(Located across the Hudson from NYC in West New York, New Jersey.

Lara Corsets is a quick 15 minute bus ride from the Port Authority in NYC.)

By Appointment only please

 

I currently have a wait list for custom corset and gown orders

Most of my customers place their orders 4-12 months in advance.

I commit to 6 gowns per year at most since I do all the work myself.
