Best Corset?

I'm looking for a great corset to wear under my dress - does anyone have any recommendations?? I'd like to push the girls up a little bit, but I'm not a HUGE fan of the garter clips. I was thinking of getting spanx but with the pictures of me 'getting in my dress' I want something pretty. 

Any recommendations?!

    Fredricks of Hollywood? They seem kinda trashy, but they really do have nice corsets. Otherwise I would maybe check out the lingerie department at Macy's and/or Nordstrom.

    A second for Nordstrom.  I found a really pretty white corset there.  Otherwise, maybe Flirt Boutique in St. Paul.  They carry really beautiful lingerie.

    Fredericks has many corsets but they are more for the Bedroom. I would try Nordstroms or macys

    They do have a handful of more functional ones, but now that I think about it, they're not all that pretty...

    Thanks!! I'm going to check out Flirt first, because I've never heard of it and it looks like they have gorgeous stuff (from the website) and then if I cant find anything check out macys/nordstroms. :)

    I may save Fredericks for the honeymoon ;)

    I wore a fredericks corset under my dress and it worked great! It really cinched me in and doubled as something sexy for when DH took my dress off.

    Double check to see if you need one w/your dress.  I assumed I did because they had me wear one when I was trying on dresses, so I bought one, but when I took my dress to get it altered I totally found that the corset was not necessary at all.  The bodice of my dress was plenty.  So I wasted the $$ on a corset for nothing.
