I'm planning on getting a corset around Christmas. I'll need it for a few costumes I'm doing in Feb. Funny enough, the initial reason I decided to get one was for my wedding dress. At least it'll be multi-purpose!

True, the costume won't really be any cooler. Wishful thinking I guess. The bigger one might actually be better since I'd get at least a little circulation around my legs. I guess it all depends on what I feel I can handle. My little sewing corner would disappear under all the yards of fabric from #1. lol!!
