Designer's Choice White Braided Elastic (1/2" x 1.25y)

This is a medium-width elastic suitable for a wide range of sewing needs, providing a secure stretch in garments and accessories. Half an inch in width, this braided elastic is a great choice for waistbands on skirts or shorts, sleeve cuffs, or medium-sized casings in tote bags or home décor projects. Braided elastic is sturdy and tends to curl a bit when stretched, which actually helps it stay in place within a casing. The white color is standard and works well inside light or neutral-colored items, remaining hidden as it does its job. You'll find that this elastic has a strong recoil: it can stretch out to accommodate putting on a garment or moving, but will consistently retract to keep the garment fitted (for example, holding a skirt up at the waist comfortably). With 1.25 yards in the package, there's enough for one or two waistbands or several cuffs/leg openings, depending on garment sizes. It's a reliable notion for sewing projects – easy to cut to your needed length and flexible enough to thread through casings, giving a clean, gathered finish and long-lasting elasticity to your creations.
