Fitting for a corset is crucial, Corsets are not cheap but they are an investment buy, or a key piece in fashion terms. Do not compromise on size and quality just because it may seem cheaper. There is nothing more expensive than buying something that does not fit right and feel comfortable.
For an under-bust corset you need to measure your waist, this is the smallest part of you between your hips and your breasts. Just underneath the rib cage.
For a long-line under-bust you need to measure your hips also.
for an under-wired under-bust corset make sure you have your bra size accurate too.
For over-bust corsets you need an accurate bust measurement, you can take this from your bra size, as long as you are sure you are wearing the correct size bra, also your waist and for a long-line over-bust corset your hips too.
