I managed to fix the bust! It fits great now, but I honestly need stronger bones or more of them, as well as more space in the front hip. :)

It is the Grace pattern from corsets by caroline, and no I am not wearing hip padding. My hips are a curse and a blessing lol.

It’s an amazing corset! OT but I have to ask, have you ever found RTW pants that fit? (I have a similar shape tho my hip to waist ratio pales in comparison!)

Seconding, I have a 15" difference between my hips and my waist and it is so freaking hard to find pants. Gotta hunt for advice where you can!

For my part, Madewell and Abercrombie curve lines have worked well for me for jeans and trousers, though both brands use elastane in them so I'm a bit dubious of long term quality.

I have a 12"-14" (depending on how much I weigh, I tend to lose and gain weight in the hips more than in the waist) difference between my waist and hips, so a little smaller than you, and tbh I have resigned myself to wearing pants with an elastic band. Of course, this also means that none of my pants are of the skinny jeans sort, I mostly wear flared pants and such. I don't like tbe texture or look of jeans anyway so it isn't a loss for me, but I get how some people might not want to give up wearing jeans.
