Cup size does not normally come into play because most corsets begin under the bust and terminate at the hips.  Occasionally, some corsets come with demi-cups, but usually if torso foundation lingerie performs a bra function, it is termed a Bustier.

Get a tape measure and take your measurements...underbust, waist and hips.  It is handy if you calculate the three numbers in both inches and centimeters, depending on where you shop, locally or online.
