Coutil, Powernet & Inset Fabrics
Beautiful costumes start with the right foundation.
This collection includes the specialty fabrics professional costume shops rely on to build bodices, basques, tutu panties, and structural layers that hold their shape on stage.
Coutil
A tightly woven cotton strength fabric traditionally used in corsetry and ballet bodices. Its dense weave provides exceptional durability and stability, helping bodices maintain their shape and resist stretching during performances.
Powernet
A strong yet flexible mesh commonly used for tutu panties, stretch bodice linings, and areas where support and elasticity are both needed.
Inset & Skin-Tone Fabrics
Essential materials for creating discreet costume insets, modesty panels, and illusion areas that blend beautifully with a dancer’s skin tone.
Together, these fabrics form the structural backbone of professional ballet costumes—supporting outer fabrics while keeping dancers comfortable and secure through rehearsals and performances.
