Dressing a Woman or Girl

The ins-and-outs of donning your garb.


Spiral Lacing

I have come to know the value, practical as well as historical, for spiral lacing.  Everything i do now incorporates this method.  (You can view the video below.)

• Anchor one end of the lacing at the top side (where two holes are close together)
• draw the lacing over the top and down through the hole straight across
• come up from under the next hole and repeat until the last.
• Anchor the tail of the lacing around the last lacing

Ladder Back Lacing

This is seen with the Italian gowns.
