I think if you care about wearing it, you'll probably have to take it apart and start fresh. It's iffy though - are the bones really bent? If the previous owner wore it a lot, the bones will have bent to fit her body, and that'll make it difficult to work with them if you start afresh. Although I don't think it's too expensive to buy more boning.
No, you don't understand - the one that doesn't fit right is a *new* corset. In fact I have never worn it except to try on because it doesn't fit. The ones that did happened to be used ones and I just lucked out that they fit. I'm also certainly not equipped to do this myself (I probably couldn't sew so much as an A-line skirt, never mind something as complicated as a corset), I was just asking if it was possible in general.
Mmm, in that case I'd say it's definitely possible to tailor it to you, but I'd consider having someone do it for you. I'm not sure what it's like there, but there's usually an older woman advertising tailoring and adjustments here. Might be pricey though, I'm not sure.
