Choosing the right swimwear fabric isnβt just about stretch! Itβs also about performance, durability, and how it looks on the body ππ
Hereβs what actually matters when selecting fabric for swimwear:
β’ 4-way stretch for movement and fit
β’ Nylon spandex for softness, durability, and water performance
β’ 180β250 GSM for the right balance of support and opacity
β’ Strong recovery so it holds shape after wear
β’ Opacity under stretch (no sheerness)
β’ Finish depending on design! Matte for luxury, shine for statement
Swimwear fabrics are engineered differently from regular stretch fabrics so choosing the wrong one can lead to transparency, poor fit, or breakdown in chlorine/saltwater.
At Blue Moon Fabrics, we specialize in high-quality stretch fabrics used by designers, brands, and performance wear creators.
