How to Make a Basic Ribbon Corset
Edge and Grommet the Back Panels
To edge the back panels, I followed the same proceedure as on the busk panels. I trimmed everything down, cut a small strip of ribbon, and stitched it in place on the outside of the corset. As before, it can be hand stitched if you prefer.
This is what the corset looked like after all the finishing details.

Hello Sidney, I am finally going to try and make a ribbon corset using your tutorial as a guide. I think that I have read it at least three times! I wanted to thank you for so many details. I agree that being able to do as much marking on the pieces will help not to mix them up. I know that I will need to focus.
Yay! I’m glad you are finding it helpful, and I wish you much success.
