Plastic boning is lightweight, but in a classic corset of strong material, it can deliver surprisingly firm support. Combine it with steel boning for a lighter weight corset or to provide various levels of support in different areas (plastic boning at the sides can emphasize the waistline while reducing stress on the ribcage). It can be used for the whole corset, successfully reproducing the effect of whalebone. It will ultimately form to the body’s curves, making the corset more comfortable, but is not as long lived as steel boning.
Light and flexible, it works well in reinforced bodices, lingerie corsets, and crinolines.
Cut plastic boning with ordinary scissors, rounding the edges as you go. Edges may also be smoothed with an emery board or a lighter. No further finishing is necessary.
Sold in lengths of 10 meters. This boning is 7 mm wide.
Most of our fabrics are one-time offers that last until they are sold out. However, some more popular items are always restocked or can be ordered on request. As a rule, this applies to notions, where the selection is pretty consistent, but may also include some types of fabric. Look at the product's availability value – it shows whether the goods are available while supplies last, in the core inventory or in a seasonal collection.
The goods in the seasonal collection come directly from our verified manufacturers. We change up the colors on offer from season to season but fabric quality is always constant. For large (wholesale) orders, colors that have been sold out can be reordered individually.
No. We only accept retail orders through the e-shop. This eliminates situations where someone else orders the last of an item while your order is still sitting in our inbox or lies jotted on a bit of paper by the phone. By purchasing online, you are putting an immediate hold on the product. Of course, you can always call or write to us if you need help making your selection.
The estimated delivery date with your selected carrier can be seen before payment is made at checkout. It is calculated as the time for processing and packing your order plus the time it takes the selected carrier to deliver to a specific destination – this can be from 2 days for delivery within the Czech Republic to a week for delivery outside the EU. Expect longer delivery times during big sales and holidays.
Yes. We ship worldwide. The price of shipping is automatically calculated at checkout before payment after you select the country of delivery and the preferred carrier. If you do not find your country in the dropdown list, please contact us. You will find a rough overview of shipping costs in our shipping and payment terms.

As young women in Regency England swooned over Mr. Darcy, what were their counterparts on the Continent up to? Both sides of the Channel saw the rise of a middle-class esthetic, demure and practical. Gone were the arch tastes of Empire fashion. In the heart of Europe the Biedermeier brought an idealization of hearth and home, the return of the hourglass figure, and a flurry of dainty floral prints.
