Dolce and Gabbana Eyelet-lace stretch satin trouser style.

Hello I think is very clear that I am NOT a designer but a Sewer. I love sewing and if I like a piece of clothing I will do my best to make it. When I saw this trousers from Dolce and Gabbana they screamed to me: Sexy and daring. I said to myself, I am going to make it. I did start my SEW-search with the eyelet ribbon, I found it but not with the same eyelet distance. The another option was to make it myself, and then it will take forever. I decided to buy the one I found.  Black stretch satin, good quality, made in Italy. Very happy.  I bought meters and meters of black cord. I did have black thread, zipper and fasteners.  I made a cigarette pants with a stretch fabric and from it I made the pattern marking where the eyelet ribbon was going to be placed.  Parts 1 and 2 Part 3 Part 4 My first issue was that the distance between eyelets in the tape is 2.5cm. It was not easy to place both side of the eyelet tape and make it fit with the cord.   I realized that I should stretch a bit Part
