Jovani 171694 cocktail dress

Step 2: Hold the two ends of the lacing and find the middle of the lacing by straightening the doubled rope. If you're lacing the dress by yourself, put the clip on the middle of the rope. Place the dress front side down on a clean surface such as a table or bed. A corset back dress has eyes—like buttonholes—loops or hooks to hold the lacing. If you have an assistant, put the dress on first and the assistant can put the lacing in. Start at the top of the dress and insert one end of the rope in the top hole or hook on your right. Push the rope from the outside of the dress into the inside and pull the rope through.
