corsetry, a craft

A creative house since 1930, Maison Lejaby cultivates its expertise through the know-how of its Lyon creative workshops .

It perpetuates and reinvents, according to the rules of art, unique lingerie of beautiful craftsmanship made from the finest materials.

Between 30 and 50 elements make up a Maison Lejaby bra, assembled in 30 to 40 assembly steps by the corset makers.

The style

Maison Lejaby is a Creative House which, like Gabrielle Vianney, its founder, has always left its mark with a creative signature , combining bold classicism and natural elegance .

Our stylist's mission is to respect and play with these codes to develop, each season, using sketches, high-quality, modern, and witty lingerie. She imagines exclusive and subtle cuts, shapes, and colors and creates unique combinations of noble and delicate materials.

To define the feasibility of each shape, the stylist works in close collaboration with the model maker, the research and development manager and the design office , based on her sketches, creative boards, color ranges and materials.

The collection's design work then passes into the expert hands of our designer , who then finalizes the sketches. Prototyping lasts approximately six months. Each model can be redesigned up to six times.

The model maker adjusts the prototypes . They will be tested and modified until the desired fit is achieved, in order to achieve the perfect combination in terms of design, fit and efficiency.

Once the model is ready, the grading, variation of the basic model into different caps, and the cutting of the pieces can begin.

Maison Lejaby's corsetry expertise allows you to go up in size and up to an H cup . Finding the equation for a modern and sharp cut without compromising on support and comfort is the challenge for the model makers.

A small batch will be produced by our seamstresses to validate the fit. It will be examined during the fitting by the pattern maker, then worn and washed to obtain feedback on comfort, material, and fit. After the final pattern approval, the designs will be sent to the workshops in the hands of our seamstresses.

corset seamstresses

Our corset seamstresses craft the designs according to the pattern maker's instructions. They have been the custodians of the Maison's expertise for over 95 years. They create bras from paper patterns. From the delicate cutting of materials to the precise assembly of the creations, they also preserve the Maison's expertise.

They are also the ones who will identify any difficulties that may be encountered during manufacturing and who, with the model maker and the design office, will find optimized assembly solutions.

It is in their hands and under their sewing machines that the bras will take shape, be tested and then launched into production.
