Usage: You will most often use the elastic band to wear garments or under your breasts to keep the garment in place, such as trousers, dresses, jackets, etc. It is also suitable for skirts. It is firm in tension.
We have tried: We washed the elastic at the temperature specified by the supplier. After washing, 1 m of elastic shrank by 2%. During the next test, we steamed the elastic with an iron and after ironing it shrank 8% on 1 m. That is why it is important to take account of shrinkage before cutting and sewing the elastic.
