Happy New Year! Got an overbust but not ditching bras!
Managed to get back on here, I had some personal stuff come up, and I am also bad at keeping track of logins passwords, so I may need to upsate any bras i had listed here, (my applogies). In the past months I had lost some more weight, and gained weight and im excited to take some of my measurments again. I wanted to also share that I ]recently purchased and have been wearing a decent fitting overbust corset in place of a bra (Mystic City MCC126 which is a short pink zippered overbust) I wish that the bust area was larger, but I can still make it work comfortably. It lfits me better than most Off The Rack overbust corsets have. It giving me some considerations about a possible future custom overbust and what changes I may want and need in my next one to have it fit better. I have heard people ask if corsets can be worn in place of bras, and in my opinion the answer is potentially yes but, at least the type of overbust corset I had supports the chest differently than a bra does. The sillohette looks and while the support is totally there, it feels a bit different than my bras. Some people may an overbust fine and discover that they are just as (if not more) comfortable than bras are, while others migh prefer the way a bra cradles, lifts and seperates instead. To each their own. I find both comfortable, as long as either fit well, so I generally consider how one or the other may work and look best under what ever outfit I am wearing.

Hey! I've had an overbust corset for about 9 months. See this post https://www.reddit.com/r/corsets/comments/tvi4b7/seasoning_day_3_too_tight/It works well but I wanted but I wanted to try out underbust corsets and I got them yesterday in the mail from Rebel Madness' Black Friday sale (it was buy one, get one 50% off - how could I resist?)
I digress, I'm getting some level of breast support *just for an underbust corset* Is that normal, or will that level of support dissipate as I season it, and the corset adheres better to my body? I'm wondering.
Questions I could ask...
I actually got two, one is an underbust longline https://www.rebelmadness.pl/k29,gorsety-underbust-longline.html
and the second is an regular underbust https://www.rebelmadness.pl/k46,basic-underbust-standard.html which they call "underbust standard"
sometimes I've noticed with my overbust corset - it kind of presses on my nipples (I know...TMI) which mildly annoys me!!! Not bad but that's why I wanted to try the underbust ones.
So, yeah, it is bust support, but it is different from a bra. Perhaps I wouldn't have this issue if I went "custom" though.
I wanted an underbust corset so I could wear both bra & corset at the same time!! : )
To be fair though, my bust measurement is right on the edge of not fitting for their Off the Rack overbust corset (from Rebel Madness, at least). So I might be pushing it with my breast size.
