Dark Grey Swimsuit Lycra | Textielstad

If you are looking for a high-quality stretch fabric for a sporty sewing project, this dark grey swimsuit lycra is an excellent choice. The fine knitted construction, plain grey colour and lightly lustrous finish give every garment a smart, professional look. Made from 82% nylon and 18% spandex, with a weight of 184 g/m², it combines comfort, stability and flexibility in one reliable dressmaking fabric.

Comfortable, flexible and shape-retaining

This fabric is designed to move with you while keeping its fit, even with frequent wear. Thanks to the bi-stretch quality, it stretches comfortably in all directions without bagging out. For the best sewing results, use a stretch needle and an elastic stitch so the seams can move with the fabric and stay strong under tension.

It is ideal for swimwear such as swimsuits and bikinis, as well as professional sportswear, gymnastics leotards and close-fitting dancewear. You can create sleek, body-hugging garments with an excellent fit.
