Corsets Boulevard - Advice wanted Please!!

I am thinking of purchasing a corset to wear under my wedding dress... to hold me all in and hopefully reduce my hips... from various reviews, it appears that the company 'corsets boulevard' seem to be very good and well priced.

I am a size 18 and have 36G boobies... i dont want them up under my chin.. or spilling out for that matter. Should i be buying an 'underbust' or full corset

My wedding dress is strapless, so dont want any ''frills'' or seams showing either

To me, £30 is A LOT of money to be spending on underwear, so dont want to buy one to be disappointed... how comfortable are they to wear? what size should i buy etc....

any advice would be very gratefully recieved!!

Thanks

    i found the corset good but it is hard to bend when wearing it! i think a bodyshaper is better and flexible is better IMHO. it will hold in your mid section very well.

    another thing was that i am a size 16 and i could not fit into wedding dresses with the corset on. the moment i took it off and went for the bodyshaper i slipped in no worries.

    I have to say that for buying something like this it would be best to go to a shop and get fitted properly, that way it will be comfortable and you'll be able to get the effect you want. Does mean you will be paying more though.
