Flexible narrow strips of featherboning or stiff nylon strip, used to support edges or seams of close-fitting garments to prevent slipping (e.g. in bodices, strapless dresses)

To expand the definiton of boning, here is a direct quote from my book The Basics Of Corset Building – A Handbook for beginners by Linda Sparks:
Bones
