Synth Whalebone 5mm Reg

This is a plastic boning for corsetry, costume and dressmaking which is known as "synthetic whalebone" because it is smooth and translucent, fine, flexible and strong - just like real whalebone but without harming any whales!

It works well in corsetry and dress making where you need many bones without weight. 

This 5mm synthetic whalebone works very well in 17th and 18th c stays because it is narrow, light and very flexible.

It can be cut with scissors and filed with a regular emery board.  It's very easy and quick to use making it ideal for starter corsets and novelty costumes.

This synthetic whalebone will provide medium support in corsets and firmer support in bodices and where you need to bone period clothing which is going over a corset, a jacket for instance. 

Also very suitable for swimwear as it is completely waterproof!

Priced per metre - order more than one and it will be sent in a continduous length.
