Frequently Asked Questions About Plastic Boning

Can you sew through plastic boning?

Plastic boning is not intended to be sewn through directly and should be used inside a casing or channel.

Should I use metal or plastic boning?

The best boning for your project depends mainly on its strength and structure requirements. Plastic boning is a great option for most typical structured garments like evening gowns, strapless garments, bustiers, bodices, costuming, and lightweight fashion corsets. It's lighter weight, more flexible, and typically more comfortable to wear than metal options. Metal boning is used to create very strong, rigid garments like corsets and shapewear that need a lot of durability and structure to support being cinched very tightly over long periods of time. It offers more durability and rigidity for items like corsets, stays, shapewear, and historical garments.
