Anyone got a good place to get corsets from. Bought a few now and because I'm big on top I find if they are tight enough round my middle they are too small on top and vis-versa. Size 40E on top and a size 10 round the middle. (Jean size). Is there a good site as the ones I've looked at don't seem to fit. I'm also only 4ft 11 so have a small torso. |

Good luck

I was wondering the same, last two I bought were over £50 each. First one my boobs were too big for it but it fitted lovely round my waist, other one fitted boobs lovely but too loose round the waist. Might see if I can get the waist taken in a bit. |

You could try Vollers corsets. Not sure what your budget is - they're not cheap but they are the real deal. Failing that, I think someone else mentioned Corset Story which has some decent options too. |

"Are you after a fashion corset or a proper waist shaping one? Corsetsuk do a good range for both as well as under bust corsets "
 for both points. Also curious what type of corset you're going for OP. If not going for something made to measure, an underbust to wear with separate bra can be a great look if you match it right. If picking an overbust style, totally AVOID the ones that go to the top of the breast, with specific cup-like shaping that curves out then in again at the top. They will never fit you. However a steel-boned low overbust style with no bust shaping works! Because of the straight lines it's literally like having a shelf for your bust, it feels very supportive and oddly comfortable. If you're spilling out too much - these typically reach the nipple) you can wear a see-through top (stocking, fishnets, lycra, fine jersey, chiffon, silk etc, it all works). I wouldn't bother with acrylic-boned overbusts with boobs that size, but different women find different things comfortable. Corsets-uk also does a line that are cut with more curve in but I don't know how dramatic this is compared to their regular line. |

Price isn't an issue, so will take a look. |

I would like one that is tight on the waist but supports my boobs without it looking like they are trying to escape. Definitely got plenty to look at now. Thanks. |

Thanks so much for this recommendation. I hadn't come across this website before but it looks great and seems reasonably priced.
Do you mind if I ask about your made to measure corset? I've had a look on the site, checked the FAQs (can't see any !) and also saw several corsets that say made to measure but I don't know how they go about it. Once you select and purchase a made to measure corset, do they ask you for a set of measurements, or is it done in some other way?
Many thanks to the OP for the thread and to everyone who made suggestions. I can feel some essential shopping coming on.
Best wishes,
Mrs C

Steampunk
I have a few corsets from them. Steel corsets, the more you wear them, them more they mould to you. I'm 36GG, my waist doesn't match my top half. It these are ideal. Love them me very sexy

"Seen your corset before and fabbed your pic a while ago. Looks lovely, i will definitely have a browse."
I have the one in the pic in black too. And I have an underbust one. I prefer the over bust ones, just my own preference. I get my steam punk ones from a company online called phaze clothing xx |

I have 9 steel boned corsets. All from corsets UK. Would recommend any day
Have bought a few fashion corsets in the past but wouldn't waste my money now. If you are curvy or fuller figured they don't last 5 minutes. |

Go to the
London Alternative Market
Central London first Sunday of the month.
Numerous corset sellers including those who custom make.
For a custom made expect to be accurately measured and to have a fitting of a basic mock up, before the finished article is made. Beware, once you have worn a properly fitted one, you'll never want to go back to mass market ever again. |

Corsets Uk .. they fit the best and if you buy the better ones on there they are steel boned and support your boobs |
