Where Do You Put Boning In A Bustier?

Boning is an important part of a bustier, as it provides the structure and support necessary to hold up the garment. It can be used in many different ways, depending on the design of the bustier. Generally speaking, boning is placed along seams or edges of a bustier to give it shape and keep its form.

The most common places to put boning are in between seams at strategic points such as around the underbust or waistline area, across cups for added support and lift, along side seam areas where more body curves need to be supported, and also along center front panels which help provide additional shaping from top-to-bottom. Boning can also be inserted into straps for extra stability if needed.

Typically made from steel or plastic (though some modern alternatives exist) boning adds rigidity to a garment that would otherwise lack shape when worn by itself without any other supportive elements like corsetry lacing or elastic bands etcetera. It also helps smooth out wrinkles caused by fabric bunching up due to movement which can occur with larger busts especially during activities such as dancing etcetera. The type of material used will depend on how much control/support you want your garment to have: steel being firmer than plastic options but both should do an adequate job nonetheless.

Boning comes in various sizes ranging from 1/4” wide up until 5/8” wide depending on what you require; thinner pieces will give less rigid support while thicker ones offer maximum stiffness – so choose wisely according to your needs. When inserting boning into garments make sure they are securely sewn down (with either hand stitches or machine stitches) so they don't shift around inside after wearing multiple times over time – this could potentially cause discomfort if not done properly beforehand. Double check all measurements before sewing too ensure accuracy overall.
