Sweet flavored spoopy?

Hardmode: not spooky at all

Hey anons, hoping for a bit of advice. I got this dress recently, and everything about it is perfect... except for the waist ties. For some reason, they're like 4 inches shorter than regular waist ties, and for SOME REASON, they made them out of the same fabric as the bodice, which is... I know shit all about fabric, but it feels almost like one of those canvas tote bags. Obviously it's not actually canvas, but it's heavy and thick like that. As you can imagine, it doesn't exactly look nice when you tie it. What would be a good fabric to use to replace them with? The dress has a built in underskirt that's a soft meshy type fabric, but I don't know if I'd be able to fins that at a joann's or anything nearby. I was considering using high quality ribbons, like the ones Antique Beast uses on their headdresses, but I wasn't sure how that would hold up to washing, etc., nor where to find something like that.
