Spiral bones offer the most flexibility of all bones, being
able to move both forwards and backwards and side
to side. They're the best choice for a corset or bodice that
requires boning but
is going to be worn for dance or other motion activities.
They are not a good choice for front panels of bodices or corsets
for women who wear a “C” cup or more, unless you
are using the 7/16" size. Spiral bones are the most flexible
and least supportive of all bones. Bodices or corsets
made with these bones may be hand washed, but not machine washed.
Spiral bones which have been cut down or purchased by the yard must be tipped with Bone Tips: Read more about bone tips and order HERE.
