I did not take detailed pictures of the flossing process.  Suffice it to say, I used the same upholstery thread as for the contrast stitching.  For information on flossing, please see my tutorial on How to Floss a Corset.

This corset was one of the few occasions where I used bias cut cover fabric for the edging, rather than double-satin ribbon.  I could not find a close enough beige color, so instead I used some beige silk that is intended for a matching skirt.  Silk is a sturdy enough fabric that I am not worried it will wear through like some cover materials will.

For a more detailed tutorial on edging, please see How to Edge a Corset.

The strips were cut 1.5″ wide, on the bias.  I stitched them to the outside of the corset, just as I would with ribbon.  By stitching down one side and then the other (vs ironing the bias tape into a double-fold shape and sewing it on with one seam) I had more control over the stretch of the fabric and could prevent rippling.

I folded over the bias tape with my fingers, being sure to fold it under on the back side.  Then I stitched it down from the front side.  I went back and re-stitched the couple places where it did not catch the first time.

After grommeting, it was finished.
