Similar to a traditional waist cinching corset, the center is tapered a bit which creates an hourglass shape from the center of your waist. Maximum concealment is achieved when the corset is fit snug to your body. Compression from the garment sucks the gun in while the holster itself is specially lined to smooth the rigid edges of your gun.

The corset should feel snug rather than too big. To find your natural waist, measure at the smallest part of your waist. All corset holsters run true to size.   

Please follow our size charts on the product you are looking to purchase.  If you need help choosing the right sizes, please email support@deneadams.com for expert advice.

On some dark colored corsets, the lace dye can transfer if worn before it has been. 

If the weather is comfortable in jeans you will be comfortable wearing your corset. If you sweat in your jeans, you will sweat in your corset. 

You can get the smaller corset and add a size extender. Cinch the top on the tightest hook and eye row and the bottom on the looser hook and eye row. 

• Micro will fit in ALL corset holsters. (Example: G42, S&W Bodyguard, Ruger LCP, most snub nosed revolvers, Sig P238) 
• Sub-Compact will fit in all corsets except Petite Corset Holsters. (Example: Smith & Wesson M&P Shield, Glock26, Springfield XDS)
• Compact will fit in all corsets except Petite Corset Holsters. (Example: Glock 19, Sig p320/250) 

The difference is a 1 inch height. The Petite corsets will fit micro guns (up to 5.8 inches in overall length). The Classic corsets will fit micro to compact guns (up to 7.4 inches in overall length). 

See the Universal Trigger Guard instructions and tutorial video. Remember to remove the Universal Trigger Guard Insert before washing your corset holster. 

Disclaimer: The Universal Trigger Guard Insert cannot be replaced, exchanged, or refunded once the industrial strength loop has been added. 

When inserting or removing the firearms from the holster, keep your finger clear of the trigger until your firearm is on target and ready to fire.

To Holster:

1. Uncover the garment from the holster to reinsert the firearm in the holster.
2. Have your support hand push or lift the garment to expose the opening of the holster.
3. Confirm that your firearm is securely seated in the holster before removing your hand from the grip. Failure to do this may result in accidental dropping of the firearm or an accidental discharge.

4. Use the retention tab to secure the firearm into the holster. This will keep the firearm from falling out during activity. 

To Draw:

1. With your support hand, reach across the body and lift the garment over the holster as high as possible.
2. Draw the firearm straight up clearing the holster, then drive the muzzle of the firearm in a straight line to the target.

• ALWAYS KNOW YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT.

Once you have decided to keep the holster you may cut the retention tab to the length that is best suited for retention and ease of access. 

If you purchased from us before March 4, 2019 you may be used to the corsets and tanks pretty size names. That has changed. We wanted to simplify the sizes for customers so there is no confusion when purchasing or exchanging. 

Angelic is now X-Small. 
Alluring is now Small.
Charming is now Medium.
Dazzling is now Large.
Elegant is now X-Large.
Graceful is now 2X-Large.
Lovely is now 3X-Large. 
Ravishing is now 4X-Large.

This change is name DID NOT CHANGE the actual size measurements. 

Absolutely not. Part of what makes all of Dene Adams® compression holsters unique is that the design utilizes your body’s natural womanly shape to conceal your gun. Compression from the fabric sucks your gun in snug to the soft spots of your body, which helps to minimize bulk from your firearm.

Again, absolutely not. The thigh holster shorts and leggings safely and firmly holsters your gun snug to your thigh. What makes an inner thigh holster uncomfortable is when you have a protruding grip jabbing the opposite thigh.

The shorts are designed to stay in place without rolling or riding. The secret is in the pattern so no silicone grip is necessary.  The only way these shorts will ride or roll is if they are at least two (2) sizes too small.

While some larger framed guns will fit the holster compartment, these shorts and leggings are designed for micro guns with standard capacity single stack magazines.

Unless you plan to open carry, these are intended to be undergarments. The shorts and leggings should be worn under a skirt or dress. The shorts can be easily slipped over top of panty hose or tights if you prefer.

The holster itself is safe and comfortable to do most exercising in. However, unless you are working out in your home or intend to open carry at your gym we do not recommend them to be used for exercise since they are intended to be worn under a cover garment such as a skirt or dress.

