Okay, I have to hijack the thread with corset talk.
My apartment management sent me a letter saying that, if I renew my lease early, there will be no increase in rent AND I'll get half off July's rent. Dood! (My lease is up for renewal in August, so it's not like this is *early*-early, and I was planning on renewing, anyway.)
So I suddenly have (or will have, in a couple of weeks), almost $300 that I didn't plan for. I should be a responsible adult and pay bills, but damn it, my birthday is coming up (see how I mentioned that, all sly-like?), and it's basically found money, not money I'd be taking from other parts of my budget.
Having justified the purchase so well, now I'm dithering on the style.
I thought about a waist cincher, but in looking at pictures, it seems that women with substantial boobs have issues with boob droop when wearing a cincher. And my boobs are not insubstantial.
So what I'm thinking is just a standard overbust style.
Thoughts?
Teppy, with my Bosom O'Doom (which also is losing the Battle of Gravity), I tried on an overbust style leather corset which handled the problem quite nicely. It was a Stormy Leather X-Busty style and I adored it.
In short, I think you would look wonderful in that style.
I am pro-overbust. You could get it in a demi-cup cut if you wanted, right?

Like a sweetheart neckline?
You know how sometimes you (and by "you" I mean "me" and possibly "some people") get a feeling of being a complete persona non grata?
I feel like this almost daily, but you are always a joy to read, Cindy.
Teppy, I think the overbust style would look fabulous on you, and you are absolutely right to spend your found money on you for your birthday. You deserve it.
Askye, much ~ma to you coworker.
~ma for askye's co-worker. That's a lot to handle.
Overbust is what I think of when I think corset. Hurray for found money!
Emails it's nice to see first thing in the morning:

(Not really here, actually getting ready to head out the door, but hey! Corset questions!)
Teppy, go with the overbust. I'll give you links when I get to the office, but I'm fond of Meschantes' Sweetheart overbust and the Diva.
We will be having an ice cream social in the kitchen at 4:00 pm!
Think anyone would notice if I came?
