I've seen a custom designed corset used by an acquaintance (this year) and it is especially designed not to pull in the lower rib cage - the seamstress & the soprano took special care to be sure about this. And you only lace it is tight as you need to. She also spoke about needing to wear it for a few days to get back into the habit. If anyone is interested, I think I have the web site somewhere... and there is a pattern also available.
