The weave I use is rigid. The corset will stand up on it's own on a table, And, the weave is strong enough to give moderate waist reduction. My mother can attest to this. She had to remove her tab corset after eating a large meal. However, neither of us is "well endowed" :) However, the material you use and the tightness of the weave will play a huge part in how much support you get from it. You could try adding the boning for extra support. Or use a less flexible weaving material in the bust area. I've used a satin ribbon waist tape and a busk before. They helped prevent some stretch/flex. The gusseted corset style can also be worn comfortably with a bra, if needed.mieljoliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10758426419108501188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046883078952615116.post-23688710619724081222014-09-06T07:46:08.489-07:002014-09-06T07:46:08.489-07:00I just discovered your blog a few weeks ago (from ...I just discovered your blog a few weeks ago (from one of your pattern listings on etsy no less) and I was wondering how supportive the tab corsets are. I've been contemplating making one, but I'm rather oversized in the chest department (a full 15" larger than my ribcage egads) and I was wondering if the tabs would support well enough on their own or if I'd be better off adding some boning to it (I have some spiral steels cannibalized out of an old corset turned into a costume piece as the boning starting coming out).Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11432720319328453971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046883078952615116.post-82846067004633298172014-08-11T06:51:21.695-07:002014-08-11T06:51:21.695-07:00Me encanta tu trabajo, me gustaria saber si tienes...Me encanta tu trabajo, me gustaria saber si tienes tutoriales de todos ellos, para poder hacer yo misma un corset, sombrero ... todoalienaalicantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10693905049543536029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046883078952615116.post-7281630979762233592014-04-02T09:43:51.661-07:002014-04-02T09:43:51.661-07:00Thank you, Lisa.
