Boning and Waistbands

Boning and Waistbands are part of a garment often used to support and to hold in place the garment. Boning are often used in strapless gown or bustier and not all garments need to be boned because they hang on the shoulders or waist and depend on the gravity to keep them look good and in the right place. However, boning may also used in daywear garments to help a seam, skirt yoke, oversized waistbands, square neckline or decorative fold to stay put. Boning in daywear is not that stiff compared with strapless gown or bustiers and neither it is uncomfortable.

Waistbands is another part of the garment that fits close to the body and therefore needed to be strong. Thus, waistbands are often cut on the warp thread. You will know that a garment is well made if it has a correctly stiffened and applied waistband. The width of the waistband depends on the style of the garment, fabric and its figure. Wide waistbands emphasises narrow waist on a slim figure while wide waistbands are ideal for full figured body.
