Where would you get hair canvas. I've never seen it before. Lynn Diana Habra <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I second the hair canvas suggestion. I use it to stiffen all of my bodices and sleeves (if they need it). It is lightweight, gives a natural-looking stiffness, and breathes well. Any place that sells tailoring supplies. It usually goes by the brand name of "Hymo". Collar canvas is stiffer and you have to ask specifically for that. Both contain linen and horse hair. If you get the cheap "Hymo" it has polyester in it and won't shape well. Also, stay away from the fusible stuff which is not nearly as good and also contains polyester.
