Mrs Mole was right about a five point bustle. Three isn't really doing it.
Five points of attachment snugs this up and our Bridesmaid/Work Pal will be comfortable.
Trust me: it looks like a million bucks on her.
It really has proven to be easier to stitch the hem mark on the dress, by stitching that distance from the existing hem. This stuff is chalk proof.
Stitch. Trim and turn again.
Use the cut off part to make more tubes
I sewed the ends before I cut them.
The tools to insert more tube loops
To get the tubes to be the same exposed length, I pinned them shut vertically and then marked the seam line horizontally with a pin. When I stuck the loop into the open seam, I used the pin as a stop, to line it up with the seam as it would be sewn. I basted them in and machine stitched the entire seam when I had them all basted in. Brain Satisfaction!
Threaded them.
the lacing goes into the center loop from both directions, and can be tied in a bow around the loop.
Confession: it's actually 1/2" shorter on one side. SHHHHHHHHH.
