Designer's Choice Natural Premium Swimwear Elastic (3/8" x 1.75y)

The Designer's Choice Natural Premium Swimwear Elastic (3/8” x 1.75y) is a durable, high-performance elastic optimized for use in swimwear and stretch activewear. Measuring 3/8 inch in width, this elastic is slightly wider, offering a bit more support which is perfect for areas like swimsuit waistbands, underbust support in a bikini top, or broader leg openings where you want extra hold. The neutral beige color stays low-profile under light-colored fabrics. This premium elastic is made to withstand exposure to chlorine, saltwater, and sun without degrading quickly – so your handmade swimsuits or athletic wear will remain stretchy and comfortable after many uses in the pool or ocean. It has excellent elasticity and recovery, meaning it stretches easily when you wear the garment but springs back to its original length, maintaining the fit. The elastic is also generally woven or braided in a way that gives a plush feel, ensuring comfort against the skin and preventing it from rolling or folding during movement. With 1.75 yards included, you've got enough elastic to finish one or two garments (depending on their design). It's a crucial component for any swimwear sewing project, ensuring that your finished piece not only fits well but also lasts through seasons of swimming and sun.
