Looking forward to summer, holidays, sunshine, and the beach! It is impossible to imagine this season without a stylish and comfortable swimsuit. But do you really know which fabric to use to make an elegant and durable model? At Verotex, we have selected the best fabrics for swimsuits to help you create unique pieces. Whether you want to sew a swimsuit for men, women, or children, you will find the perfect textile in our collection.

Choosing the right fabric for your swimsuit

The swimsuit is exposed to extreme conditions. It must withstand saltwater, chlorine, sand, and sun. Its fabric must therefore be strong, flexible, and pleasant to wear.

A good fabric allows for:

• A perfect fit on the body.
• Optimal comfort even after several hours of use.
• Resistance to wear and frequent washing.

The choice of fabric also influences the style: sporty, glamorous, classic, or original swimsuit.

Most suitable fabrics for swimsuits

Lycra: flexibility and comfort

Lycra is one of the most used fabrics for swimsuits. It is stretchable and perfectly hugs the body’s shapes. Resistant to chlorine and salt, it provides good support while remaining pleasant to wear.

Polyester: durable and practical

Polyester is a light and long-lasting fabric. It holds colors well and dries quickly. It is an excellent choice for sporty swimsuits or models that need to be sturdy.

Polyamide: softness and stretch

Polyamide is soft to the touch and stretchable. It offers a smooth and elegant finish. This fabric is often combined with elastane to provide maximum comfort.

Recycled fabrics: an ecological choice

More and more designers choose fabrics for swimsuits made from recycled fibers. They combine performance and respect for the environment.

How to recognize a good fabric?

A good fabric must:

• Be stretchable in both directions.
• Resist UV rays to prevent fading.
• Dry quickly for more comfort.
• Maintain good shape even after several uses.

At Verotex, our fabrics meet these criteria to guarantee quality and durability.

Our tips for sewing your swimsuit

• Use a special stretch needle to avoid damaging the fabric.
• Prefer a thin lining for more comfort and support.
• Choose a water-resistant elastic for the edges.
• Test your stitches on a fabric scrap before assembling the swimsuit.
