Hi, I call myself Ignatz after Dan Herriman's character in the old "Krazy Kat" comic strip. I'm 44, father of 3, husband to one, crazy about music and books and food and movies and history and martial arts. I've had some wild and crazy times in my life, and I figure I might as well put in some of my perspective.
I promise not to talk down to anyone or make fun,and I promise not to BS anyone. If you're old enough to ask a frank question, you're old enough to get a frank answer. Oh, and if you ask me a question directly, please be patient. I'll get back to you as soon as I can. My life's a bit hectic. :-)

Well, what you're looking for is more precisely a bodice (my wife's best friends are a theatrical costume designer and a bridal designer, gimme a break here). A corset has a lot of stiff plastic or steel boning in it to provide support, and the Hot Topic stuff doesn't have that as far as I know. You'd have to look at shops locally if you don't want to buy on-line.
If you're feeling adventurous, there are any number of websites that have instructions on making bodices. (Definitely cheaper than custom-ordering.)

The tricky part is getting the proper fit, and reinforcing the seams so they don't come apart on you.
Hope this helps.
