About Chiarra Marie
My goal is to create lingerie that empowers women to express their individual sexuality. I want to work with my clients to create an external representation of themselves through my corsetry. This lingerie is for women, designed by women in order to celebrate women.
Right now I am a one-woman shop working out of my in-home studio in Kennewick, WA. My consultations and fittings are held at the White Glove Weddings Bridal Bar.
About Me
I began sewing in high school and went on to pursue that passion through theater costume design in college, which is where I first fell in love with corsets. The historical foundation of corsets, with their variation and detail, fascinates me and has led me to work in various sewing roles, including as a sample maker and a garment technician. Sewing corsets for myself and people I knew made me realize I was able to help women feel confident, sexy, and feminine through my corsetry. As I began to design lingerie, I made sure to incorporate the lacing and luxurious silk fabrics that are a staple of my corsets. All these events led me to launch Chiarra Marie Bespoke Corsetry and Lingerie in 2016.
