Twill Tape

Twill tape cannot be used as bone casing as is not strong enough or dense enough for this use and bones will work holes in it very quickly. Twill tape does not have the stiffness or weight required for waistband either. However, it can be used as a waist stay to reinforce the waist and high stress area of a corset. It is also useful for making hoop steel casings in farthingales and hoop skirts, not to mention hanging loops and label loops.

We only stock our most popular sizes of twill tape at our LA location. We offer it in polyester in natural (white) or black — 19mm or 25mm, and 25mm unbleached cotton. See price list above for available products.

Petersham Ribbon 

Petersham ribbon can be used for a few things; such as to create a strong waist stay in a corset, to bind corset edges or hat brims and for waistbands on petticoats and skirts or as a foundation for neck ruffs. Petersham is a ribbed ribbon with bumpy edges, smooth edged ribbons will not work for binding curved edges as found in corsets and hats. Our petersham is a cotton viscose blend which means it can easily be shaped with the warmth of an iron.

Available in white or black 78-7640-01 and 78-7640-90. See price list above for available products.

Soft petersham ribbon is also available. Great for binding edges of corsets or hats, good for corset waist stays but too soft for skirt waistbands. 100% cotton, white or black. 78-7618-01-90 (3/4") to 70-7650-01-90 (2")

Bias Tape 

Bias tape is fabric tape, which has been cut on the bias of the fabric rather than with the grain or across the grain. The advantage of bias tape, is that it can bind a curved edge without puckering or pulling. It can also be used to make piping or covered cord.

Our bias tape is 100% cotton and comes in white or black, and in three widths. Our bias tape has no folds, so that you can use it in any way you need to. See price list above for available products.

See our Tips & Tricks section for instructions for using bias tape or Petersham ribbon to bind the edge of a corset.
