Sewing a wearable corset for the first time

I started sewing in January and I already sew a few clothes that I am really proud of, but the design and materials were chosen so that it wouldn't be so noticeable if the stitching or damage was ugly somewhere. I've been wanting to make a corset for a while now, but in my country (Hungary) a corset-making workshops or classes are very expensive, or there aren't any.

I will be honest, I made like 2-3 easy wash bags/makeup bags from TikTok videos and with some hand-made "patterns" with zippers and pockets to practice straight stitching. I was in a 1-day sewing workshop where they showed us how the sewing machine works and everything we need to know about sewing basics. It wasn't about clothes but I want to make clothes so I skipped some steps on the way of learning sewing. And I jumped into clothes immediately.

So I need your help how to make my first corset, I thin I don't want to make it with zipper because that needs to be perfect on my body. I have big breast and I saw a lot of sewing patterns on Etsy but I think none of them was made for my upper body. Like in Zara I cannot buy myself clothes that are similar to a corset, which has a formed chest.

Can someone please tell me how should I start so I can wear it proudly (I really do not care i it looks ugly but it doesn't fall apart :D).

For the material I was thinking about some thicker black satin. I also don't know where should I buy the braces for the project, and should it be stainless steal or that plastic thing?

If you have some really good YouTube videos for this project i would appreciate that. Or some really good sewing pattern with instructions.

The corset should have strap!! I love ruffles and beads and sequins so if it will look ugly (because it will look ugly) I think I can touch up the corset with some ruffles or beading.

I have a Singer 4432 Heavy Duty and a Brother 1034DX interlock sewing machine.

Thank you very much everyone for your help, I welcome any other advice!💖

P.S.: Unfortunately, my ego doesn't allow me to go from course to course, so I definitely want to learn and make the corset by myself, either with video help or with your help.
