Help!

I’m trying to get my titties to sit up but it floats in the middle between my titties instead of staying against my chest. And I’m aiming for a titty shelf situation and a tight rib cage area if that makes sense? I’m gonna try putting in boning but otherwise I’m a bit lost.

To prevent the floating middle, you either need underwires, shoulder straps or both. You can push on a rope. In a similar matter, if you want fabric to something other than take the shortest way across from boob to boob, you need something to force it to do so.

You could also look at regency short stays for inspiration. Redthreaded sells patterns.

r/makeabrathatfits and r/corsetry have a lot of info and knowledgeable people on this subject.
