Herringbone corsetry coutil

100% cotton corsetry coutil with a pretty herringbone weave.

This corsetry coutil is strong, sturdy and very smooth with no give. Since Brexit/Covid the newest batches are not as stiff as previously.  This is because they are not so heavily sized.  The quality of the fabric itself remains the same, but it has a much softer handle.  While still sized, the softer handle is a bit easier to work with and the result far less 'cardboardy' however, if you dye it, you will need to use starch afterwards.  The other benefit to this is that the fabric is now made in the UK rather than India.

Use it in corset making with or without a separate fashion layer.  This herringbone coutil fabric can also be used as an interlining in bodices, as a backing for fashion fabric, or for making  a dress foundation corsolette, ie: in bridal wear.

As this coutil fabric is 100% cotton, it will readily accept dye to give a vibrant result in just about any colour.
