For rings, try Lacis, a store in Berkeley, CA. I think they have a web site. They also sell metal and spiral boning. (My daughter recently bought some for a corset and it cost about $5.)Or metal ones from a jewelry catalog.

(They've probably been asked before, but forgive me -- I didn't need to know then!). Two materials recommendations have me baffled. There's "half-inch diameter Roman drapery rings". I can't find any smaller than an inch -- where would you get them? And the often-made suggestion of using half-inch plastic strapping for boning -- no one around here seems to sell any that's larger than 3/8". Mail order? Use it double? Looking forward to this project -- Jo Anne _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
