Grosgrain 25mm - Denim Blue - cotton

This traditional millinery petersham is woven in France on authentic wooden shuttle looms, ensuring a superior structural integrity and fiber flexibility. With a 100% cotton composition and a 25mm width, it is specifically engineered for high-end millinery and bespoke tailoring requiring a matte, stable finish. This professional-grade ribbon allows for precise manipulation without compromising the fiber during the construction process.

Professional Usage Advice

This ribbon is specifically designed to be "iron-curved" or "blocked" using a steam iron to follow the contours of crown bases, headbands, or brim edges. Due to its pure cotton structure, it is imperative to thoroughly steam-shrink (decatize) the ribbon before cutting or mounting to stabilize the natural fiber contraction. Its flexibility allows for the creation of intricate millinery bows (flat bows, French bows) with a crisp fall and durable hold.

• Protection: The use of a pressing cloth is recommended during steam shaping to avoid scorching or glazing the cotton.
