Well, I'd recommend not wearing it with anything knit that hugs you really closely if you don't want it to show. Unfortunately that means many of the lovely bengaline garments from PUG. Also, a solid color will emphasize it - try wearing it with a print, because the variations in the print will better hide the front busk. 

Interms of shape wear, have you tried the Assets brand? It's the budget version of Spanx, made by the woman who created Spanx. The high waisted version comes right up to my bra line.

Dear Agueda,

I have a couple of corsets I bought from corsetdeal.com. They were super cheap and seem to be pretty good quality. Like the other responses I have found that there are only certain styles of clothing that seem to work best with corsets. They have to be a little loose in order for the look to be right. I wore a new dress this week with my corset and my shape was better than I could have ever expected. The dress was gathered at the bust but looser below that but with a belt. I did not take any pics that night sorry to say. But just try different clothing combinations.

I dearly love the ladies at What Katie Did. I've not yet bought a corset from them. But I might just do that tomorrow when I go into the store to pick up some sale merchandise I've purchased. When I talked to Michele at the store about corsets she said encouraged me to try the "over the clothing" use of a corset. I have not yet done it. But I think I will!

Good luck!

Aoife

Well, one  has got to do what one has got to do. From the WKD I bought a number of pairs of stockings and I think I bought some undies. Most of the bras that were in my size were sold out by the time I could access the site after getting off of work.

I was at the PUG store on Saturday afternoon with Nilay. I picked out a couple of great pieces but then I had tragedy strike and so I did not buy anything.

Dear Agueda, 

Check out the Meet up section in the Ladies of Los Angeles group. I have posted a pic of Nilay and a pic of me. If we were there at the same time, and we did not meet... an opportunity lost but one for the future.
