Ban-Lon Tricot Lining Fabric

Ban-Lon Tricot Lining Fabric by the Metre

Ban-Lon tricot lining fabric is a smooth, lightweight jersey lining that moves easily with the outer fabric it's paired with. Because it contains stretch, it's a practical choice for lining garments made from jersey, scuba or other elastic materials. You'll find this fabric by the metre in our range, ready for both small alteration jobs and full production runs. It's a lining fabric that many sewers reach for when a stiffer woven lining would fight against the stretch of the garment itself.

What makes Ban-Lon tricot different from other linings

Unlike a woven lining, Ban-Lon tricot has give in it. That stretch means it doesn't restrict movement once sewn into a jacket, dress or skirt. The knit structure lies flat against the body and doesn't bunch up or pull at the seams the way a non-stretch lining sometimes does. It sits smoothly on the inside of a garment, which is exactly why it's used so often as an inner layer rather than as a visible fabric.

Suitable applications

This lining works well wherever a garment needs to keep its shape and stretch at the same time. Typical uses include:

• Lining for stretch dresses, skirts and trousers
• Lining for jackets and blazers made from stretch fabrics
• Inner layer for garments that need to move with the body
• Lightweight lining for costumes and dancewear

Because the fabric fits smoothly against the skin, it's also a sensible choice for anyone making fitted garments where a bulky lining would show through.

Ordering by the metre

You order Ban-Lon tricot lining fabric by the metre, so you only buy what you actually need, whether that's a small piece for a repair or several metres for a full production run. Alongside this stretch lining fabric, you can also look at charmeuse stretch lining fabric if you need a lining with a bit more sheen for a different type of project. Both sit within our wider stretch lining fabric range, so it's worth comparing the two before deciding which suits your outer fabric best.
