Tried Ebay?

Corsets
I'm thinking about getting a corset and my problem is finding ones which aren't intended as underwear. Either as evening wear (most likely to go with a long black skirt I already own) or as something more casual.
Maximum spend is probably about £150 (hooray for 21st birthday money!). If as evening wear, preferably attainable before 18th June.
Any ideas where to go, particularly online? I've found a few sites, mainly goth ones, but I've no idea of their reputation.

this one is by a girl that attends a lot of cons she makes her own costumes and does customised corsets - she's brilliant!!!

as you can guess they are all mostly goth sites, as Whistler suggested eBay isnt too bad a place to find a corset though.

This is another site i've had recommended to me:
Vollers Corsets
They do a lovely plain satin corset for £96...(plus £10 delivery charge) style number V1905u.. I'm probably gonna order that one for myself.

Thanks for all of that. I'm particularly interested in Vollers and fairygothmother - might make a trip to Camden soon.

Customised corsets are wonderful if you want to be able to wear the corset for a long time. I have a vollers corset that i can wear for say 4 hours,But a custom made one to your measurements you should be able to wear for ages. try
