Iris-effect Lilac elastane

The iridescent lilac foil elastane fabric is a stretch fabric that stands out for its delicate lilac hue and its spectacular shiny finish with pearlescent highlights. Its surface features subtle pink, blue and greenish shimmers that change depending on the angle of the light and movement, creating an iridescent effect that is magical, elegant and full of fantasy.

The composition of this fabric is 80% nylon and 20% elastane (spandex), which offers excellent stretch, softness and a close fit to the body, providing comfort and freedom of movement. Its width of 150 cm and weight of 200 gsm make it an ideal choice for creating form-fitting garments and performance costumes.

The iridescent lilac foil finish adds a special luminosity that enhances the fabric’s violet and pastel hues, particularly under stage and performance lighting. It forms part of a collection of 7 shades with the same shiny finish, perfect for mixing colours and creating original and sophisticated designs.

Ideas for use: rhythmic gymnastics leotards, dancewear, figure skating outfits, stage costumes, fancy dress, party wear, dancewear and accessories.

Sewing tip: use a 75/11 stretch needle and a stretch stitch or overlock stitch to preserve the fabric’s stretch. Sew on the reverse side where possible and avoid direct contact between the iron and the foil finish to protect its iridescent sheen.
