I lace only my Victorian corsets that way, since they're the only ones that go below the waist (not counting tabs), and if they're not securely laced in the middle (I.e. can't move), the lacing will tend to even itself out throughout the back and you lose waist definition. I've learned to lace my other period corsets top to bottom, since I seldom have someone to help me dress---you just can't get good servants anymore! ----- Original Message ----- From: michaela<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Historical Costume<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, September 12, 2005 10:01 PM Subject: Re: [h-cost] lacing
For corsets thought it's really from middle to top and bottom. Or rather pulling from the waist with adjustments to the top and bottom. michaela de bruce http://costumes.glittersweet.com<http://costumes.glittersweet.com/> _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
