female only I need some retail therapy!

corset place is having a big sale. I want something that would look nice under a jacket or something.... I have a quirky sense of style but have to be a bit careful to not get overly sexy looking. I am not a shy dresser.... I at times think I border on tacky but it comes from a lifetime of ugly mom jeans and fleece... ain't gonna do it!

Since plastics, I have found that my boobs get more attention than is always appropriate..haha. I don't want them popping out the top so to speak so finding the "right" one is important. I don't really need something to hold my gut in as I am reasonably lump free - though not perfect!

Anyway ladies, do some window shopping with me.... I measure about 39-40 breast and around 29-30" waist so I cant figure out what size fits but I emailed them.. Last corset I bought was labelled "medium" but isn't big enough. Well, maybe if I had 3 handmaidens to lace me in... but i don't!

Oh, and I am cheap, i am not paying $57 for that awesome steampunk "waist pack" although it would be awesome for going dancing!

Hmmmm - I like the Volumina: Brown Satin Shoulder Straps Corset or the Juliet: Green and Black Brocade Overbust Corset. The Lady: Long Silver Brocade Pattern Corset looks like it would too long and uncomfortable if you sit. What color jacket are you wearing with it?

How in the name of heaven do you get into and out of those things by yourself. I could suffocate before hubby got me unlaced!

They have industrial strength hooks that go down the front.... they work really well if you get the right size.

Right now I just have a black jacket, but open to other color ideas - this will be a winter "going out" look

As an aside, I love corsets and steampunk. I did my best steampunk costume a couple halloweens ago. Sadly, I am at work and won't be able to click on the link right now (I mean, I probably could, but I try not to look at lingerie while at work). But I will give my opinion when I get home!
