Satin Lycra: Stretch Satin for Fitted Styles

|Dynamic Knitfabs

Quick Answer

Satin Lycra adds a little stretch to a lustrous satin face. Here is when to use it and how to specify it.

Satin Lycra fabric

Satin Lycra is a satin-weave fabric with a small percentage of spandex (Lycra) in the yarn. It keeps the smooth, glossy face of satin but gives with the body, so fitted garments are more comfortable and easier to wear.

Why brands choose it

  • Comfort: the stretch lets close-fitting styles move.
  • Fit: it hugs the body without the stiffness of rigid satin.
  • Recovery: good spandex content helps the fabric spring back after wear.

Popular uses

  • Bodycon and slip dresses
  • Fitted tops, co-ords and blouses
  • Occasionwear and partywear

How to specify satin Lycra

  • Composition, for example 95% polyester and 5% Lycra
  • GSM and width
  • Stretch direction: 2-way or 4-way
  • Finish: dyed, digital printed, foil or RFD
