Pannier advice?
I wore a gown to a masquerade ball, with a pannier underneath — shown. It only came with stays for the 4 semicircles on each side — not the vertical tapes, or the horizontal tapes laying across the hips. Throughout the night, it kept collapsing (the semicircle stays would tilt up like smiles, and the skirt would fall flat). It was SO ANNOYING and I was constantly tugging at it to keep it in place.
Has anyone else had this problem? How did you fix it? I think I could add boning to the vertical tapes at the front and back near the hips. But the boning from the store comes in rolls, and I worry it will stay curved and won’t be straight enough to keep the pannier down…help?
