Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

William M. ★★★★★

Picked up a pack for a quick swimsuit repair and was surprised how well it holds its shape after washing. The slight ribbing gives it just enough grip to stay put in a waistband without twisting.

Aurora ★★★★★

I was worried it might be too flimsy, but this elastic holds its shape well after a few stretches. It’s lightweight and perfect for gathering the waistband on my pajama shorts without adding bulk.

Penelope F. ★★★★★

The ribbed texture grips fabric nicely for curved seams, and it cinches in without adding bulk under a neckline. I used it for two summer dresses and the gathers stayed even through several washes.
