Types of Corsets

Corsets are much more expensive than bustiers. The average price for a made-to-order corset that will cinch your waist properly is between $250 to $350. A corset that is made to your exact measurements, for a perfect fit, can cost $800 to $1,000 or more.

A corset with wide straps, such as a halter or cross-back style, will minimize wide shoulders. Underbusts and overbusts both are available with straps. If going strapless, a sweetheart neckline will flatter more than a boxy flat-front. My final bit of advice is to check with your corsetmaker about the sort of posture encouraged by their corsets.
