Classic corsetry is slowly dying out. Times are changing, few women want to wear corsets, bras and garter belts sewn in the old ways. Nowadays, the emphasis is on tailor-made bras in a new design. It uses modern fabrics, lighter cuts and constructions that allow us to provide comfort and achieve the desired effect at the same time. We want to show you a bit of history, but also reveal the behind-the-scenes of modern bespoke sewing. One that allows lingerie to adapt to you, rather than the other way around.
Corsetry in Poland
32 corsetry establishments operated in the area of Warsaw in the 1970s. Those were the times when the craftsmanship was valued and bought by customers. Today, this number has dropped to three establishments, and the most popular corsetry outlets in the capital have closed.
It is not only the industry itself that has changed, but also the ambitions of society - since the opening up of the market and the availability of higher education, the professions corsetiers, seamstresses, dressmakers are considered „inferior” and thus less likely to be chosen by potential future employees. The small number of specialists thus prevents the maintenance of large production facilities, where the hands of experienced corsetieres could sew lingerie for more people.
Those corsetmakers on the market cannot complain about a lack of work. In our atelier, Ms Ewa is busily working to sew your orders with precision and sensitivity.
Measurement sewing is not an easy task, as it requires not only the right knowledge, but also experiments and an inner acceptance that the human body does not fit into a specific framework. This ability to adapt to the client's expectations and dimensions is perhaps the most important characteristic of the modern corsetist. Thanks to this corsetry gained a new dimension as it stopped forcing women to wear modelling, uncomfortable designs and started to adapt to women's bodies.
What does bespoke bra sewing look like today?
In an era of pandemics, the process made-to-measure bras went through quite a crisis. How difficult it was to fit any item of clothing without visiting the studio. At the time, it was not possible to make a standard appointment at a convenient time. Nevertheless, brands have done their best to streamline the process and allow customers to carry out the gauge sewing process...online!
- we have created take-off scenarios,
- we made films,
- we took photos and descriptions,
- we have improved our customer service, in which we ask in detail about the dimensions sent to us.
All this has made it possible to realise dozens of successful bespoke lingerie orders!
Benefits of wearing bespoke bras
By ordering a made-to-measure bra, you get a customised design, as well as wearing comfort and practical support for your silhouette.
- Thanks to the perfect fit of the fabric and cut, you don't have to worry about pressure, shifting cups or irritation. Your gorgeous body can feel comfortable all day long.
- A bespoke bra is a model made exclusively for your figure. This allows you to better support your breasts and ensure their proper positioning. We know from experience how particularly important this is in the case of large sizes, when typical bras do not live up to expectations.
- Such an investment means that your lingerie will be sewn with care and attention to every detail. From the choice of fabric, to the construction, to the perfect finish.
- By choosing an atelier in the Tri-City (Gdynia) like Bouduar, you have the opportunity to benefit from expert service and order a tailored set. These options will make you feel fully looked after, special - because you are.
Materials and construction - why does quality matter?
The choice of materials and construction is fundamental to the comfort and durability of lingerie. Even the most beautiful-looking boutique or lingerie studio will not make a woman happy if orders are made superficially, quickly and without precise design. This simply does not work.
Our atelier uses high-quality fabrics, stretch lace, soft knits and precise cut-outs. When designing each bra or set, we keep in mind not only the aesthetics but also the fit to the figure, thus:
- underwire spacing,
- strap width,
- the shape of the cups,
- proper breast support.
Taking care of every detail of the cut is extremely important, because this is the only way you can be sure that your bust will look and feel perfect.
Why should you choose bespoke sewing of premium Polish brands over ready-made models?
Each of us has a different bust height, a different chest width, a different breast spread. After all, these are details that can determine comfort all day long. Ready-made bras may be quick to buy, but they can never match the personalisation of bespoke sewing, because they don't take into account these natural differences between our figures.
Your body, silhouette and measurements are unique. With bespoke sewing, a bra is created that looks beautiful and, above all, works with your body, not against it. It takes into account individual expectations such as:
- better bust support, when off-the-shelf models fail to deliver,
- maximum comfort wear without excessive pressure or indentation,
- adaptation to a particular dress, blouse or special occasion,
- choice of materials, details and cut, which simply do not exist in the chains.
We guarantee you that the difference is immediately noticeable. Your bust is better supported, your silhouette looks more flattering, and you stop thinking about adjusting straps or a snagging band. It's the kind of comfort that actually changes everyday life, from morning to evening.
Added to this is the biggest advantage:
Polish premium brands such as Bouduar sew lingerie by hand with a care that no mass production can replace.
Your underwear becomes unique. Not only functional, but also personal, because it is personalised to your expectations, needs and... desires.

Why do women hearing Bouduar always say „recommended!”?
Customer satisfaction is an absolute priority for us. We have a lot of customers who have come to us by recommendation. This is perhaps what pleases us most - the trust that women place in us when they wear our bras, bodysuits, panties and lingerie sets.
At the Bouduar atelier in the Tricity, clients appreciate the friendly service, the individual approach and the results (which very often exceed their expectations) - lingerie that fits like a second skin. Women emphasise that they feel the difference between a mass product and a model tailor-made in our workshop. They emphasise the better positioning of the bust, the comfort throughout the day, the feeling of uniqueness. Our lingerie, is an important item of clothing in a woman's wardrobe.
How do you look after bespoke lingerie so that it lasts for years?
Bespoke lingerie is an investment, which is why we always emphasise that once purchased, it is worthwhile to take care of its durability and proper care. We conclude with some practical tips:
- Delicate washing. Preferably by hand or in a laundry basket in cold water with mild detergent.
- Drying flat. Avoid hanging by the straps to avoid stretching the structure.
- Storage in a drawer or box (loosely, without squeezing or pinching). The design of the cups and underwire requires a „breather”.
- Rotation. We do not recommend wearing the same piece every day to allow the material to return to shape.
