Plain lycra is the gold standard fabric for close-fitting garments that require maximum mobility and shape retention. Formulated with elastane fibres that expand in all four directions, plain lycra stretches fluidly with body movement and snaps back without sagging. Whether you are sewing supportive athletic leggings, vibrant gymnastics leotards, bespoke swimwear, or theatrical stage outfits, our plain lycra collection offers durable, high-performance materials in both soft matt and light-reflecting high-shine surfaces.

What is the difference between Lycra, Spandex, and Elastane?
Lycra, Spandex, and Elastane refer to the exact same synthetic fibre family. Elastane is the official term used across the UK and Europe, Spandex is the common term in North America, and Lycra is the registered brand name for premium-grade elastane. All three offer exceptional four-way stretch and shape recovery.
