My corset has back lacing and front hooks. Easy to get into, but still adjustable when needed. :) I have to make a new corset soon, and I fully intend to make it the exact same way.
What pattern do you use?  I have been planning a front hooking corset for a while, ever since seeing one of the ladies at faire doing a demo of Elizabethan dressing while wearing one.
You adjust the laces in back once. then just unhook the front to get into and out of the corset unaided.  I have wondered how to adapt that wonderful front hooking closure to accommodate the Elizabethan profile....
  As for side lacing: My Moresca is back and side laced.  I have had no trouble at all getting it laced.   I just leave one side and the back laced and tied and then lace just the one side after getting into it. 
What doesn't kill me-had better run.

Quote from: Kathleen MacLeod on June 07, 2011, 01:37:06 PMWhat do we think about spiral lacing? If I do it spiral in the front, do I have to do it spiral in the back, too? And if I do end up doing spiral, is there a trick to spacing my lacing holes properly?

Kathleen, check out Jen Thompson's Zen of Spiral Lacing.
