There is SO MUCH to fitting! I find that thinking about my underbust as a stable measurement for corset stuff is useful because (since it's where the ribs and back are) it doesn't really change, if that makes sense. So if something fits there, all the other stuff like bust and waist can be added to or taken away from, but that one is key. Kind of like what people say to do with the overbust measure, but I find the underbust to be more dependable because there is less squish there. So, from the underbust, bust adjustments are kind of like deciding what cup you are for bra sizes. Also, waist length from underarm to waist, which is a measurement that is often not noted on patterns and stuff, but I found is key for comfort with corsets since that is the spot where the most reduction happens. Good luck with your fitting experiments! Sounds like they are bearing fruit!
