Lycra Fabrics

Originally created by DuPont scientists in 1958 as a substitute for rubber in corsets, Lycra Fabric is a synthetic fibre famous for its exceptional elasticity and is commonly utilised in the production of dance wear and sportswear, including cycling pants and ice skating costumes. Lightweight and breathable, Lycra fabrics are quick-drying materials that can be stretched repeatedly and will return to their original size almost perfectly, making them ideal for dance wear costumes.

Our high-quality Lycra fabric collection, consisting of 80% nylon and 20% spandex and 150cm wide, is available in various plain colours and eye-catching patterns. Whether you are creating a stunning collection of dance costumes for a big show or a pair of casual leggings for yourself, you can conveniently purchase Lycra fabric online to satisfy any of your requirements.
