Is it a waist corset or full corset/bustier? You could make the waistband of the skirt extra long to go up under the corset. You could hand sew the skirt to the corset and put the skirt zipper where the corset fastens?

Depends on the fabric of both the skirt and the corset, and is the corset a straight edge or does it finish in a point at the front? I was a wedding dress designer and maker for many years, pm me if you like with a photo and more details and I'll be able to help more x
