Frequently Asked Questions

What is horsehair braid used for in sewing?

Horsehair braid (also called crinoline braid) is a stiff, woven trim sewn into hems to add body, flare, and structure. It’s popular in ballgown hems, petticoats, costume skirts, and any garment where you want the hem to hold its shape and stand away from the body.

What is corset trim and how is it applied?

Corset trim is a decorative braid or ribbon designed to mimic the look of laced corset boning channels. It’s sewn on as surface decoration to bodices, vests, and costume pieces — adding an instant structured, period-accurate, or fantasy aesthetic to any garment.

Can iron-on trims like the Yaya Han filigree trim be used on all fabrics?

Iron-on trims bond best to stable woven fabrics like cotton, canvas, and denim. Avoid using on stretch fabrics, delicate sheers, or heat-sensitive synthetics without testing a small area first. For extra security on costumes, reinforce iron-on trim with a few hand stitches at the edges.
