The "rude comment" part referred to my criticism of corset patterns
developed from a pattern block as seen in Waisted Efforts--unless someone
with a great deal of skill alters the pattern, the result is almost always
all wrong.
As to extra padding, the Edwardians came up with an amazing range of
garments and products to generate the right shape, from the inflatable bust
pad to heavily boned bust forms and beyond. Examples:
