What is Corset Net or Mesh?
Posted on
The corsetry net at Sew Curvy is made from a strong polyester fabric similar to nylon, and suitable for all types of corsetry. Unlike softer nets such as silk bobbinet or stretchy nets such as power net, this polyester net is like any other non stretch strong fabric and you can make a corset with the standard four inch reduction without worry that it will tear or buckle. It is sheer, durable and very very strong and can be used on it's own or with lace and other sheer fabrics for extra drama.
There are some considerations to bear in mind when working with sheer net. You must use external fabric bone channels if you don't want the bones to show, and you need to consider the inside finish a bit more because unlike a solid fabric where things can be hidden with lining, with a sheer fabric, everything is on show. However, with some imagination, spectacular effects can be achieved.
This net can be ironed with a cool'ish iron, and can be sewn using regular polyester thread or with clear/invisible nylon thread, all of which are stocked at Sew Curvy.
Available in black or natural - the net is BACK IN STOCK! So hurry and get yours, it does have wings!
