Title: Petersham Ribbon
Post by: So Chic on June 09, 2020, 14:49:31 PM

Help, does anyone know of a reliable supplier of petersham ribbon for making waistbands?  I've trawled through the internet but some places don't seem to know the difference between petersham and grosgrain.

If you search for millinery petersham and find a milliner's supplier you should get the real thing.  I can't recommend a particular shop but I do prefer the rayon petersham to the cheaper polyester.

Perhaps try a supplier of tailoring supplies like Kenton Trimmings or Tailor Mouse.

@sleepingwolf & @Ploshkin
Thank you both for the advice and I managed to find a supplier of millinary Petersham on Etsy and I'm told it's on the way to me.
