Thank you! ^_^ The green fabric was a nice find and went pretty well with the brocade I already had.
Most of the time, I prefer to handsew my trims since I know I’m less likely to mess up that way. ^_^; *remembers puckered fabric from machine sewing trim on the blue brocade D robe -_-* Fusibles usually seem to hate me, too, so I don’t trust them to hold well enough. So, hand stitching seems like the best option to me since I’m used to doing lots of it anyway because of cross stitching in the past.
Eep, duct tape sounds like it would hurt. o_o; I agree it probably wouldn’t be good to try to match my ribcage measurement with the binding since my bust sticks out a lot and it does need someplace to go. And I wouldn’t want to mess with my ribs by using a corset either. I think my problem is having both large ribs and a bust that sticks out at such a large angle.
