- Lycra- This fabric is 150 cm (60") wide and has a 4 way stretch to it. This fabric is ideal for dance wear, sports wear and ice skating costumes as it fits to the body without restricting it. It is a medium weight fabric which is also breathable any dries quickly. We stock some stunning vibrant colours which have a matte shine to them and the great thing about Lycra is that it wont fray when cut either.
