I really do not think a bra is the answer.   (of course, I'm from the camp that garb and bras =/=)

I realize my earlier suggestion might not have been clear.  I'm thinking a bodice like this:

but without the metal and then adding a piece of leather or fur across the front of it.

I believe there should be boning in the center front, then I think diagonals along the front, and I've read to put in the sides and back for smoothness.
Got faerie dust?

I just have to throw in there that I understand the frustration...most of my costumes that I make directly from a pattern don't fit the lower if they fit the upper and vice versa.  Good idea about building off a bra...I think I'm gonna do that for my Giselle wedding dress for the top part.  Just get a cheap bra in my size and go from there.

I showed a simular design to my boss and she loved it.  Hopefully the girl won't compain that she wanted a different look.  Thanks for the help everyone.  Some one who is cleavage challanged is not always sure how to help those who are endowed.  ;)
It is kind of strange watching your personal history become costume.
