The thing is--the modern costuming community is subject to trends and
fads. Plastic corset boning isn't currently trendy, though almost any
other kind is. It is, however, incorrect to assume that a corset needs
bones like something you'd use to support the Golden Gate Bridge. The
period way to get more rigidity is to put more bones in, closer
together. However, whalehone, like plastic, adapts to the body shape
over time; and I have some old instructions about turning the bones
over when that happens.

I like Vena cava design - I can actually order only from the UK companies, as the American or Canadian have too expensive shipping to Europe. I think VC design have everything necessary, including the spiral steel bones or many sorts of plastic and steel boning.
