Millinery material: ribbons (Petersham and Grossgrain)
Ribbons used to line head fittings are known as petersham ribbon or grosgrain ribbon.
Grosgrain are traditionally stitched into skirts at the waistband. It has
a straight woven edge.
Petersham is used in ladies’ hats & is easily recognised by its scalloped
edges.
Petersham is also used in mens’ hats & has a straight edge & therefore comes
as grosgrain.
Do not use polyester petershams - they have no stretch & melt under an
iron.
Best quality petersham available on the market at present is ’Panda
Petersham’.
