Spiral bones are made of steel, looking as if a fine coil of steel
has been flattened. They are available in two sizes, ¼" (7mm)
and 7/16"(10mm). The ¼" comes either by the metre or in pre-tipped
lengths and the 7/16" is sold only by the metre.Spiral bones
have the most flexibility of all bones, being able to move both
forwards and backwards and side to side. They are the best choice
for a bodice that requires boning but is going to be worn for
dance or other motion activities. They are not a good choice
for front panels of bodices/corsets for women who wear a c-cup
or more, unless you are using the 7/16" size. Spiral bones are
the most flexible and least supportive. Bodices with these can
be dry cleaned but not laundered with water.
*Spiral bones have come from two manufacturers and one has
unfortunately been sending us inaccurate lengths. We are no
longer dealing with them but some of there product is still
in our bins so please accept that some lengths will not be exact.
