Spiral lacing

[DonaCatalina]

Well, this article on Facebook offers some pros and cons of various lacing types based on how tight they stay after done up, etc.

Of course, it's really hard to beat "easy enough for Milord to lace me up without a lot of explanation and drama" as an argument in favor of standard (shoelace-style) lacing!!

Other than that, for some reason there does to be less slippage. But that could also be because His lordship likes to do a double spiral. (Or as a design engineer might say; a double helix)

well, I did wonder if you said something naughty and the filter got it.

Haha!

As for benefits of spiral lacing VS X lacing.... well, I like both. But I think it's easier to tighten spiral lacing. Not quite sure why. But I know from the past that X lacing is easy to get tight in the bottom and on top, but the middle tend to bulge. I never have this problem with spiral lacing.

When I get working on the Elizabeth Bathory gown wnawmblw, I am going to recommend Spiral lacing for the back. That will work slick.

Heeheehee...I can honestly say I've not ever worn a "wnawmblw" before ~ I am looking forward to it  and I agree; I think spiral lacing will work beautifully with it!
