Hi folks,
I've just spent over an hour searching (google, A9, wiki, Jeeves...) to

the common use of serging for off-the-rack clothing would be. I found

Hi Saragrace,
The warp threads as you describes are stitched on. Some corsets had
horizontal boning to make shape, and the stitching of these bone channels
are visible at the front part of the stays.
The lacing you have seen on the front is purely decorative, for the looks.

There is something we see on some stays of the 1780s and 90s - the
functional lacing is in back, and there is a lacing with smaller
holes (less reinforcement on the holes) from the waist up. It looks
like a bustline adjustment, but some of them are lined so you really
can't adjust it.

As usual-beautiful work. I have a question. It looks like you chose to
allow the edge of the sleeve to fray a little under the white trim. Did
you do anything to stop the fraying past a certian point? I guess the
sewing on the trim would stop it huh?

SCA regionalism, I'm guessing. Local custom/usage doesn't refer to the
other articles of clothing as a "dress," either, but as a "gown/undergown"
(women) or "tunic/undertunic" (both genders).
