One trick which I have seen in some of my vintage costumes is covering double layer elsatic with a non-stretch trim. Generally keeping the stretch ratio very low. As Mekyria says, it does deteriorate very quickly.

Some of the other issues with using elastic: it doesn't come in very many colours and if it shows weven a little bit, it is distracting. Elastic does not generally give enough support so you have a lot of bouncing which once again is distracting and over a period of time, harmful to your breast tissue.
