Designer's Choice Natural Premium Swimwear Elastic (1/4" x 3y)

The Designer's Choice Natural Premium Swimwear Elastic (1/4” x 3y) is a high-quality elastic specifically made to endure the rigors of swimwear and activewear. This elastic is 1/4 inch wide, which is a great width for thinner casings and edges like leg openings, armholes of swimsuits, bikini straps, or gathered swimwear ruching. Its neutral light color won't show through or alter the appearance of light-colored fabrics. Premium swimwear elastic is formulated to be chlorine and saltwater resistant, so it won't break down or lose its stretch after exposure to pool chemicals or ocean water. It also has excellent recovery – meaning it stretches out when you need it to, but snaps back to shape reliably, ensuring your swimwear stays snug and supportive. This type of elastic is usually a bit sturdier and more plush than regular elastic, often with a cotton or polyester wrapping that feels comfortable against the skin and prevents excessive rolling or twisting. With 3 yards in this package, you have enough elastic for several swimwear projects (like multiple bikini bottoms or a one-piece suit and some extras). Whether you're sewing a new bathing suit or replacing worn-out elastic in a favorite swimsuit, this swimwear elastic will provide the durability, stretch, and longevity needed for garments that get wet and get lots of movement.
