3/8" Braided Elastic, White

Sewing my daughter's swimsuit waistband was worry-free since this elastic narrows smoothly when stretched, keeping the gather even. The light ribbing gives it just enough grip without feeling bulky under the fabric.

I needed a basic elastic for some gathered waist shorts, and this white braided one narrows nicely when stretched so the casing doesn’t bulge. It’s lightweight but holds its shape well after washing.

I love how this elastic lays flat against the fabric when I sew it into necklines—the lightweight feel doesn't add bulk, and the slight ribbing helps it grip the material. It holds its shape through the wash, which is exactly what I needed for a summer dress.
