Had to choose between a corset back or a hidden zipper for a custom prom dress. Went with the corset for the 'drama', and the laces snapped halfway through the first slow dance.

What kind of laces were they? Cheap satin cords break if you look at them wrong... you needed something like a sturdy nylon ribbon. Did the dressmaker warn you it might need tightening as the night went on?

Used to think any lace would do, but a snapped cord at a wedding changed my mind fast.
