Bone casing tape, looks like a ½” or 3/4" wide ribbon.
It is in fact, a channel which bones can be slid into. The advantage to
bone casing tape is that two layers of coutil are not necessary in the
construction of a corset. The casing gets stitched to the garment before
the bones are slid into the casing.
Made of tightly woven 100% cotton or
a cotton viscose blend, bone casing is dyeable and durable.
Certain time periods saw single layer corsets and bone
casing tape while others saw two layers
of fabric. If two layers of coutil is used then bone casing
tape is not required. Today the decision is a matter
of choice.
One rule of thumb could
be “the more bone casings you require, the less likely you're going
to use bone casing tape.” This is because a lot of bone casings,
if done with bone casing tape can add bulk.
Bone casing can also be used with Hoop Steel. Refer to chart
for recommended sizes.
