flossing



Flossing is the embroidery used to keep the bones snug in their channels, and also to keep them from poking through a channel. A knockout example is this corset at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston. Ignore that the corset is upside down, it's still beautiful.

      Dang it. Thanks for letting me know. I'll see if I can track down the corset and update the link.
