Hi Fran,

 I just wanted to tell you how much I love my new corset! The quality, beauty and attention to detail, are absolutely excellent. It fits me like a comfortable glove with a nice firm even pressure. From the first day I received it, I had no problem sleeping 8 hrs in it!  In a word "PERFECT"!!!!

Thank you again for all your help,

Lori (USA), Jan. 2012

  Hi Fran,

Just had to take a moment to tell you how incredibly different your corset is from every other Corsetiere I've tried over the last 20 years. Comfortable isn't usually a word associated with Men's corsets and yet your corset is not only the most rigid (by a mile), well constructed, perfectly measured, LIGHT, ridiculously easy to lace, innovative and effective liners AND with ZERO pressure points that its actually... Comfortable!! I'm stunned. The difference is literally light years apart. I could not recommend you highly enough. Thank you!

In fact... I'm writing to order another in a different color! :)

Thanks again Fran!!

All the best!

"Many thanks for my Contour corset that I received about two months ago. Since that I have worn it for about 12 hours per day. My body is now well "moulded" around my corset, and very easy to wear. It keeps my body very straight, and it is a great pleasure to live with this friendly support. I advise every woman or man who wants to tightlace seriously that Fran makes very sufficient and comfortable corsets."

Referring to the Ultimate Leather Corset:

"I wanted to thank you very much for the wonderful corset, it is just great, exactly what I was thinking about and it fits perfectly. It is so stiff that right now it is just beginning to take the shape of my body.
Your lacing system is incredible, in my former corsets it took hours to tighten it and the pressure was not evenly distributed thus making it uncomfortable; your corset is laced in one minute, tighter and more comfortable."

I noticed the photos of my corset you made earlier this year in your (corset) gallery. Looks great and I am pleased to see it there.  It is the nicest and best corset I have.  It also fits perfectly.  You are to be congratulated. You are a true corset designer and craftswoman.

I have been wearing corsets for the past ten years to help with a scoliosis problem from my teenage years.  This is the first corset ever that has been totally and completely comfortable from the very first day.  I contacted Fran and discussed the issues I have with my back and also the problems I have experienced with previous corsets.  Fran is an absolutely wonderful person to work with.  She took her time and reviewed everything I sent her.  She made several recommendations and I settled on a corset made with the new poly mesh fabric.  This fabric is truly wonderful.  It is strong, cool and does not produce a bulky corset that traditional fabrics do.  The bulkiness of my other corsets required me to wear jeans a size larger in the waist but with the poly mesh corset I am able to wear my regular clothes.  I actually need to use a smaller notch on my belt when I am wearing the corset than I do without the corset on.  With my other corsets I have had problems with pressure points along the hip bones and the lower ribs.  With this new poly mesh fabric, coupled with Fran's design, I do not have any sore spots even at the end of a long day.

The Tank Liner is also great.  It keeps some of the muffin top in check but more importantly it does not scrunch down and wrinkle up around the waist like the regular liners usually do on me.  This is the first time I have ever been able to go a full 24 hours and not have any wrinkles form in the liner.  If I wear dark colored cloths I will also put a black Tank Liner on over top of the corset to keep the color dark.

I have shown comparable pictures of the corset with both the white and black Tank Liners for contrast.  This is a man's Redresser Corset which is several inches higher than the under bust models. 

The comfort and support are truly amazing.  A real testament to Fran and her design and engineering skills along with a desire to help people.

Fran is a pleasure to work with. She easily answered the questions I had about past corsets I’ve owned, and was able to help me determine which of her styles would suit me best. I’ve had a lot of issues with fit previously, but with her recommendations the corset she sent me fits perfectly. The corset itself seems to be the result of years of study. It’s functional---you don’t have to spend ten minutes trying to get into it, and the look of it speaks for itself. Even the inside is as beautiful as the outside, which really improves the comfort level during several hours of wear. There really is no comparison to the amount of work that goes into a Contour Corset; it is worth well beyond what you pay for it.

Fran made me a corset with a very graceful wasp waist cut, very smooth, comfortable fit that feels like a firm hug. This is my first corset with a zipper, and it's fantastic.  Really nice workmanship.  Quite a piece of engineering.  I will want to order a second corset from Fran in the future.

An excerpt from Francine's website about Contour Corsets:

"Fran Blanche of Contour Corsets is a woman who is a very highly skilled craftswoman and design engineer. I have personally been in contact with her in the past and she is quite articulate and intelligent. She is more than qualified to build a custom corset and comes highly recommended in my book. Fran is one of the most highly skilled individuals I have run across in a long time. She has quite an extensive library on every aspect of corsetry and tight lacing. She is highly gifted in high end electronics, a talented musician, design engineer, skilled craftswoman, and clothing designer. Check her website out. You will be impressed just like me."

"We are so pleased with the corset you made for me. I attempted waist training in the past with off the rack corsets, and even some custom made corsets. However, my waist training only began in earnest when I was laced into your custom daily wear corset. Dare I say that progress is quicker in a Contour Corset? It is what I have experienced!"

- Laurie (USA), 2011

"I contacted Fran for a project that I  was not sure she would take. I have a strong desire for fetish wear and love corsets of all kinds. I really wanted a very restrictive neck corset made just for me. I have had others that just did not fit correctly. Being male, the challenge of restriction over the "adam's apple" is a real concern. Fran had me take several measurements before she took on the project. The result was amazing. She made a very restrictive, long, lace up neck corset that can totally keep my head from moving. (please see the black with red stitching neck corset on the site) She also made up an extreme posture collar for me that has double buckles in the back and when tightened, forces my head up and to the center. It is very well made and is exactly what I needed. I  will definitely be ordering more fetish items from Fran in the future. Fran took the time to really find out what I wanted/needed and then took the information, added her skill to make amazing things for me. I am sure she could do the same for you!"
