Frequently asked questions

What's the best fabric for swimwear?


Look for a four-way stretch spandex or Lycra blend, often 80/20 or 82/18 nylon-spandex. It needs to hold shape when wet, resist chlorine and UV fading, and stretch enough to move with the body without going sheer.

Why does swimwear fabric need four-way stretch?


Swimwear has to move with the body in every direction, not just side to side, so four-way stretch keeps the fit snug and supportive through swimming, diving, and general movement without losing shape.

Does swimwear fabric go sheer when wet?


It can if the fabric is too lightweight or the color is very pale, since water reduces opacity. A denser knit or a darker, more saturated color holds its coverage better once wet.

How do I know if a fabric is truly chlorine resistant?


Look for a high-CLO spandex content or a specific chlorine-resistant finish, since standard spandex blends break down faster with regular pool exposure and lose stretch and color over time.

Why is swimwear fabric usually lined?


A second layer of fabric, often a lightweight tricot or microfiber, adds opacity and support so the outer fabric doesn't go sheer or lose shape, especially in lighter colors or thinner knits.

What weight of fabric works best for swimwear?


A mid to heavier weight generally performs best, since it holds opacity and shape without feeling stiff. Very lightweight fabrics tend to go sheer and stretch out faster with regular wear.

Can I sew swimwear fabric on a regular sewing machine?


Yes, but a walking foot or a stretch/ballpoint needle helps a lot, since standard presser feet can cause puckering and standard needles can skip stitches or snag the fibers on a high-stretch knit.
