Horsehair braid is a type of woven crinoline netting that can be used as a decorative trim, or an internal stiffener. Its unusual properties - it can stretch and contact to become narrower or wider - make it popular in theater and dance costumes, for millinery and hair accessories, and for historical re-enactors. Horsehair braid can be used to stiffen hems, puff out puff sleeves, make belts, bows, and headpieces. There’s a gathering thread on one side, which can be pulled to shrink the braid, creating more shape possibilities. Historically, it was made of horse hair, but is now made of 100% Polyester. There are two weights of horsehair braid: hard and soft. This listing is for Soft which has a less stiff hold than hard horsehair.
