Romantasy Exquisite Corsetry

I am so happy with the beauty and quality of my corset! Ann is so knowledgable and guided me through the process, helping me find the right corsetier to create my corset. Thanks!!!

Anne personally measured me for a corset a few years ago, and outsourced it to one of her suppliers. When I received the corset, it was of very good quality. However, the fit was so poor, there was a gap at the top and bottom enough to hide a couple of softballs within. It must have been made for someone else. Very disappointing and expensive experience.

I went to Romantasy with a request to use some really old, partially stained lace and somehow make it into a beautiful corset and Ann and Jill did just that! Working with Ann during the entire process was so easy and she is just a joy to work with. Ann brainstormed with me (as I tried to deconstruct my grandmother’s wedding dress to make it into something that would fit me and hide the stains) and Ann played such a big part in helping to create just an amazing corset that I wore for my wedding. Being in San Francisco made it really easy to have Ann help with the measurements and fittings so it fit great. Jill did an amazing job with the corset — it is beautifully constructed. I am very impressed by her work! Another huge plus was that Ann was able to work with me to help me stick to my budget and while a corset is an investment it would have cost a lot more at some of the other places around town. It is truly exquisite and am so happy with the result. I got so many wonderful compliments at the wedding about the corset :) Thank you Ann and Jill!

Anne and her stable of corset-​makers and seamstresses do exquisite work. Anne was especially great when planning my wedding outfit. Her wedding consultations are worth every penny, and I highly recommend that service. She helped me pick the perfect person to make my corset, skirt, gloves, etc. The results were just wonderful– everyone was amazed by my wedding ensemble!

YES YES YES!!! I remember when Romantasy was just a little hole in the wall on Moulton Street and Midori did the modeling. Ann Grogan, the owner, gave me my first introduction into the world of corsets and corsetry.
Dark Garden may get all the notice because of their storefront but ROMANTASY started it all and they are still #1 in my book.
I make my own corsets now, but if should ever indulge myself in allowing someone else to make my corset, I’d come here first!

am i the only one here who remembers when Ann had her own boutique in the city??? i remember checking out the place once.. .i remember it was a beautiful, warm, welcomming place. when i heard the store no longer existed i was a little sad.
nowadays, you can make an appointment with Ann and she will help you choose the right garment. the order is then sent out by to any of her corsetmakers.. .no need to worry. Ann is an expert when it comes to corsetry, so when your corset arrives you can be assured that the fit will be perfect. i was very pleased with my waist cicher.
Ann is extremely kind, patient, openminded and knowledgable.

These corsets are Amazing and the owner is even better! The corsets craftsmanship is spectacular, better then any corsets I’ve ever seen. Ever stitch is even, there is GREAT attention to detail, and are just gorgeous corsets. There are a ton of choices of corsets to choose from. Not only just the materials used but the time period, silhouettes and so much more.
Not only do the corsets have great quality but the owner is an Amazing woman. She’s great to work with and wants nothing more then her clients to be happy. She’s extremely knowledgeable and wants to spread that knowledge.
I hope when you are choosing a corset you go to Romantasy because they are the overall best.

Dark Garden gets all the reviews but I remember when this place first opened up and Midori used to model corsets for them in the early 90s. They have a handful of corsetiers that specialize in certain period corsets or special materials/​textiles. Some say they are a bit pricey but realize that they specialize in CUSTOM MADE corsets from Ballroom to Fetish and everything in-​between.
