Today I heard my AAtP back-lace-for-corset-lacing rip. Three loops are stretched and look horrible now. I'm not surprised, since I've heard gulls complaining about this for years, but granted this is my first AAtP piece I'm just... Fuck. I have Taobao with better back lacing construction than this. Brand is supposed to be better than this.
Not all is lost though. I can stitch the stretched loops back to their original shape. I'm heavily considering adding real eyelets, but that might be too much work. For now I've removed the corset lacing ribbon, storing it safely should I ever fix this mess.
