I did find a roll of ribbon to potentially use to lace up the back of the corset. I'm not 100% sold on it. I feel like I'll know once I see it threaded in the finished product. It's a 5/8" wide, sheer, metallic silver, which was hard to find without any wire edging, but this one doesn't have any.
I also started collecting a variety of beads. Some I can use to hand bead along the top edge all around the corset and the rest I intend to make into the center medallion piece. I tried to stick to mostly silver, glass and crystaline varieties, but I couldn't resist some of the lavender and tanzanite swarovski crystals to mix in.
Once I got home, I did some online research for beading patterns that I might be able to utilize in technique to build a diamond-esque or star shape.
I'll have to fiddle with figuring what exactly I want once the corset is off to mom and the skirt is well on it's way to being done.
