No Corset For Me

[Rowan MacD]

Rosamundi has a great idea, mens' clothing is a comfortable option.  Depending on how it feels, you might be able to do a strapless bra.  I need a lot of support for the girls and I even use one under my moresca to keep things in place while I'm dressing.
  Good luck!

Try a simple tunic dress with a apron over it.  Simple, flowing and not too much to put pressure on your shoulder.

The problem I see with that is that you still have to wear a bra.  The way most bras are designed, the pressure is put on the shoulders to holster you in place.   Not something you want when your shoulder is broken!    And not wearing something for support is far worse on you shoulders...

A PROPERLY FITTED bra supports you from the band, with the straps only holding the tops of the cups up, not supporting the bust in any way.  If you need to haul the bra straps up to support you, the chances are that the band is too big and the cups too small, and you are wearing the wrong design for your body type.  Something like 78% of women are still wearing the wrong size of bra...  I send LOTS of lasses off to get a properly fitted bra before making them a wedding or bridesmaid gown, or posh evening frock.  VERY FEW come back with the same size and cup of bra they were wearing before they got fitted properly.  All are more comfortable in their new bras.

If the corset fits properly and doesn't have shoulder straps, it might be easier and more comfortable to wear.  Whatever you decide/try, have a pain and stress free fair, and no thumpings from strangers!  I can't imagine why anyone should be so crass as to thump a plaster cast.  Idiots!
