Step 7Hemming and Fastening
Hem the top and bottom if you wish.
Sew your fastenings to either side. The two most conventional fastenings are hook and eyes or lacing. The sides have to touch if you are using hook and eyes, but if you want some skin showing in the back, use lacing or get creative and think of something else. I used long loops and buttons for mine.
-Lacing-
For lacing, you will have to get grommets as well. First, punch holes in the boning where you want them, then attach the grommets to the holes as necessary. You will need a special punch for this. Then just weave cord of some type through the grommets and you are set!

heyyyyyy, holes in the boning instead of the whole grommet punching process! what a great idea...... i just made a corset last week with the grommets and the metal punch thing, and now im beating myself up for going thru the trouble lol. holes in the boning seems like it would be a lot sturdier... thanks for the idea!
