Designer's Choice Black Braided Elastic (1" x 1.25y)

This is a wide, heavy-duty elastic in black, ideal for providing strong support in garments and accessories while blending in with dark fabrics. At one inch wide, it provides substantial support and is commonly used in waistbands of heavier skirts, trousers, or costumes that need a firm, comfortable hold. Braided elastic is robust and holds up well under tension; it will narrow slightly when stretched, gripping the inside of a casing firmly and evenly distributing the tension around the waist or edge. The black color ensures that the elastic remains unobtrusive inside dark-colored garments – a must for a neat, professional finish (no bright white elastic peeking out of a black waistband). This elastic has excellent return, meaning after stretching it returns to its original length, maintaining the fit of the garment. With 1.25 yards provided, there's enough for a waistband or two (depending on the size of the garment) or multiple smaller applications. When you need a reliable, strong elastic that won't be seen through your fabric, this wide black braided elastic is an excellent choice for achieving a secure and comfortable stretch in your projects.
