Talking with my friend Solan this morning, the subject of corsetry came up- no surprise there

For some of the online costume resources, flat corsets are easier to make. As you know, a good corset should be fitted but a lot of the online places can't, or won't, invest the time to do that. Just tell the customer to rearrange the squishy stuff.

Padding is good, the reason I used to save old shoulder pads :).

And while I agree that underbust corsets can be easier to wear and fit, to many folks forget the other bit you included; to wear a bra. Underbust corsets worn on folks that really really need a bra should be outlawed!!!

Or, at least, some supporting garment.

*Support* being the key word :).

I had a friend who once described that particular un-fashion faux pas as a woman looking "like she had a bag of tits hanging around her neck".

He wasn't always kind, but he was funny! (And, sadly, accurate.)

It reminds me of working in the costume shop and making long comedy hanging breasts out of rice in the toe of a stocking. It is very sad to have to see that for real out in public.
