About Us

 

“Fashion passes.......but style remains....”    (Coco Chanel)


Every woman loves to kick off her shoes, take off her make-up and relax in her favourite baggy clothes in front of a good film, enjoying a glass of wine, without any pressure on how she looks.. but...!...

Every woman loves the thought of being able to walk into a room, wearing an outfit 'to die for', and drawing nothing more than admiring looks from those around her. Some, with the courage, will walk over to her, nervous but excited, just to say: "You look amazing, absolutely fantastic..."

 

Who are Tout Ensemble? What is our aim?

Tout Ensemble would like to share with you our "passion for style"..... and the extraordinary!

Our aim is two-fold: firstly, to show you different outfit ideas centred around the corset,  to create that 'je ne sais quoi' and, secondly, to provide you with everything that you need for your outfit (ensemble) under 'one roof'. We know that there is nothing more frustrating than having to traipse round the shops or endlessly search through site after site on the web to find what you want. Indeed, we have taken time and care to source and select accessories to create our range of outfits.  You may want to choose one of our already-designed outfits or to create your own from our range of products - or it may be that you just want an individual item, no matter how small - the choice is yours. All the outfits and individual items actually work very well together. These are just a few of my favourite things!

Why the corset outfit?

For years we have loved the corset as a fashion piece and we have chosen it as the centrepiece for our outfits, not only because it is so flattering to the figure but also because it is very versatile. Every corset can be combined with a variety of accessories to form different outfits for many different occasions. "It is a fallacy to hear that the corset is uncomfortable and controlling....in fact it is just the opposite...'I find it empowering and liberating!' "

Different occasions - different looks

For a more formal look, such as you might want for a ball, a wedding, a special function, we have combined the corset with garments such as a long skirt -silk, velvet, suede, taffeta - with high heels and long gloves to complete the look. For something more daring and 'out of the ordinary', to put some pizzazz into a fun night out, we have selected a range of soft lambskin leatherwear, some to our own design, such as a short skirt, 'pedal pushers', jackets and coats, or with leggings and other accessories. We have complemented these with amazing leather thigh boots and high heels that are eye-catching and sassy.

Only the finest corsets

We have selected the finest corsets available, all individually hand-made by skilled corsetières in small family-owned businesses in the UK. (For more information, see 'About Corsets')

Our accessories

Our leatherwear and all other clothing and accessories also come from small established UK firms. Our amazing selection of high heels and thigh boots are imported from Italy, Spain, Brazil, USA and all around the world.

Menswear

We have introduced a number of items in leather for men - trousers, waistcoats, coats, boots and accessories.

Outfits or individual items?

So, take a look at our different corset outfit ideas to see which most appeals to you for the occasion you have in mind. Please also look through our individual items - shoes, boots, skirts, tops, leggings, gloves, etc - to create your own ensemble or to purchase just a single piece of clothing or an accessory.

Discounts, packaging and delivery

We will deduct 10-25% off the list price when you buy any 2 or more items, whether or not they form part of a displayed outfit. (Please note: that we have already applied the 15/20% discount on the price of the outfits). We have beautiful gift boxes and packaging for most of our range and complimentary extras too. And all delivered at no extra cost to your door in the UK mainland....... and to anywhere else in the world for a small nominal charge.

Need some help and advice to choose the right corset or outfit and the right size?

Be sure to read our other sections for further information - About Corsets, Sizing Information, How to Order. However, we are sure you will want some advice on some of the outfits or individual items, especially since the corset is such a personal garment, so please do not hesitate to contact us - by telephone or e-mail - or why not pay us a visit? (Just contact us to arrange this....we are now open 7 days).  We want you to be completely happy and satisfied with your purchase.

HAPPY WEARING!
