Corset finishing touches

After about a week of not working on my costume, I knew I had to do a bunch of work tonight so I tackled the finishing details of the corset.  I first did the trim to clean up the edges.  I did this along the top and bottom:



Then was for the scary part:  the eyelets (the holes on the back for the lacing).  I had to poke and stretch of each of the holes first using an awl and then using a chop stick to stretch it even more for the eyelet pieces.


After much measuring and marking to make sure I didn't screw this up (I can't undo holes...) I started along the one side, which took HOURS... and my hand is sore =(  But here is the one side completed... I'll do the other tomorrow or something.
