Lampygirl adapted an existing corset I think, it looked gorgeous. I had mine made to measure from an online store.

The way it worked was, i gave a load of measurements via email to the person making it and she made a mock up of the corset in a cotton fabric. She then sent it to me to try on and i emailed her back with adjustments and some photos of me wearing it.

She then adjusted it again and sent a 2nd copy. I tried it agin and was happy with the fit so she made the real thing and posted it to me.

I don't think it would be too tricky to make one yourself as long as you measure carefully and make it with strong fabric as it needs to take some strain when lacing it.
