There's only one silhouette that suits every aesthetic from coquettish to gangster wife — ditch it, ladies and gentlemen, and opt for a corset. Corsets are as popular as ever: a little sexy, a little edgy, and, honestly, a little difficult to buy if you have larger breasts (like me). Have no fear, because I've done my part in the dressing room to find the best corsets for big boobs, bar none.
Granted, it's been difficult to find a corset that doesn't crush my breasts or exaggerate them to X-rated proportions, but there are a few select corsets that win my approval. In my research, I tried corsets and corset-style tops. While I'm a sucker for lace-up styles that cinch the waist (I've included a few in this list, don't worry), sometimes a boned tank top will get the job done.
Resuming my title as Bustle's unofficial boob editor, I put my 36G boobs to the test, trying on countless styles—some from popular brands like House of CB and Miaou, others from lingerie giants like Adore Me and Victoria's Secret , and some are just a click away from your Amazon Prime account.
Price ranges and styles vary, but these tops all have one thing in common: they look great on larger breasts.
The best corsets for big breasts
VS Archives Silk Corset Suit Victoria's Secret
Victoria's Secret knew what they were doing when they brought back this classic piece from the archives. Corsets with truly fitted cups can be hard to come by – streamlined boning is a safer option without sacrificing a corset’s signature lifted look.
This Amazon product for under $20 is my go-to corset for a truly cinched look. I've worn it with everything from Halloween costumes to suits. It comes in a rainbow of colors – buying the entire range is never a bad idea.
Siobhan CorsetI.AM.GIA.
If you want extra lift, straps are key, so this is a 5-star corset from I.AM.GIA. It's a given. The tank-style design provides support and sports branding, so the all-white color scheme won't give off an out-of-control bridal look.
Rafa Stone satin long rope corset House of CB
House of CB specializes in sexy bustier tops, and the satin maxi top is one of my favorites. The longer silhouette strikes me just right, while the duchess satin gives it a premium feel. Plus, the square neckline creates a vintage-inspired vibe that feels almost Bridgerton- esque.
Ashoka corset love me
This authentic corset is perfect for date night or dinner - paired with a slip dress and matching lingerie later in the evening. If you're new to styling lingerie for everyday wear, the black lace bustier (also available in plus sizes) is a real must-have.
This top is similar to a corset I bought on Amazon, but it comes in a lot of fun prints. I wore a trendy green piece on vacation and received so many compliments, so this trendy pattern is the next one I'll try.
Scarlett Wasp Scarlett Gasker
When I'm looking for a corset to wear as "real" lingerie, I sometimes choose a wasp or corset style corset. This is more like a demi-bra, so you can match it with the bra that fits you best without having to worry about choosing a bra with a cup size that’s too small. If you want a matching set, Scarlett Ghasque offers a luxurious selection in the prettiest pastel shades.
This little top really surprised me. It doesn't have the stiff structure or lacing of a classic corset, but it does a great job of supporting my breasts and drawing me in. Plus, I love that you can see the skeleton through the mesh – chic and sexy.
Denim lightweight compression bandeau topGood American
Good American knows how to make great jeans—so of course the brand's new denim corset caught my eye. Shaping compression denim grips like a real corset but doesn't feel too intense. Pairing it with matching jeans is an easy choice when I want a relaxed yet stylish look.
Lace corset top Victoria's Secret
I've tried a few VS corsets and failed, but this light line style is my favorite - in fact, I currently own it in four colors. Hook and eye fastening at the back makes it easy to put on and take off - a rarity in the corset world. Meanwhile, the sheer lace panels make it the perfect lingerie to wear under a blazer for a feminine on-trend look.
Juliet Strapless Corset Dominique
If you have large breasts and require large straps, this Dominique corset should be your first choice. It's available in three colors and comes in the same bra sizes, with straps up to 52 and cup sizes up to G.
PH5 Camellia Denim Printed Vest Shopbop
This trompe l'oeil vest from PH5 may not offer the shaping and lift of a traditional corset, but if you're after the effortless corset look, I can't think of anything cooler. Stylish tops aren't usually designed with larger busts in mind, but this one offers plenty of coverage without sacrificing style.
Imogen CossetteMIAOU
Every girl needs a red corset in her wardrobe, and Miaou has the perfect piece to show off without feeling overwhelming. It has a bony waist and a lapel neckline that gives your bust some breathing room. Plus, the zipper at the back makes these shoes easier to put on than traditional lace-up styles.
Stretch satin corset SKIMS
If you're after the romantic beauty of a corset without the restrictive boning, you'll love this stretch-satin version from SKIMS. Unlined, molded flat cups will keep girls looking beautiful without any discomfort.
