Content preview: Swimsuits and Beachwear There are a few options to swimwear fabric, but a common theme is stretch. Swimsuits also need to stand up to sun, chlorine and salt water, so most are made from a blend of synthetic fibers.Modern swimwear is sewn with knit fabrics. Most readily available fabric that's labeled as "swimsuit fabric" is a combination of nylon and spandex: The nylon is lightweight, easy to care for and dries quickly. The spandex gives it stretch and allows for a figure-hugging fit. Most swimwear fabrics are 80 to 90 percent nylon and 10 to 20 percent spandex. This type of knit fabric is woven to create a four-way stretch, which means the fabric will stretch about 60 to 70 percent in either direction. Be sure to check for adequate stretch in your fabric. Plus, if your fabric has a print or pattern, see what happens to the pattern when stretched, so that the print looks good all over your finished swimsuit.
