Sorry, I should have been more clear. By sources, I meant some images of
how this is done currently. I'm not worried about accuracy or
authenticity of my undies :) Just comfort and the right silhouette.

Haven't got doc for it. Wasn't my corset.
It was a way of coping with the solid (often wood) busk in the front
of an Elizabethan corset. Many of my friends at faire put in a firm
"twinkie" sized support pillow, without which they would not have been
able to achieve the right silhouette.
Without the pillow they would have had over-mashed breasts, falling
breasts, or (with a less-rigid busk to compensate) a non-flat front.
None of them would have matched the silhouette represented in
portraits and sculpture.
If you're doing something for competition, I would worry about
documentation. If you're using machine stitching and other modern
techniques to make your costume, I wouldn't worry. If it's a cheat,
it's a completely invisible cheat.
