What is babyrib corduroy stretch fabric

Babyrib is a corduroy variant with very fine ribs - in this case 21 wales - which creates a refined rib pattern compared to heavier corduroy types. The addition of elastane means the fabric stretches widthwise, making it easier and more comfortable to sew close-fitting designs. The twill weave gives the fabric its distinctive direction and soft sheen, while the smooth finish contributes to comfort against the skin. This corduroy breathes well, making it suitable for year-round wear. If you're looking for more stretch corduroy options, the Stretch Corduroy Fabrics category is a good starting point.
