Ive been asked to make a military style jacket for a client, but cannot find any resources online detailing how to attach the soutache braid properly - Ive previously made myself a 1890s military style peplum jacket covered in soutache, but it was hard going - the braid I used did not have a cord core and was therefore floppy and difficult to make neat loops with. I handsewed it through the centre of the braid, with little spaced backstitches, but Id love to know the correct way to attach the thicker braid.
The only place I have been able to find proper military braid is BiasBespoke in NY. Thank goodness they have fabulously fast postage to here in Aus.
Anyone have experience with military style designs?
