Black Curved Petersham Ribbon, 25 mm (per metre)

Black curved petersham, 25 mm wide, sold by the metre.

Petersham is the ribbed ribbon couturiers use to finish waistbands. This one is woven with a gentle curve, so it follows the shape of the body above the hips instead of standing away from it. Use it to face the waist of a skirt, to finish the top or bottom edge of a basque, or as an inside waist stay on a fitted dress. It keeps the waist firm, stops it stretching and gives a clean, comfortable finish against the skin.

Making the basque from our Design Atelier? This is the petersham the pattern uses to finish the waist, so you have everything you need to complete your piece.

Choose the number of metres you need: one metre is enough for most waistbands.
