Gee, you'd think this would be a cinch ;-)

Philadelphia or PA 'Burbs - Lingerie or costume shops or anywhere that I can get a plain red corset or bustier. (answers might get NSFW)
I'm looking for other costuming of the adult variety as well, so related shops would be appreciated as well, but my primary focus this week will be for the corset/bustier.
I'm looking for something very plain, minimal lace or designs. Can be any material (satin, vinyl, leather...) Lace or zipper in the back.
Of course I could find one online, but I'd like to try it on and purchase it.
Thanks in advance!

Response by poster: Thanks for all the help so far.
I did indeed try google, however, I am looking for personal recommendations of places that would most likely have what I am looking for.
Thanks!

Seriously? Nobody suggested Passional. When I lived in Philly, they were my go-to location for everything sexual or fetishized.
Their entire front room is corsets and latex dresses. I've definitely seen some minimalistic one. Most of them lace up at the back.

Delicious Boutique in Northern Liberties makes corsets. It's pretty much all they do, so if they do not have what you need you can bet that they will make it for you.

I can't speak to the Philly area, but if you have the option of following 8dot3's advice, I would go with having one custom made/fit for you. There's a world of difference if it's something you're going to wear more than once.

Oh, and 9dot3 is totally right. Delicious will hook you up. In fact, I think Passional sells Delicious stuff, IIRC.

Also, there's a 'fetish' shop in Center City... Passional.
