1/4" Spiral Steel Boning 04.5" - Rubber Tipped

1/4" Spiral Steel Boning - 4.5" is a flexible, durable support option ideal for structured garments that require mobility without sacrificing stability. This short length is perfect for small channels, tight curves, delicate areas, and lightweight support applications such as fashion corsets, bodice tabs, stays, and detailed costume work.

Features

• Made from hardened, galvanized spring steel round wire
• Bends easily on two axes for comfort and shaping
• 4.5" finished length fits short or low-profile bone channels
• Rubber-tipped ends for safe handling and protection during insertion
• 1/4" width fits standard 1/2" bone casing
• Ideal for small areas, curved seams, and places where a rigid bone would restrict movement

Usage and Application

• Excellent for curved seams such as the underbust, hip, and neckline areas
• Useful for adding flexible support to bodices, corsets, historical garments, and costumes
• Rubber-tipped ends help prevent wear on fabric and bone casing
• Lighter weight than standard metal capped spiral steel boning - more economical for bulk shipping
• Suitable for both finished garments and mock-ups

Pro Tip: Spiral steel boning provides flexibility where needed while maintaining garment structure. Because it bends on two axes, it is ideal anywhere movement and shaping are equally important.
