20 years ago I bought a huge industrial spool of 1/4" cotton twill tape. (I
STILL have tons of it!) I use that and it works well, but the ends do fray.

I shoulda mentioned the advantages of the cotton twill tape.
It's thin because it's flat, y'know...a tape. But it's strong because it's
woven.
It can be dyed any color on the stove in a sauce pan.
In many cases, it's period (though linen tape is the real thing.)
Besides, it's useful for other things like drawstrings and a stabilizer on
stretching seams.
And of course it's cheap!
