It just goes to show you that you really need that mock!<br /><br />For my garters, I used 5/8" elastic and made casings for them...I believe they were somewhere around 1.25" after they were sewn and ironed. Then I made the casings for them by sewing lines about .25" on either side of the tube. I hope that makes sense! Then I added the stocking hooks and "bra" or "swimming suit" hooks from the garters to a loop of boning tape sewn to the inside of the corset. If you need more info or pictures, please let me know! The color is one of my favorite shades of yellow and I LOVE old lace!<br />Blessings!<br />gGinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14345391863552645466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1544576995054534446.post-67520799413444880342016-06-28T22:47:10.974-07:002016-06-28T22:47:10.974-07:00Thank you Caroline!
