FR-384 – Scuba Print Fabric

Product Description

Scuba Print fabric is a lofty double knit fabric of finely spun polyester fibers that create a super smooth hand, low luster sheen and a full-bodied drape. With 30% stretch across the grain and 10% vertical stretch, this unique knit is perfect for creating bra cups, bralettes, underwear, two-piece swimwear, knit dresses,  knit apparel,  skirts, pants, un-structured jackets and heavier tops. It’s not just for underwear!

Scuba knit is created using a very fine gauge knitting machine and smooth thread. It also has a slightly spongy quality, similar to what you might see in a fabric for wetsuits, but it’s much thinner and more malleable.  It has a lot of body, and drapes well.

Colours Available:

All of the Scuba Print fabrics  are 58-60″ (147-150 cm) wide made from 94% Polyester and 6% spandex blend with stretch in the crosswise direction, from selvedge to selvedge. The fabric has a matte finish, perfect for showing off the glorious prints.

Uses:

The Scuba Print fabric can be used for bra cups for small to medium cups without any lining, and for large cups with a lining such as sheer cup lining behind it. It makes some wonderful and colourful bra-lettes and panty sets. Our customers use this fabric for  tankinis, two-piece suits, bikinis, micro-kinis, mono-kinis and uni-kinis; virtually any type of two piece swimwear you can think of. The reason we do not recommend it for one piece suits that travel through the legs is because there is no stretch in the lengthwise direction, so a suit made from this would not have enough give. However a suit cut in two pieces is absolutely fine! Customers also use it for  lightweight tops, dresses and unstructured jackets.
