Remember when achieving this silhouette to concentrate your tight-lacing on the waist and the bust and hips just enough to be secure.<br /><br />I think you already have a nice hourglass shape going at the moment and as for the ridge if it's bothering you maybe try a larger bust bad tacked into the corset possibly one more shaped like Twila Tee said to not only push from under the bust but the side as well. But, I think for your size and build what you have looks quit natural in the Victorian silhouette. I think your just being a perfectionist. LOL ;) Plus, I think once your clothes are over everything with the way the skirt is designed it will help add more to that silhouette you want.delviangirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12180864533441173225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-639743988911632694.post-91256767928252474592011-05-13T16:11:48.128-07:002011-05-13T16:11:48.128-07:00Very often victorian bodices had pads to fill in t...Very often victorian bodices had pads to fill in the "gap" between your armpit, around your shoulder and downward toward the bust. The pads didn't cover the bust, just rounded out the shape so that that area didn't have such a sharp transition from a corseted bust ridge to rib cage.<br /><br />I guess what I'm trying to tell you is that this is normal to have a corset ridge, and if you want it to go away, make a pad.<br /><br />:)TwilaTeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10841928423443087985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-639743988911632694.post-34722027221211780342011-05-12T09:21:38.947-07:002011-05-12T09:21:38.947-07:00I think the shape looks right under the shirt.

I took in the corset from just above the waist to the top along a seam line, making just the bust tighter. Now it's great!Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881749452577058282noreply@blogger.com
