I wonder if shoelace is suggested because the diagonal braid will be a bit more flexible than ribbon? But yes, elastic. :-) One tip I remember, and I probably read it on H-costume, is that you may not want the high waistline to be snug. If you have any bit of a tummy, it will look pregnant. let it skim. Since you are talking about using a modern bra, you don't need the waistline to add any support. Look for a balconette bra. They have wide-set straps and a push-up effect. They're a great cheater to get the wide, square Regency neckline. -Carol _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
