Having made several corset cover-type garments to go underneath sheer dresses as a lining, here are a couple tips:
-If you use a bodice pattern and adapt it, cut it longer than your natural waist by quite a few inches so your petticoats hold it down.
The first one I made ended at my natural waist, and it would NOT. STAY. DOWN. It just sort of kept flipping up and floating around under my dress, making it lumpy particularly in the back. Boning would probably also help with that.
-If you are wearing it underneath a sheer gown and need the coverage, definitely interline the whole thing. On a different corset cover I made, I did only a single layer of muslin and the lacing of the corset was technically shadowing through, although you did have to peer rather hard.
-Corset covers are not particularly neccesary under gowns that aren’t sheer.

You can adapt a Truly Victorian bodice pattern. Wearing History has a lovely corset cover that would work. Period Impressions too has one.
Yes! And also good for fitting corsets. If you fit your corset not wearing shoes and then wear higher heels than like 4 cm you will feel difference in the backside. I got puzzled over the sore spots on my back hips and then I realized oh it is the shoes! It apparently make you stand differently..
