Here is an option: http://www.axfords.co.uk/index.html . This company
has been making women's foundation garments (corsets, etc) since the
Victorian Era. A friend of mine brought back one of their corsets from
a trip to London a few years back and it was one of the best made
corsets I have ever seen, at the time. No, it can't be custom fitted
(unless you are in England), but it would be a good option, if you don't
want to take the time to make your own.
Hope this helps,
Peggy

Hello all,
I'm making a wedding dress based on Simplicity 5724, one of The Fashion
Historian Civil War ball gowns. I say based on because the top will have
to be altered to fit, and I'm not so sure about the sleeves. My question
is, should I make a corset, or add boning and cups to the top? I do
not care about being period or not, just like the dress. Does anyone
on the list have experience with such a thing? Thank you.
Kate
