It's petersham. It looks like grosgrain ribbon, but the edges have
little bumps instead of being perfectly smooth. I get mine here:

Subject: [h-cost] Sourcing Help
Hopefully I can take advantage of the wide body of knowledge out
there to
help me source this item.
I'm looking for the type of belting that was used inside garments
to cinch
the garment tight to the body. The examples that I have from vintage
clothing look to be a heavy woven silk with raised ridges - very
much like
gros grain ribbon, but heavier. Quite often the name of the
company was
either stamped or woven into the band. Like ribbon it's non-ravel
on the
lengthwise edges
I've looked through various tailoring sites - and have found heavy
loomed
cottons - but nothing close to what I'm looking for.
I'd even be happy cutting and sewing my own if I could find yardage
approximating what I'm looking for. I've thought of the
possibility of
sewing two layers of gros grain together - but would rather have
something
already made up to work with.
Thanks for any help you can give.
