Finishing Touches. Punching Grommets. I have punched grommets at the lacing area. Ideally, the distance between the grommets should be 1.2-1.6 inches. The diameter of a grommet is 0.2”.

The corset is basically finished! If you don’t want any plastic or spiral bone going along the whole bust curve - you should make bar tacks under the bust. These tacks will restrict the tunnel along the curve.

I take a 0.8” wide bias tape. I leave a 0.8-1.2” end and stitch the tape along the bottom of the corset from the face side. I place the tape in such a way that it overlaps the joining seam by 1mm. At the same time, the machine seam going over the tape matches the joining seam perfectly. These seams coincide if you look from the underside.
