Description
We have a number of different stretch fabrics available for you to order. Please bare in mind that some fabrics can only be used for certain styles:
- Scuba – heavier stretch fabric either used alone or as lining under an outer fabric. Helps to smooth and sculpt the body, acting as a form of shapewear. As a slightly stiffer fabric it keeps more structure and volume so cannot be used for certain styles that require soft draping or gathers. Usually opaque but can be slightly sheer in lighter colours such as White or Ivory. Check individual fabric as thickness varies. 95% Polyester, 5% Elastane.
- Soft Touch – delicate stretch fabric that can be used alone, double lined in itself or predominately used as an outer fabric lined in Scuba. A soft lightweight fabric with a matt finish, ideal for draping & gathers. Can be slightly sheer alone especially in lighter colours. 95% Polyester, 5% Elastane.
- Silk Touch – delicate stretch fabric that can be used alone, double lined in itself or predominately used as an outer fabric lined in Scuba. A soft lightweight fabric with a silky sheen finish, ideal for draping & gathers. Can be slightly sheer alone especially in lighter colours. 95% Polyester, 5% Elastane.
- High Shine – slightly heavier stretch fabric that can be used alone, doubled lined in itself or lined in Scuba. A sculpting stretch fabric with a slightly heavier density, keeps more structure and volume than a Soft Touch but lighter than a Scuba. With a super shiny finish it imitates Satin without the stiffness and allows for figure hugging pieces. 95% Polyester, 5% Elastane.
- Slinky – super stretch knit fabric that can be used alone or lined in Scuba. A heavier density fabric with a very subtle sheen to the finish. Lightly textured with a super 4 way stretch, ideal for draping. 95% Polyester, 5% Elastane.
- Jersey – soft stretch jersey fabric with a matt opaque finish, usually used alone for more casual pieces. 75% Viscose, 20% Cotton, 5% Elastane.
- Limited Edition – range of stretch sparkle and metallic fabrics, usually lined in Scuba, opaque with a textured sparkle finish but depends on individual fabric.
