I can understand your point. We are a bit heavier in general, but I think
it'd effect the cleavage line than anything.
You are getting a shelf in you corset because it doesn't fit quite right,
comercial pattern? Your modern bra is because of the same problem. Often
times comercial pattern makers will scale up from the perfect sixe 12
manikin. Not many people are that perfect. Store bought bras are the same
way. They don't actually make my size in bra...a 34DDD1/2, so I usually
have the four boob effect, or the band moves around too much, or I alter.
For your corset, try raising the front a bit. Make a mock up, too long in
height from the armhole depth line up. Try it on, adjust where you want
your breasts to sit, and then get someone else to mark your top of corset
line. You should have a nice rounding, but no spillage/shelving.
Hope that helps, and I'm not offending anyone.
