Ihuoma X Orchid Kauri Waspie
Description
Wrap yourself in a decadent concoction of bold silk satin, signature cowrie embroidery and soft mesh, waiting to sculpt you like a second skin.
This piece is a pre-order item, shipping in October 2026.
Bespoke cowrie shell embroidery, Kauri, and silk shades simmering with depth, this waspie is made to be flaunted. A sculpted waistband lets the hips pop while drawing your attention to the cinch. Choose this style for teaming with an outfit for an unforgettable ensemble.
Part of a new collaboration collection with indie corsetry brand Orchid Corsetry, a fellow UK based artisanal corset designer, dedicated to providing a divinely sculpted fit. Making statement pieces that feel like home when you put them on. Beths's corsetry is escapism in a box, inspiration embodied.
With its elegantly arched waistband and silk boning channels that flow over your curves, the Kauri waspie is your new favourite showpiece. Team it with lingerie or layer over a kimono or flowing dress for an elevated, structured outfit.
This piece is primarily designed for comfort, with a cut that lets you move more freely, and airy mesh panels overlaid in cowrie embroidery. Strong enough to cinch and smooth your silhouette while you forget they're there. A perfect introduction for newcomers to corsetry, and a key piece in your collection if you're one of the initiated!

Size & Fit
Key to IHUOMA's design process was providing sizing options that allowed adjustability. Pieces that adapt to your body through your cycle, through size changes over time, and to create the perfect fit for you.
This flexibility ensures you can keep wearing your favourite pieces, extending the life of your wardrobe. As a brand, it means we reduce the amount of fixed sizes we need to produce - avoiding wastage, minimising the environmental impact of shipping returns and exchanges, and increasing sustainability.
Artisan Production
Made to order in the UK
Every item ordered is carefully handmade to order for you at our atelier in the UK. Quality takes time, so please allow up to 6 weeks for your order to be sewn. If you require your pieces sooner, please let us know and we'll do our best to accommodate.
Our small production methods ensure minimal waste and no overstock, in keeping with our ethos of sustainability.
Garment Care
Ihuoma collections are constructed to a high quality using the finest materials, including 100% silk, delicate embroidered tulle, and 24k gold plated zamak hardware.
For lingerie, hand wash only in cool water using a mild silk detergent, and dry flat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry as this may damage your lingerie and shorten its life span.
Robes and slips require specialist dry cleaning. For more advice on how to care for your lingerie visit our garment care guide.
Corset Care
Please do not wash your corset. A specialist dry cleaner will be able to clean your corset, but you can take regular care of it at home with these tips and tricks.
