Re: [h-cost] Sourcing Help
It's probably Petersham. Looks just like grosgrain, but is woven slightly differently.

I'm looking for the type of belting that was used inside garments to cinch the garment tight to the body. The examples that I have from vintage clothing look to be a heavy woven silk with raised ridges - very much like gros grain ribbon, but heavier. Quite often the name of the company was either stamped or woven into the band. Like ribbon it's non-ravel on the lengthwise edges I've looked through various tailoring sites - and have found heavy loomed cottons - but nothing close to what I'm looking for. I'd even be happy cutting and sewing my own if I could find yardage approximating what I'm looking for. I've thought of the possibility of sewing two layers of gros grain together - but would rather have something already made up to work with. Thanks for any help you can give.

Re: [h-cost] Sourcing Help
Try www.mjtrim.com Enter polyester webbing into the search box. That may be what you're looking for. Also try belting. Good luck. -Original Message- From: h-costume-boun...@indra.com [mailto:h-costume-boun...@indra.com] On Behalf Of Janyce Engan Sent: Friday, October 01, 2010 11:35 AM To: h-costume@mail.indra.com Subject: [h-cost] Sourcing Help Hopefully I can take advantage of the wide body of knowledge out there to help me source this item.

It's petersham. It looks like grosgrain ribbon, but the edges have little bumps instead of being perfectly smooth.
