Different Waistband Types

 

 

Elastic Waistbands
This type is very common in pyjamas, trousers, pants, and other apparel. Elastic waistbands are breathable and stretchable and allow you to move freely, offering all-around comfort. This waistband is stylish, appealing, and comfortable.

 

Drawstring Waistband
Some waistbands come with a drawstring, with or without elastic. Drawstrings can be loosened or tightened, depending on the perfect fit. It is often used in casual pants and loungewear. For example, this Shyaway full-length pyjama pant comes with an elasticized drawstring waistband for a relaxed fit.

 

Hook or Button Closure
Buttons, zippers, brooches, buckles, clasps, and frog closures are other popular alternatives to the traditional elastic waistband and drawstring.

 

Width
The waistband width can vary based on the purpose and style of the garment. A wider waistband offers more comfort and support, while narrower ones are visible in sleek designs. You must choose the waistband according to your waist size. Your waistband should fit well enough so that you don’t need a belt at all.

 

Rise
The rise of the waistband defines how high it sits on your waist. There are three main types of rise: high-rise, mid-rise, and low-rise. The high-rise sits above the normal waistline. A mid-rise sits between the hips and the natural waistline. But a low-rise sits closer to your hips and below the waistline.

 

Stretch Waistband With Elastic
You can find waistbands with elastic on kids clothing, women nightwear, lingerie or sport wears as they are very comfortable and provide enough room for movement. The elastic is to the edge of the waist.

 

Folded Bound Waistband
Waistbands with folded bound is the easiest waist band that you can make, as you just need to fold one of the band edge over and stitch to give a neat edge. It is made to have a narrow waist.

 

Two-Piece Waistband
A two piece waistband allows for a better fit especially on trousers for women as it is made with more curves.

 

Ribbon Faced Waistband
You can make a faced waistband with ribbon or without. The ribbon will make a decorative finish to the waistline. Faced waistband is made with facing to the waistline. Sew the facing to the inside or outside of skirt, depending on how you want the garment to look. When the facing is inside, the raw edges are not visible and this reduces bulk. Ribbon faced waist band is comfortable to wear, the band is not so tight around the waist.

 

Couture Waistband
Couture waistband is made in a tailored and stylish way to look professional and comfortable.

How to Attach a Waistband
 

Ribbon Waistband
You will need a piece of ribbon slightly longer than the distance around your waist and 5 – 6 cm wide.
Fold the ribbon in half lengthways. You will need to crease it so you could iron it, but pressing it with your finger will probably do the job well enough.
Fold the ribbon in half widthways to find the middle.
Starting opposite the zip and with the middle of the ribbon, put the ribbon over the raw edge at the waist and pin.
Carefully top stitch the ribbon to the skirt. Leave a couple of cm either side of the zip.
Fold the raw edges of the ribbon underneath so that they match up with where the fabric of the skirt joins the zip. Sew in place.

 

Fabric Waistband
Cut a piece of fabric as long as the distance round your waist plus a bit extra, and about 10 cm wide. You might need to join 2 pieces together, that’s fine. If the fabric is quite lightweight or creases very easily, you might want to add some fusible interfacing to make it a bit thicker.
Fold the fabric in half lengthways and press it, either with the iron or with your finger. Open it out, then fold the raw edges into the middle. Press again.
Start opposite the zip and with the middle of the waist band. Pin the edge of the waistband to the wrong side of the fabric so that the raw edges are together and the right side of the waistband is next to the wrong side of the fabric.Sew all the way round, leaving a couple of cm either side of the zip. If you need to finish the raw edges, now is the time to do it!
Fold the waistband over the top of the skirt and fold the edge back under. Pin, then top stitch round the waist again. still leaving a couple of cm at the zip.
Fold the raw edges underneath so that the edge of the waistband is aligned with where the skirt meets the zip.

 

Bias Binding Waistband
To make a waistband using bias binding, you will find it easier and probably more comfortable if you use wide bias binding.
The process is exactly the same as the one above, except that you don’t have to faff about with folding in the raw edges! Just cut it to the right length, then fold the bias binding in half lengthways.

How Elastic Bands Work and How to Take Care of Them so They Last

The Inner Workings of Elastic Bands

The latex or spandex is the stretchable component inside the elastic strips. This component needs to be woven into the other non-stretchable materials inside the strips. It is the weave that makes it possible for the latex to expand and contract while it interacts with the non-stretchable material that is present. Without this special weaving being utilized by the manufacturers of the elastic strips, their ability to stretch out and return would be severely inhibited.

Increasing the Longevity of the Elastic Strips Present in your Garments

Both the latex and spandex in the elastic strips that are used today can last for years, but if they are not properly cared for, they can lose their ability to remain flexible. It all depends on how the person treats the garments when they are worn and washed.
The most damaging thing a person can do to a garment that has elastic strips is to add bleach when washing the item. Bleach is a basic component, which means it has a pH greater than 7. The bleach dries out the latex or spandex inhibiting its ability to bounce back once it has been stretched out. Many people use bleach when washing their clothes, especially white undergarments, but this will damage the latex or spandex that is inside the elastic waistband. Sometimes bleach is necessary for stains, but it should be used sparingly to help extend the life of your elastics.
Another factor that can diminish the lifespan of your elastics is exposing them to heat. It is best to keep your elastics out of they dryer, but even hanging them out in the sun can cause damage. It is best to hang the clothing with the elastic parts towards the ground and away from the direct sunlight. If you must use a dryer, keep it on the low heat setting. The clothing will take longer to dry, but it will help keep the bounce in your elastics.

When it’s Time to Replace the Elastic Bands in your Garments

After so many washes, people start to notice the elastic in their clothing does not bounce back as it once did. The elastic material might even break. This happens when it becomes too dried out, and as of now, there is no known way to revitalize the elastic once it gets to this point. Unless you want to wear the now saggy clothes, it is time to replace the elastic strips. If you do not want to replace the strips, you can throw the item out and buy a new one, but the easiest thing to do is take proper care of your clothing and the elastics inside of them. This way your elastics last longer, and you can keep enjoying your clothes.

Q: What is the best elastic for waistband casing?

A: Braided elastic has parallel ribs that run the length of the elastic. This type of elastic becomes more narrow as it stretches and loses stretch when it is sewn or pierced with needles and pins. For these reasons, braided elastic is ideal for using in casings, such as waistlines, sleeve hems, or necklines.

Q: How is elastic waistband made?

A: Elastic is made from a series of rubber (or stretchable synthetic, such as spandex) cores that are bound or wrapped in polyester, cotton, nylon or a blend of fiber threads. The exterior threads are braided, woven or knit together to create the elastic.

Q: Can I use any type of elastic for a waistband?

A: Not all types of elastic are suitable for waistbands. It is important to choose an elastic that has enough stretch to fit around your waist comfortably, but also enough support to hold the garment in place. Elastic with too much stretch may not provide enough support, while elastic with too little stretch may be too tight and uncomfortable to wear. In general, wide and sturdy elastic is best for waistbands, as it provides the necessary support and durability.

Q: Can I use a different type of fastener instead of elastic for a waistband?

A: Elastic is a common choice for waistbands because it is stretchy and easy to adjust, but it is not the only option. Other types of fasteners that may be used for waistbands include drawstrings, buttons, zippers, and snaps. These types of fasteners may be more suitable for certain types of garments or for people with special needs. However, they may also be more difficult to adjust and may not provide as much support as elastic.
