this space). Please let me know well ahead of time as I have a waiting list for corset commissions.
Underbust: £160-200
Overbust: £220-250
Corded Underbust: £230-260
Corded Overbust: £275-290
Edwardian Underbust: £210-£250
Edwardian Overbust: £250-£300
Any additional corsets made from the same pattern and not requiring another mock-up receive a 15% discount.
All corsets I make come with the following:
At least 22 spiral and spring steel bones (more or less depending on design, size, etc. Edwardian has more than 30.) Waist tape, reinforced fashion fabric front busk, busk protector, modesty panel, Coutil lining, two part grommets in black, white, gold or silver colors. Very sturdy construction with reinforced seams.
I also take on a maximum of 2-3 Wedding Gowns each year. Prices start at £2500 for a wedding outfit. Here you'll find a small sampling of my work along with more information about what my bespoke bridal service includes.
