Corset dresses have been having a magical moment as of late, and we are certainly not surprised. Since Netflix's Bridgerton first appeared on our screens, we all had one question - where can I get an outfit in the 21st century that will let me live out my aristocratic dreams?
But Netflix can't take all the credit for their revival, especially with the rise of the Pinterest and TikTok trend, balletcore. Many of our fave celebs, such as Ariana Grande and Maura Higgins, have embraced the aesthetic in recent months and we can't get enough. Think Tulle fabric, corset details and lots of pinks, whites and creams.
Carrying on the trend of jaw-dropping corset dresses is none other than Made in Chelsea alumni, Sophie Habboo, whose recent nuptials at Chelsea town hall with Jamie Laing had us all sobbing into our phone screens.
If this is the official wedding look, we can't wait to see what delights their Spanish wedding holds. While Sophie's corset dress is made to order from Vivienne Westwood, there are plenty of similar dresses you can snap up to steal her look. Not only is a white corset dress absolutely PERFECT for a registry office wedding or a second dress on your big day, but it'll also make a killer hen do outfit.
We searched the internet high and low for the best corset dresses we could find, including some that make for a very good Sophie Habboo wedding dress dupe. Get ready to make yourself the main character with a dress that will nip you in and make you feel stunning.

What is a corset dress?
Corsets date back to the 16th century where they were worn by women and men. They’re basically a fitted garment with stiff supports that cinch you in. Back in the day, the tighter the corsets the better but thankfully, this isn’t the case these days as fashion has got a much more relaxed approach.
Corsets were historically worn under clothing, but nowadays we’re all about wearing them over tops or sewing them into dresses. They make the most beautiful outfit for any girls night out and leave you looking and feeling amazing.
