Foldover elastic (FOE) has a line scored lengthwise down the middle, so it folds over neatly and easily. It is typically used in making inner wear - to enclose raw edges such as at the waist and leg opening of underwear, or the upper edges of bralettes. Other types of lingerie elastic are listed separately in the shop. To preserve the life of anything with elastic, avoid washing or drying at high temperatures.
Unless otherwise stated below, all FOE on this page is thin (less than 1mm thick) and matte on both sides with a slightly plush-textured finish. For plain FOE, the finished width is usually about half the unfolded width. Please check the details in the list below:
