Bustier/Merrywidow/Corsette HELP!

Here's the deal. I'm not saggy, but I am not pointing at the sky either. It seems that whenever I try on one of those Bustier things, my breasts aren't held in properly. They look jiggly. SORRY TO BE SO GRAPHIC. I'm typically a 36C-D.

Does anyone know where I can go in Suffolk county to get my undergarments? I think that I really need help with this and I can't really get that online or in a huge department store. Where can I go that the salespeople are knowledgable about sizing etc???

I have also heard of that corsetarium (sp?) and it may be in Syosset. Definitely a good place to look. Also, you can try Blum's in Patchogue. They specialize in bathing suits and bras. People go there from all over the tri-state area, especially women who have had mastectomy's so they really know their stuff & know how to fix and camoflauge all kinds of problems.

i went to marys - it's in woodbury. it is great. they custom alter the underwear to fit your body while you wait. It was expensive for the alterations for me because i added straps to the piece, but it was worth it. in total it was about 96.00 for a 'torsolette' with garters attached. It was 'pretty' and didn't look like the girdle type ones i saw at blums. It was worth the trip there (i live out east). Every last inch of it was fitted to my body and they even moved the boning to lie flatter in some spots. call there and find out what they have.
