ok honey, everybodies brests are different and place slightly differently. the best way to do it is to do a mock up corset ouf ot muslin then try it on and not where the"gap" under the breasts is.. and make a ittle cotton or linen pillow or roll and tack it in..it will take a little trial and eror but it int that hard.
