Corsette/waist cincher ?

I know we have talked about corsettes beofre. Wondering if anyone found lace up ones they liked.
I don't think I ma happy with the corsette I picked. Not 'cinching' the waist in enough.

Do you have to wear a corsette under your dress? What's the purpose of it?

You don't have to. If you have a naturally flat or almost flat stomach you may not wear anything underneath. The corsette smooths 'everything' out

I would be afraid that the laces would show through the dress. I understand how you feel that is not tight enought. I bought a regular corset and had it altered to fit tighter.

Where did you get it? Did you order it a size smaller?

I am a 32, but they only made it in 34 and up, so I had it taken in.
I got it at Mary Lerner, it's a Carnival, style 424. My mom, my sister and I all got the same one (but since Carnival is about to file for Chapter 11, they were hard to find.
