We discussed adding some external boning channels, for visual interest, but keeping the bulk of the bones hidden from view. We also discussed the possibility of some cording detail and some useful straps and 'd' rings.
I did get a bit carried away and added some flossing – just to show what a little simple embellishment would look like. I've got some coarse weave linen which I tried out as exterior boning channels for a fairly rustic effect and the main fabric is a distressed tea-stained canvas.
This has been a really good way to work through ideas and has illustrated what is and is not effective. i.e. cording on a heavy duty canvas isn't totally successful – the fabric is a bit too stiff to form a nice shape and shading (depends on how the light hits it) but the use of top stitching to suggest cording could still be pretty nice!
