Fold Over Elastic for Bralette Making
Soft, flexible, and comfortable against the skin, fold over elastic is a clean and practical way to finish bralette edges, bands, and straps without bulky binding or extra finishing steps.
Fold over elastic is a favorite for bralette sewing because it wraps raw edges, adds stretch where needed, and creates a smooth, polished finish that feels comfortable during wear.
Designed for direct skin contact, making it a comfortable option for intimate apparel.
Folds neatly over raw fabric edges for a more professional look without separate trim or binding.
Adds gentle stretch and structure to areas like cups, bands, and straps.
Simple to sew with a zig-zag or stretch stitch and works well for both first projects and production sewing.
Different areas of a bralette benefit from different widths of fold over elastic. Choosing the right size can help improve comfort, shaping, and overall support.
