Corset for bust support
Howdy I hope everyone is well. I just wanted to share with you something that I am going to try. Please take note that my choice is unorthodox, but it will have to suffice given my current financial situation.
I have decided to retire 3 out of 7 bras that I have that fit poorly. And since I don't have the money to return bras that I can't fit or just pay the custom fees for some bras. I have decided to wear silicone gel pads, a lightly padded bralette, and my What Katie Did Lily corset. It was cheaper and far less time consuming for me to head over to Aerie today and spend 30 dollars on the gel petals, and two bralettes. When I get more money, then I will resume purchasing well made bras again.
There are a few things that I want to note:
1). Please head over to Aerie today and take advantage of their buy 1 bralette and get the other free if you like their stuff.
2). Please head over to Aerie today if you like their stuff because if you spend 40 dollars then you get 10 off. At least the associate who rang me up was able to give me that coupon.
3). The gel covers have trouble sticking to inverted nipples, it's best to wear a bra with light padding in it so that the cover can stick.
4). For those of you that wear corsets and can't afford bras regurarly, can't find a properly fitted underbust, or don't like having their breasts hiked up to their forehead, then this might work for you because some underwire bras will provide too much lift while wearing it with a corset.
And if anyone is wondering I still do plan on wearing bras, but I don't want to overuse my best fitting bras. It's going to best for my budget and my bras if I wear my corset 3-4 times a week in between the days I want to go underwire braless.

It's definitely expensive. I also have some cheap bralettes from Torrid that I have altered slightly and wear weekly. They were a lifesaver when my size changed!
Sorry for just replying now. I didn't see the email for your reply.
I am glad that bralettes worked for you. I was thinking about checking out Torrid, but their bands are way too big for me. I can fit a size 0 in their bathing suits but the bands run large. I am thinking that I will need to take in the band on my Aerie bralette.
As far as using the corset to provide the underbust support it worked beautifully. I am so happy that I have this as an option. It was hard though because I didn't have an underwire encasing the sides of my breasts so I experienced some jiggling while I was out and about. My breasts did get in the way while I was hanging clothes and putting them up today. My breasts are splayed and rather than them being up front and centered they were hoisted high on my chest and to the side.
