With this new found interest in costuming my dressmaking skills are getting a brush up here. Boning – Not Just for Corsets from the publishers of Threads covers boning everyday garments in order to produce a good fit. When to add boning , choice of bones and fitting the bones are all illustrated clearly in this article by Susan Khalje.
For your stitching adventures!
Thanks for the helpful post. Last weekend when I was finishing my daughter’s dress for the dance (that night of course) I was unsure of how to handle the boning that was sewn in. I had never used it and reading the Threads article helped me finish her dress so that she didn’t look like a malformed human. Thanks for the help. She and it looked great.
