Are you looking for a corset to wear or a bra? If it's a corset I'd suggest having one made, find the local group that does the Renaissance faire in your area for suggestions and you'll get the best quality. I have a friend who preforms in the faire Pamona and those people have masters degrees in period piece costume making. You can also check out etsy I've seen a lot of great quality corsets on there. I just got a lesson from the same friend on tips for finding one, a good quality basic corset needs at least 6 pieces of boning to really hold the shape and keep things smooth otherwise it's a waste. 1 under each breast, 1 on each side and 2 on the back opposite the breast pieces. (A REALLY intense corset often has 1 in between the pieces under each breast and 1 in between each side piece and breast piece - they go up from there)
If it's just a longline bra or bustier you're after I've heard great things about both Wacol and La Mystere, (not sure of spelling) both available at Nordstroms. Not cheap but I have Wacol bra's and they're most comfortable for sure and i think they work best for bigger girls (34dd here).
I bought a waist clincher from hipsandcurves.com. I didnt think I was going to like it but it fits great! Ive gotten stuff from fredericks in the past two. Im a 40DDD and about a street size 18-20.
I use www.herroom.com- lots of useful reviews on all the items.
Rohm's shop on Etsy makes a number of corsets. Her background is making theater costumes and her stuff looks likethe quality is great. I'm thinking of getting this corset to wear under my dress: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=39209682
I also reommend herroom.com. I got my Goddess strapless from there and they had lots of great reviews from lots of women of all different sizes. I advise you to pay attention to any hints they give you about going up/down a size.
This might be a bit late, but I just read your post. I tried EVERY bridal corset out there, many orders to herroom.com and other sites. The BEST bridal corset I found is by Flattering Me. I swear by this thing! It sucks you in and supports insanely well. I found that ordering a cup size down from what I normally wear worked better. It helps to push "them" up, instead of "them" falling into the cups. Anyhow, if you try a couple sizes, you will get what I mean. Good luck.

So I'm wearing the Casalanca 1900. I need to find a corset of some sort to wear . I'm having a hard time find something in a ivory color in a 38D. Any suggestions? Where did you buy yours.
