I'm a big fan of the Diderot stays in Corsets & Crinolines by Norah Waugh. I had to ajust the hips a bit to fit my curves but I love the shape of the bust. :> I'm also a huge fan of straps on 18th century stays, they look so much better (more flattering on curvy gals), give you the right posture and make fitting a gown/jacket much easier IMO.
