Hello Lovelies.
You more than likely don't know me, as I'm a bit of a lurker. But now I have a slight problem, and I think that if anyone can help me, it'll be someone here.
Okay, I recently received a corset shirt, but I've discovered a slight problem.
One of the bones is coming out of the fabric, jabbing the sharp plastic into my skin.
It's in a bit of an awkward place, and I'm not too sure on how I could go about fixing it.
I only know the very basics of sewing, so if anything more than that is required, I'll need some instruction.

Please and thank you in advance,
Kia.

I used to have this problem all the time. What I would do is I would find the hole in the fabric where the boning was coming out, push the boning back into place, and stitch the hole closed with a thread the same color as the corset. You don't have to be brilliant at sewing to stitch it up, as simple stitches will do. Just make sure you use a lot of stitches for reinforcement.

Okay, thank you!
Although the bone isn't visible either way, so I'll just try and find some thread.
