    Hello again hive!I need opinions... I LOVE corsets. I'm considering having a corset back added to my dress, but I don't think my dress would look "right" with a corset back, so I was thinking of wearing one under my dress. I've searched a couple places online but I'm not sure what companies are cheap and good quality and which are cheap and bad quality. Any opinions would be appreciated!

    By the way : Here's my dress. The back just has a zipper.

    By corset back do you mean lace up?  I'm not entirely understanding your situation.  If you wear it underneath, would it show (i.e. is the back low)?

    If that's your dress, I think it would look darling with a corset back.  I say go for it!!

    Yeah I think you could add a nice white ribbon lace up and it would look lovely. Go for it!

    FizicsGirl: I was thinking of having the back lace up, and if that doesn't work then I'd buy a corset to wear underneath. I don't think it would show since the back isn't low.

    Thanks ladies - I'll go look for alteration places now...!

    Ok... here's a question. I have a corset back dress and am... uh... endowed in the boobage region...

    So... do I want a corset bra, a regular strapless (which might be a feat of engineering, see aforementioned region description), or what?

    MissACS, if you get an answer to your question, please share, I'm in the same clueless boat.

    Grumpbear, that dress is so cute! I also agree you could put in a corset and it would be great.
