These rat tail cords are not as bulky as the cotton cord that is commonly used for this texture (specially for reenactment and historically inspired pieces). In the case of the way bulkier cotton cord, I would cut it right on the edge of the piece, leaving the seam allowance completely free of cording (which reduces bulk to a bare minimum) as the tips of the cord would remain hidden under a layer of opaque fabric. In this case, I'm afraid of doing that and ruining the effect of the cords as the net is a fragile and very see-through material -and the cord could start fraying after some uses while the net wouldn't hide that, which is not an option for me (the fraying could be stopped with some flame melting although that could add some scratchy visible bits of cord that I'm not very fond of). So I just cord the seam allowances and leave it just like that. The final piece had some bulky seams here and there but I don't find that super annoying. I might find another way of doing this that doesn't risk structure nor aesthetic after some more experiments.

I learned something today. Thank you so much
Really interesting to see you using the cord exposed, rather than hidden. A beautiful corset.
The colored cord beautiful & vibrant. Thank you so much; I’m going to try this technique.

Stunning! May I ask how you cope with the bulk of the cords at the seams?
