Roll on summer, vacations, sun, and the beach! It's impossible to imagine this season without a trendy and comfortable swimsuit. But do you really know which fabric to use to make an elegant and durable model? At At Verotex , we've selected the best swimwear fabrics to help you create unique pieces. Whether you're looking to sew a men's, women's, or children's swimsuit, you'll find the perfect fabric in our collection.

Choosing the right fabric for your swimsuit

Swimwear is subjected to extreme conditions. It must withstand salt water, chlorine, sand, and sun. Its fabric must therefore be strong, flexible, and comfortable to wear.

A good fabric allows you to obtain:

• 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 jersey.

Most suitable swimwear fabrics

Lycra: flexibility and comfort

Lycra is one of the most widely used fabrics for swimwear. It is stretchy and conforms perfectly to the body's shape. 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 colors well and dries quickly. It's a great option for sports swimsuits or designs that need to be durable.

Polyamide: softness and elasticity

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

Recycled fabrics: an ecological choice

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

How to recognize a good fabric?

A good fabric should:

• Be expandable in both directions.
• UV resistant to prevent fading.
• Dries quickly for added comfort.
• Have good hold 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.
• Choose a thin lining for more comfort and support.
• Choose a water-resistant elastic for the edges.
