Swimwear Fabrics

Bring on summer, holidays, sunshine and the beach! It’s impossible to imagine the season without a trendy and comfortable swimsuit. But do you really know which fabric to use to make an elegant and durable design? At Verotex, we have selected the best swimsuit fabrics to help you create unique pieces. Whether you want to sew a swimsuit for men, women or children, you’ll find the perfect textile in our collection.

Choosing the right swimsuit fabric

Swimsuits are exposed to extreme conditions. They must withstand salt water, chlorine, sand and sunlight. Their fabric must therefore be strong, flexible and comfortable to wear.

A good fabric provides:

• 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.

The most suitable swimsuit fabrics

Lycra: flexibility and comfort

Lycra is one of the most widely used fabrics for swimsuits. It is stretchy and perfectly follows the contours of the body. Resistant to chlorine and salt, it provides good support while remaining comfortable to wear.

Polyester: durable and practical

Polyester is a lightweight and durable fabric. It retains its color well and dries quickly. It is an excellent option for sporty swimsuits or designs that need to be hard-wearing.

Polyamide: softness and stretch

Polyamide is soft to the touch and stretchy. It provides a smooth, elegant finish. This fabric is often combined with elastane to offer maximum comfort.

Recycled fabrics: an eco-friendly choice

More and more designers are opting for swimsuit fabrics made from recycled fibers. They combine performance with respect for the environment.

How can you recognize a good fabric?

A good fabric should:

• Stretch in both directions.
• Be UV-resistant to prevent fading.
• Dry quickly for greater comfort.
• Hold its shape well, even after repeated use.

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.
• Choose a thin lining for greater comfort and support.
• Choose a water-resistant elastic for the edges.
• Test your stitches on a scrap of fabric before assembling the swimsuit.
