Leo A. ★★★★★ Oct 22, 2026

This white braided elastic has just the right amount of give, and it stays flat even after washing. I used it to replace the worn-out waistband on a pair of lounge shorts, and it worked perfectly.

Miles B. ★★★★★ Oct 20, 2026

This white braided elastic worked perfectly for the neckline on a summer dress I made. The ribbing helps it stay put without twisting, and it's lightweight enough that it doesn't add bulk.

I needed a lightweight elastic for a swimsuit and this one narrows just enough under tension to lie flat without bunching, which made the waistband much cleaner than my last try.
