Hi,
Being a crossdresser myself, I would like to give you my two cents worth. No matter how you try to make yoursself look like a feminine Goddess, you are working with a body that is male, and as such, garments made for the female torso are unlikely to give you a good fit. We think of women as being wide at the top, due to their endowments, but in reality, they are built smaller than a man, and at the opposite end, they tend to have bigger hips. I knew a good friend that ran a huge fetish boutique, and I did find one that fit fairly well, but only after trying 6 or 7 on .... if they fit well in the chest and ribcage, they usually were way too big at the bottom. Another problem is the look from the back, as most were laced to the extreme at the bottom, and wide open at the top. He said that many crossdressers buy the mid-section corsets, that don't cover the bust at all, and wear them upside down, as this configuration seemed to be perfect for the male torso. I have tried this method, and it seems to work very well.
In any event, I wouldn't spend my hard earned cash on a corset, unless you can actually try it on .... there are just too many factors to deal with, that might make you unhappy with the fit. The only alternative is to have one custom made, which is very costly !!!
.........Yours, Veronica
