Buckram

A heavy, coarse, open plain weave fabric, buckram is usually made of cotton, linen or hemp, and is heavily sized. As an interfacing between the fabric and the lining of clothing, buckram is used to give structure to the garment, and it makes hat shapes and other accessories that require structured forms. Buckram is sometimes made by gluing two cotton fabrics together, then sizing as with the open-weave buckram.

Uses: Millinery, interfacing, bookbinding

A heavily-sized leno weave netting used to give shape to hats. The netting has fairly squared mesh. The stiffness of the fabric comes from sizing with starch or similar; it is flexible when wet, stiff once dry.

Rice net is synonymous.

Use: Hats

Similar to buckram but lighter, it is made in a plain open weave and heavily sized. Particularly in the 19th century, crinoline could be made of horsehair with cotton or linen.
