The longer ties could have been to tie the blouse in the right spot, maybe tied
and tucked under the front of the corset to prevent twisting of the blouse? I
know that in Elizabethan fashion, the bum roll was often tied and the ties
tucked under the front of the corset for just that purpose.
If the blouse was worn on the outside of the skirt, and as Fran said, the ties
came from back to front, perhaps instead of tying (which takes quite a bit of
fabric/length), they were buckled--a simple buckle where you just weave the
ties in and out. Maybe the inside ties were to actually hold

1/4 gingham for spacing. I went up 3, down 3 for the pleats, (so each pleat

Return the damaged/less flexible sections. They may not be aware that the
product has so many defects per yard. Call or email them back, explain
where/why you are using the trim and ask that they examine the sections
before they send them to you. Flexibility wouldn't matter so much if it was
on
Actually, I'd return ALL the yardage you bought, with all the defects
marked, so they can see what you don't want in the replacement piece. 2
yards isn't a lot.

For what it's worth, I glued rhinestones onto my daughter's socks when she
was 5 or 6. They lasted through numerous machine washings for a few years,
then got passed on to another little girl who also used them a lot. I think
the socks failed before the glue did. I used Aleene's Jewel-It Washable
Maybe we should start an iron company, making them the way they used to.

Just sew on the back first, using an X stitch, without the stone in it.
The back will be attached, but not going through the fabric. Then set the
stone into the prongs.

I have Uniquely You. It is good, BUT I wish I had bought a smaller size.
Then I could have padded it up to my corseted size. I find that even if I
put my corset on it, it doesn't squish enough. If I had gotten a smaller
sized one and padded it out with fiberfill, then covered it, it would have

Amen,
I have a Westinghouse that changes color depending on the temp. This is
really good, as my last iron, while on low overheated and I melted a seam!
