For a "make your own pattern": www.waisted.com
It's not as hard as it sounds. Read it a couple of times before you start and have a really, really, REALLY good friend help you. I just finished making a pattern for my friend, but can't start construction until after finals week... (just a few more days!)

For supplies: www.corsetmaking.com or www.farthingdales.com I haven't ordered from either, but these are the ones that were suggested to me.

I'm about to do this for the first time, so I'll wish you luck if you wish me luck ;D
