For my current corset (made about 3 years ago) I bought the hardware from Farthingales in Canada, but more recently I've bought hardware for a cage crinoline from A Rare Notion in Melbourne http://www.ararenotion.com.au/ and I was happy with their service.

I agree about doing up your own corset...... if your laces are long enough (and they should be) just cross the laces over, hook them over a door knob, face the door and then you can exert some pull on the laces as you step backwards, working the laces from top to bottom... putting on a corset should be an easy process... granted the Elizabethan styles that are laced right up to your shoulder blades would be interesting to try...... Elizabeth, you are in Canberra?, where do you by you corset supplies from (spiral steel and busks)?
