Beneath the Tower - romantic and whimsical corsets - handmade in Bath City

Carley Matthews is the corsetiere behind Beneath the Tower.  She dwells in the City of Bath, a place of rich history and inspiring columns, which has undeniably influenced her work and instilled romance into every stitch.

 

A self taught corset maker, whose obsession began with a desire to make historical clothing, she started with a replica of a Victoran corset and never looked back. 

 

"Beneath the Tower is about capturing my imagination and distilling it into a wearable piece of art.  Corsetry is a multifaceted practice and I love the challenges this wonderful artform presents.  My ambition is to provide people with a little slice of fairytale, a moment of enchantment".
