For corsets I make I use really big grommets. So a knot in the end of
whatever I'm using for lacing is fine, fits right through the holes.

Satin ribbon doesn't stay tied as well as grosgrain does. Twill tape is

Hello Laurie
I have used shoestrings in the past, really long ones. They work well and in my
use remained hidden so it didn't matter if it looked wrong.
My latest effigy corset, I had made a 7 strand kumihimo style braid that was
actually a test piece for the technique. Really easy to make
corset lacing.
Thanks for the feedback.

I tend to tie at the bottom, since it's easier for me to reach back and
undo the knot/whatever at the end of the day. I'm only doing this on 3
