Oooh, we didn't think to add straps. Maybe she can salvage it with straps! Thanks for the idea!

Right, but without straps, yes? I'm saying that the problem she had probably arose from not having straps rather than not having tabs. Also that she could add boned tabs (though not easily, as the boning has to go all the way up into the corset) and that would help some, but that adding straps would help more (and be much simpler!). My phrasing did assume that the corset already had tabs--sorry about the confusion.
