Michael,
That's main thing you have right: so many of the reproduction corset
companies fail to realize that more adipose _around_ (as in a cup
size) is more _up_and_down_ too. I've seen far too many corset
patterns with nested side lines for sizing up, but nothing for a cup
size going up! A a gore is perfectly fitted (intentional pun!) to
accomplish that feat comfortably.
I am one of those (can't fit into an A cup) women you mention, even
though I am not by most descriptions all that heavy.

Lastly, to touch on the issue you bring up with gores and fit vs
shaping the
body. It is a valid point, and will definitely be a fine line (if
one even
exists) that I will have to decide. While I agree that the corset
shapes the
body and provides the support, you can't squeeze a women who wears a
DD bra
into a corset designed for a woman with an A cup - even if all their
other
measurements are the same.
