Subject: Elastic Modesty Panel
Some corset have a Modesty Panel, which is fabric that is placed behind the laces. The Modesty Panel is sewn into the corset at one side. A Lacing Protector is a loose part, that also is placed behind the laces. Both the Lacing Protector and the Modesty Panel, is used to protect the skin from the laces and hide the liner or skin belwoe, when the corset isn't closed and has a gap.

Instead of using a Modesty Panel of fabric that is sewn at one side, I suggest using elastic fabric/material that is sewn to the corset on both sides. This will reduce the risk of the Modesty Panel getting wrinkled, when the laces are tightene and the edges come closer together.

One concern is that the material can't strecth/reduce enough, when the corset is wide and small laced in the back.

You can read more about Modesty Panels and how they are made, in the book: "The Basics of Corset Building"  pp.45-47.

I may have to try this out as I find it could be interesting to test out.

Thank you for sharing

To me this is only two different names of the same thing doing the same job. I want my lacingprotectors to be loose and not sewn at all into the corset. I also want them to be a little stiff. It is almost impossible to get them wrinkle free if they are attached. Think about it you have the corset two parts you pull together if the lacingprotector is loose it means both ends will glide over if it is loose and has some stiffness to it.  if it is attached you need to somehow push one side under and also working on the laces.
On some of my corsets the lacinprotector has been loosed but been held in place by the laces both up an down. Sorry I can not explain it better. On my leathercorset my lacingprotector is a loose piece  I push in under the laces after I have started to lace my corset smaller. This is not a problem as the protector is stiff just as the underbusk on a good corset and is made to follow the shape of my back. So not just a straight piece. This also means when I lace it myself the laces will just glide over it and I never have any problems at all with my protector.

The idea I think only works if you have help to lace your corset.
