coutil


Coutil is a super tight, herringbone twill weave made especially for corsets. Twill weaves stretch. Alternating the direction of the weave results in the herringbone pattern, and the stretch is cancelled out.


I'm a fan of the 100% cotton version imported from Germany and I buy it from Farthingales in Los Angeles.
