I still bulged out.
I have a friend in Sweden that makes corsets (beautiful work) to order at a reasonable price. Something along the line of you send measurements, he sends hand-made corset.

My mother had a similar concern (grimace: runs in the family....), and an off-the -shelf model didn't work. She had one made for her, and it was not only pretty to look at, but really "held things in".

If you're interested, e-mail me privately and I'll put you in touch.
