Thanks so much for the tips about trying to fix/make my own corset! I'm going to search around the house and see what I can come up with. Shipping here is the pits and at this point I just don't have much time left to find something online to buy. The only other thing I could do is purchase something from the US and have it shipped directly to the resort, but I'd feel better having it finished, in my hands so I know for sure if it'll work out or not. Worse case, if I wreck the corset that came with the costume I'll just have to make time to drive to the city (only 45 min away) to go to the costume store to figure something else out.
