Dark Garden 321 Linden Street, San Francisco, CA 94102

"I had been a fan of Dark Garden for years! A friend of mine passed down a used underbust she purchased from their store ages ago, and I had a good time wearing it to an event. I've always wanted to visit the store in person, and finally had my chance when I went to their store to visit their business neighbor, Revelation In Fit. The ladies in Dark Garden were really nice and directed me to my appointment, and also invited me to check our their store afterwards if I had the time. Which I did, and I did. Kay and a new clerk (my apologies for not getting her name, but she was awesome and gorgeous, and I wish her all the best in her new position at the store!) helped me out in trying on their demo corsets. One overbust model and one underbust model. The fitting results from the models I tried (Eden and Valentine) were BEAUTIFUL! And Kay was knowledgeable and encouraging. I really appreciated her help! Since it was after another appointment, i wasn't prepared to go all-in on a corset at that time. However, I WILL make my way again to "Dark Garden" to fully partake in their beautiful delights. I'll want to get a corset (or two) to help bring some special drama to my wardrobe. Thank you so much for such a fun experience!"

"This is my first none custom purchase from Dark Garden. I had ordered my wedding corset and a customer corset and pencil skirt in the past. I was in need of classic black pencil skirts for work, I had just worn mine out! This skirt is off the shelf, pull in style and so confortable. I will be ordering more. PS. The custom peices I have purchased in the past will he front and center on my 20th anniversary weekend in.late June. Thank you to the staff of Dark Garden for exceptional art to wear."

"Amazing as always! I purchased one of their new shoulder supports and it's fantastic. It is made of soft leather and is very comfortable to wear as well as being and easy to don and doff. I can already feel the difference it is making in addressing my shoulder pain."

"We visited DG for the first time last weekend as was thoroughly impressed with the company and personnel. The quality of the products produced is stunning and the staff was amazing! We had set a 'Boutique' appointment to have my wife fitted for a corset and were initially assisted by Alexandra who was incredibly accommodating, knowledgeable, bubbly and so forth until or appointment's 'fitter' was ready. We were then assisted by Carynn, the store manager, who was also amazing! She quickly narrowed down the right size and fit of a corset, matching our wants and needs. She patiently explained everything from the construction of the corset, fit, wear, etc. It was an awesome experience and, from someone who's personally worked in retail and specifically retail clothing including custom garments, I was thoroughly impressed. Then the coup de gras. As my wife was trying on the Rosalind gown, Autumn, the founder and owner came in and assisted us, too. Top to bottom, the experience was amazing. I HIGHLY recommend visiting their establishment or engaging with them if you are in the market for a corset, custom bra, etc...you will not be disappointed! We ended up ordering one corset and planning for a second...and third. And a dress. And some other stuff. Anyway, check them out! PS - I think the Uggs really tied the look together, don't you? =P"

"Dark Garden is the place to get real hand made from start to finish corsets. Other online shops might say handmade but it's like Nike is handmade. Dark Garden's workshop is in the back of building, behind the sales floor and you can poke your head behind the curtains to see wonderfully skilled seamstress's sewing up a storm. They are a local business who support the local community. Come in and get fitted by one of the knowledgeable sales staff or make an appointment with one of the in-house designers. Come and see why celebrities get their corsets from here."
