Corset Boning - knitsewcraft.co.uk online store
Originally, corsets were boned using very strong whale bone, which is where term corsetry “boning” came from. In later years, corsets were reinforced with metal. Synthetic/plastic boning quickly overtook the metal variety for ease of use, flexibility and because it is lightweight. Most boning materials cannot be sewn through so it is generally inserted into a casing or channel sewn within a garment. We stock premium quality corset boning in two colour options; white and clear/transparent. Our branded polyester boning is a lightweight and comfortable option compared to steel boning. Flexible and durable, this product is manufactured in the UK by Nortexx. Material: 100% polyester. Used by professional corset makers, dressmakers, bridal gown manufacturers and hobbyists, boning gives shape, structure and support to corsets, basques, lingerie, wedding dresses, strapless garments, evening wear, beachwear, theatrical costumes, soft toys and other structured textiles. We also stock metal eyelets, satin bias binding, satin ribbon, beautiful braid, soutache cord, netting material and snow sheer organza fabrics
