Are you going to make a corset? Then you need ribs!
We recommend steel ribs instead of plastic ribs. With steel, the rib is many times stronger than plastic. These steel ribs can be purchased from us on a roll per meter. You must therefore tailor the ribs yourself. And that is super handy! You are not stuck with the standard sizes of pre-cut ribs.
Please note, do not really cut steel ribs (like this one), because you will not succeed. Also not with a steel or concrete scissors. The most convenient is to nod/break them with a flat nose pliers. Short on the tongs with your hands, do not bend the metal but immediately nod at an angle of 90 degrees. It's just a trick, so first try a little piece. Then you have to process them with a sander so that there are no sharp edges.
In our workshops, both online and in class, we explain exactly how to make a corset with these steel ribs.
The ribs are:
- 11 mm wide
- 1 mm thick
- provided with a white plastic coating
Of course you get the ribs in one piece, so we do not divide them into separate meters!
