Flat steel boned corset2/22/2024 ![]() ![]() ![]() Something to consider when designing corsets. Spiral steel will bend sideways and can also twist, which means it’s the only type you can use for boning corsets diagonally across curves (for example across the waist and over the curve of the hip). Spiral steels can also bend in directions the solid steels can’t. The Difference between Sprung And Spiral Steel Bonesīoth steel types are springy enough for everyday corset training but spiral steel bones will give more movement as they bend a lot easier than their solid counterparts which like to spring back into their original position, hence the name ‘sprung steel bones’. ![]() A corset training corset needs to be robust and allow for this movement as it is worn for 8 hours plus a day. This is great as the body needs to bend and stretch during everyday activities. You may already know about the perils of using plastic over steel bones to make a corset but incase you don’t here’s a quick explanation – Unlike plastic that weakens if it bends too much, steels can bend a great deal further without developing weak points and kinks. FYI for other articles on making corsets, feel free to browse my How To Make Corsets page.
