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.
