Amelia ★★★★★

Sewing with this 1/4-inch elastic is a breeze since the cotton braid grips the fabric without slipping, and the natural color disappears into most seams. I used it on two swimsuits and it held its shape after a full day in salt water, which surprised me.

Aurora Q. ★★★★★

Finally, a swimwear elastic that doesn't curl up on itself while I'm sewing—the horizontal ribs keep it flat and easy to stitch. It's soft but still has good stretch, and the natural color blends right into my fabric.

Natalie Q. ★★★★☆

I was worried the natural cotton might unravel, but it holds up well through a few pool sessions. The horizontal ribs keep it from twisting when I sew, which is a nice bonus.
