What Is Mermaid Scales Hologram Lycra Fabric?

Mermaid Scales Hologram lycra is a soft, elastic knit fabric, usually made from 80% polyamide and 20% spandex, finished with a special holographic foil in a fish- or mermaid-scale design. This foil creates three-dimensional colour reflections that resemble shimmering fish skin or a mermaid tail. The fabric is around 150 cm wide and about 210 g/m², making it strong enough for intensive use and still beautifully drapey around the body.