You can find a size chart under each of the products. Simply measure about an inch above your hip bone, then refer to the size chart. Each sizes jumps two (2) inches so if you measure at 35” but the chart says 34” for small and 36” for medium, you would be a small.

Your cover garment should be long enough to completely cover the holster. Depending on your height, this could be anywhere for 2” above your knees to 4”.

The gun itself between your thighs is not uncomfortable.

• If your skirt is an average length and the holster sits right where it is intended to, your grip should remain about 1-2” below your pubic bone causing no discomfort.
• If you choose to wear a very short skirt and hike the shorts up higher then you are more limited on where that gun can go.
• If you hike the holster up a bit then sit down, you have closed the intended gap between the gun grip and your girly bone and this will cause discomfort. This is where you compromise either your skirt length or whether you want to comfortably carry a gun.

With your right hand lift your cover garment (skirt, dress or long shirt completely out of the way).

The Active Bra holster is great for moderate activity such as biking and walking. 

The Active Bra holster can safely and comfortably holster a sub-compact single stack pistol or smaller- like the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield, the Sig Sauer P938 or Glock 43. Most snub-nosed revolvers will fit nicely as well- like the Smith & Wesson Air weight .38 Special or the Ruger LCR. 

The molded cups heighted the profile of your bust slightly which helps with concealment for smaller busted ladies. Larger busted ladies might find it more comfortable to remove the molded cup. 

The allows your breast to better fill the cup instead of constricting your breasts which can cause creasing in the cup. 

To find your size simply measure your bust, then subtract your upper bust measurement to find your cup size. Your upper bust plus your cup size is your bra size.
EXAMPLE: Bust 39” – Upper Bust 34” = 5”(DD) Bra size 34DD (Medium)

Bra sizes are usually different for every brand. Please use the measuring directions provided in order to ensure a proper fit.

Absolutely! The Active bra holster is a great option for carrying your firearm on a run. However, since support is moderate I recommend wearing your favorite sports bra underneath the Active bra if your cup size is a C, D, DD or DDD.

In order to maintain proper compression on the waistband it is important to follow our size chart. The waistband should not have any gap between the inner and outer layer once they are on your body. If there is a gap the chance is greater for your gun to move around. It will be a snug fit as your are pulling them up. It does not mean they are too small. The "cracking" sound you hear is normal is how the material is breaking in. 

You may have to tug and jump around to get them on, but once they are on the waistband offers great tummy support and are super comfortable to wear. 

Optimal Care: Hand wash and line dry.

All holsters may be washed on delicate cycles in your washing machine, but should be line dried. This is at the discretion of the owner. 

The Phantom 4.7 has a supportive contoured strap that goes under the belly.

No, you do not. It is just an option if you choose to use one. 

No, it does not. They do come with a universal trigger guard insert that you can attach to the inside of the pocket. You can also upgrade and purchase a Custom Trigger Guard Insert or a Custom Molded Full Cover Holster to use. 

Sizing is accurate based on the size charts provided. You do not have to measure. Each size is based on your most common pant's size. 

The holster is meant to fit snugly on your hips. This allows for a secure fit so you can wear jeans, gym shorts, scrubs, sweatpants, etc. 

Both Phantom holsters will holster a gun up to 7.4 inches in overall length. 

We saved you a step and assigned sizing based on the most common men's pant sizes in even numbers. If you wear a Large 36 pant, you will wear a Large 36 Phantom.

Due to the difference in materials across the front of each holster there is a difference in stretch. We have accounted for the difference on the size charts in order to keep sizing consistent. 

Not likely. The top of your holster should sit 2 inches above your pant line along with your gun grip. You will have minimal fabric and the barrel below your pant line. 

The Phantom 360 holsters your gun slightly higher than appendix which makes it very comfortable without needing adjusting. 

We will be working on adding a 5X and 6X to the holster style. This would then accommodate pant sizes up to 51.

Yes! 

For the Phantom 4.7 you will want to use retention from an attached IWB.
For the Phantom 360  you will want to use the retention tabs in the front. 

The sizes are based on men's pants sizes. So men can purchase based on their average pant size. However, if a pregnant woman or non-pregnant woman would like to order one, they would need to measure their hips and go by that size for the holster.
