Alpine Bodice Lacers

[Irma]

A while ago I came upon a thread discussing decorative bodice lacers.  I can't remember exactly which thread, or how I got there.  A comment was made about alpine lacers, and no longer being available.  I found some on RenaissanceFabrics.net.  I purchased the antique gold for a German leaning gown.

They are also available in antique silver.  The website has a nice variety of fasteners.

Great find! 

Renaissance Fabrics also carries large and small plain lacing rings in (IIRC) brass and silver (nickel? steel? Silver colored.). I have ordered from them several times--both fabric and findings--and have never been anything short of delighted with their products and services. They also send free fabric swatches. I especially love their wool flannel.

   Those look like the loop sides of this clasp:

  You could use them in a pinch if you get 2 sets. 
  Joann's has them on sale $1.50 pair right now, in gold or silver.
Pillaged village has them too.
    These exact clasps are on my profile pic, on my bodice and on hubby's doublet.

I found the clasp sets on Patterns of Time and etsy.  But, I only wanted the part with the lacing ring.  These were $3 a pair.

This is what I have in mind.
