I use corset laces or really long boot laces.
I've used narrow silk ribbon, the kind sold for ribbon embroidery, for
lacing evening bodices. But not for corsets.

What do you use for lacing your various types of corsets and/or stays? When
I think about going to the local fabric store and buying the cotton cord
that I would normally use as filling in pipings, I just can't see using it
on stays, especially late 18th/early 19th century.
