Shiny Lycra Fabric in Lilac

Lycra Fabric (Shiny) Lilac

This lilac Lycra catches the light beautifully, with a smooth satin-like sheen that shifts from soft lavender to a deeper violet depending on how the fabric falls. You can see the natural sheen playing across every fold in the photo, which gives a good idea of how this fabric will move and catch light once it's made up into a garment. It has that glossy, second-skin look that dancewear and performance pieces need, without feeling stiff or plasticky to the touch.

What kind of fabric is this?

This is a shiny Lycra fabric made from 80% polyamide and 20% Lycra, part of our Lycra Fabric Shiny range. The polyamide gives the fabric its glossy finish and durability, while the Lycra content brings four-way stretch and excellent recovery, so the fabric snaps back into shape after every movement. At 210 gram/m2 it has enough body to hold its shape on the body without feeling heavy, and the 145 cm width gives you plenty of room to work with on pattern layout. It's a fabric that's built to move, stretch and shine, session after session.

What can you make with this fabric?

Thanks to its stretch and shine, this lilac Lycra suits a wide range of fitted and performance garments. Some ideas to get you started:

• Leotards and dancewear for ballet, jazz or contemporary
• Gymnastics and figure skating costumes
• Swimwear and bikini bottoms
• Cheerleading uniforms
• Activewear such as leggings and bodysuits
• Theatrical and stage costumes
• Fitted tops and bodysuits for everyday wear
• Accessories like headbands and wristbands to match a costume
