My favourite is a thin nylon braid that is easy to tie and untie and
lies flat when laced. It looks like a narrow flat kind of shoe lace,
not the solid round cords.

Satin ribbon doesn't stay tied as well as grosgrain does. Twill tape is
better.

it, and one for all the holes below it. It's the only way I know t
I use corset laces or really long boot laces.
I've used narrow silk ribbon, the kind sold for ribbon embroidery, for
lacing evening bodices. But not for corsets.

Actually, they lace each other. Meaning that instead of the lace going to
the loop on the other side it uses the oppose lace as the loop.
Does that make sense?

everything. Also it means you have a convenient place to put the ends.
