You could always just pull the extra tie/sash through to the inside of the dress so it doesn't show at all if you'd rather not have a big bow a the end of the corset. That's what we did for my brother's wedding and it looked great.
I have a corset back on my dress, and we're just tucking the tie underneath the dress like Cackle said.
Still, the fact that you have someone who is talented like that is incredible. My FMIL made my BM dresses, but we used a Butterick pattern. I found a pattern that had 5 different styles, and each of my maids picked which style the liked, and then FMIL made them all out of the same fabric.
Paprika: I like it when you burp in my ear. It really turns me on.
Re: bm dress do over
Hold the phone. ARE YOU DESIGNING YOUR OWN BRIDESMAIDS DRESSES? I think I love you.
Also--I super heart tea-length dresses.
