Thread: Your help would be so welcome! help me make your perfect corset!

Overbust corsets that actually hold in your bust. I'm not even that busty but I find that most overbust corsets flatten me down, even the ones that are vaguely cup shaped, and I always feel like I'm going to spill out of the sides. I'd love an overbust corset that gave me a more defined and more secure feeling cleavage!

I only have "off the peg" corsets at present, but look forward to indulging in a "proper" made to measure one day. I sometimes feel that boobage sideways is a potential problem, or complete exposure due to spillage over the top with mine!!! I wonder if made to measure would deal with this ...

Getting back to topic ... erm ... love brocade, deep rich colours, stripes, and have a bit of a hankering for little embroidered floral detail ...

PS ... I don't have an issue with "spillage of the boobages" as such, just want to feel confident that they are going to stay put!

p.s. I love your corsets and will definatly be ordering one in the near future (thank the gods for student loans)

Hi salls!
Please Pm me with your email addy for your voucher!
Ahh- flossing- I do offer it but thus far no-one has gone with it as the lady who does it for me asks for £30 per pair of bones- It is pretty time consuming and she does amazing designs but it really does add a lot onto the cost of a corset- If I ever get 5 minutes I will look into doing it myself though! I do agree- its a stunning finishing touch! really classy!

For my first corset I want something comfortable, easy to wear and versatile perhaps something that can be worn both under clothes and as outer wear. I would love a red and black or red and gold stripy brocade material.

Hi Green Faerie!
Do PM me for your discount voucher! Just let me know your email addy so i can make a note for later
Thankyou so much! That is helpful- The undershirts are a bit of a funny one as theyre so dependent on your own style, I can reccomend a few places though
I seem to get a lot of first time buyers so your advice is very practical- I will look into styles that work well underneath and over clothing We do have some rather saucy red and black and red and gold brocades but stripy fabric is usually cotton- we do have a red and black stripe though!

You need one of our cupped corsets!
Any straight fronted corset seems to just flatten down anything that isnt a buoyant C cup in my experience - above that and you get scary overspill with wenchy cleavage! A well fitted cup is like the ultimate wonderbra- you can achieve demure cleavage without what one of my clients claimed as "the welsh valleys"
Thanks though- I will look into some variation on this style- it is a bit of a one trick pony at the moment and could do with a face lift

Hello Countess!
Mmmm, sideways boobs is usually a bit of a support issue- It could either be that your off the pegs are too small or too large in that area, or just that they dont come high enough under the arm? similar to fleurs post, cupped styles usually help with this as they do contain the boobs in a more natural position than the straightfronted which tries to spread your boobs evenly around your front! sexy.
Hmm, Methinks that the fabric collection needs some updating by the sounds of a lot of these posts- more opulent fabrics and more boob friendly styles! XD

thankyou so much for all the help- youve all been superb!! I was up all last night designing something quite exciting and new which will hopefully be finished in a frenzy of acticity over the next few weeks! Will update asap!

I have a Vollers corset which is a bit cupped - it's got a sweetheart neckline and a convex cuved shape which suggests room for boobs but it's not got actual cups. I'm a D cup but on a small frame and I just don't feel secure even with the accommodating space. It doesn't seem to support or enhance my cleavage it feels like I'm going to spill out of the sides. I've stayed away from flat fronted ones since my first one made me into an autostrada >_<

I'll check out your cupped styles, definitely ...
