Common Applications
Activewear & Sports Bras
Its combination of firm stretch and breathability makes it ideal for sports bras, compression leggings, and athletic tops. The Nylon-spandex blend provides muscle support and moisture management during high-intensity workouts, while the open mesh structure promotes airflow to keep the body cool.
Shapewear & Lingerie
Smooth yet powerfully supportive, it is widely used in shapewear bodysuits, control briefs, and lingerie panels. The fabric molds closely to the body, offering a sleek silhouette under clothing without adding bulk, and its elasticity ensures a comfortable, secure fit throughout the day.
Dancewear & Costumes
Its lightweight feel and exceptional stretch make it a favorite for dance leotards, performance costumes, and figure skating underlays. Dancers benefit from unrestricted movement and a second-skin fit, while the durable warp knit construction withstands repeated stretching, washing, and the rigors of stage performance.
Care Instructions
Machine wash cold with like colors. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low or hang to dry. Iron on low heat if necessary.
