Polyester Horsehair knitted fabric is a beautiful way to add body to floor-length dresses, skirts, and other garments. It comes in a variety of colors and sizes and can be dry-cleaned or washed for easy care. These braids can also be used as hem decoration on hats. The durable braids are made of 100% polyester and are washable. For added convenience, you can use them to create a custom look for any event or celebration.
Made of polyester or nylon, horsehair braid is a versatile fabric that is a great option for crinoline netting. The braid is woven in a netting shape with a thread on the top edge. This allows you to shape the braid with your fingers. It works especially well for circle skirts and can be used in a variety of ways. A circle skirt can be made using horsehair braid as a hemline. The bottom edge is sewn directly to the hemline's raw edge, and the top edge is then hand-sewn.
To use a horsehair braid as a hem facing, place the narrow side of the braid against the right side of the fabric. Pull the loops of the thread along the braid top to create a neat hem. This will give a neat look to your finished garment. To create a curved hem, pull the thread loops across the top of the braid.
