I have wanted a corset forever and now that I'm feeling more confident about my body, I'd like to get one. But I'm not sure exactly where to go, and I have some questions that maybe you folks could help me with:

1. what waist size to get for a beginner? My waist is about 28" now, though it will probably go back down to 26" when I start dragging my ass back to the gym.

2. what's the best shape/style for someone who's small-busted (32A) and pear-shaped? I don't want one with cups that I won't fill out. I'd prefer something that pushed my breasts up and gave me a bit of cleavage over the top of the corset.

3. where to buy? I don't want to spend a fortune. I don't want something cheap-ass but I'd love to pay as little as possible. What can I expect to pay? I've seen anywhere from $135 for some pretty basic ones to over $600 for custom-made ones in pretty expensive fabrics. Can I buy from the web or should I go to a shop and get fitted? I can't imagine there's a shop anywhere around here - Raleigh-Durham, NC. Then again, I might be surprised.

Thanks! And if I get one I'll be sure to post photos.
