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

This is a wide, heavy-duty elastic option, perfect for applications that require a wide, strong stretch band. At a full inch wide, this elastic is commonly utilized in waistbands for adult pants, skirts, or shorts, especially in cases where you want a comfortable fit that won't easily roll. It's also great for wide cuffs, off-shoulder neckline gathers, or even certain upholstery or DIY projects like fitted table covers where a strong elastic is needed. Braided elastic, with its ribbed texture, holds well in a casing and provides consistent tension, though you'll typically insert it into a fabric channel rather than stitching through it (as stitching can limit its stretch slightly). The white color is standard for elastic and is ideal for using in light fabrics or where it will be fully enclosed. This elastic stretches easily to allow garments to be put on and then contracts to hold the garment securely, maintaining its elasticity through repeated wear and washings. With 1.25 yards available, you have enough for one or possibly two waistbands (depending on the size of the garment) or multiple smaller applications. When constructing a garment that calls for a dependable, flat-laying elastic band, this non-roll elastic ensures a comfortable and professional finish.
