Amazon Drygoods sells 3/8" plastic coated steel for hoops. Much better than the stuff in buckram/cloth, because it is much easier to get out/put in for washing. And if you do as I have and just wash in the tub with boning in, the glue dissolves and the steel is loose.Plus it rusts. That doesn't happen with plastic coated steel. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Julie Sent: Tuesday, February 02, 2010 12:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [h-cost] questions
Is there a difference between a farthingale and hoops? I need hoops/something under my skirts. 1. I'm told that the bridal hoops sold are made of synthetic material and so will be miserable at a warm fair. Is this so? Or are there hoops available made of cotton or linen? 2. If I have to make my own hoops, where do you recommend I buy the hoop material? 3. Who do you like for steel boning for corsets & bodices?
