Look a little closer.
Request the stretch direction and test method. Evaluate recovery, opacity when extended and compatibility with the chosen seams and trims.
MATERIAL GUIDE / STRETCH & FLEXIBLE FABRICS
Freedom, shaped into fabric.
For close-fitting or movement-led garments, stretch must be considered together with recovery and support. Compare real samples rather than relying on the word “stretch” in a product name.
Representative textile detail. Actual articles vary in composition and finish.
A DESIGN DIRECTION
Stretch & flexible fabrics
Flexibility · fit development · recovery assessment
Develop the idea.
Develop the pattern using the approved fabric. Review the fit after movement and relaxation before setting the final dimensions.
Protect the final result.
Assess dimensional stability and stretch recovery after the intended care cycle. Heat sensitivity and care limits depend on the confirmed composition.
Put it into words.
Send the article reference, garment type, colour direction, target quantity and destination. Ask for the confirmed technical sheet and assess a sewn sample before committing to bulk material.
