There is that, and perhaps a color change on the borders.

You could always layer your ribbon--one color in the middle and 2 edge pieces, to make the 1 1/4" width. Sharon C. -----Original Message----- From: h-costume [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lavolta Press Sent: Tuesday, April 30, 2019 10:40 PM To: Historical Costume Subject: [h-cost] Velvet ribbon I spent a happy evening looking at vintage rayon velvet ribbon on Etsy. I was mostly seeing 5/8", 7/8"-1", and 2". And in one case 2 1/2". I was hoping for about 1 1/4" but I guess I will need to be satisfied with 1" for my buckle chokers. I did get some 2" for millinery use. Someone on the list wanted 3" velvet ribbon to bind a blanket. I'm not saying it doesn't exist, and also I was only looking in the vintage Etsy channel. But I didn't see any. For a binding, velvet fabric with the edges turned under should work. I have rebound blankets with satin and I didn't even cut it on the bias, because blankets are all straight edges. Even if you have rounded corners you can work a straight fabric into place there with a little judicious gathering and steaming.
