A double knit fabric composed of fine yarns of polyester and spandex, this material offers a smooth hand, full drape, and notable stretch. It’s characterized by its resilient structure and ability to hold its shape well. Apparel applications include dresses, skirts, and structured tops, where its stability and flattering silhouette are advantageous.
The fabric’s inherent properties render it a favorable option for garments requiring both comfort and form. Its thickness contributes to a polished look and reduces the need for lining. The introduction of this type of knit provided designers with a material that bridges the gap between traditional woven and knit textiles, enabling new avenues in garment construction and design possibilities.
