Choose from a selection of stretch velvet fabric, liquid lame, sequin fabric, nylon / spandex & nylon / spandex blends and more. These fabrics are suitable for ice skating apparel, figure skating dresses, swimwear and dancewear.

Stretch velvet is a knit velvet with four-way stretch and is typically 90% polyester and 10% spandex. Stretch velvet may be machine washed.

Liquid lame is a supple fabric of metallic and polyester. Be sure to start with a new needle before sewing. Also, metallic fabric is very sensitive to heat and moisture.

Sequin fabric is available in a variety of colors and styles with a sheer or black backing. The more expensive sequin fabric is sewn while the less expensive is glued. Steam and high heat can discolor and melt sequins.

Shimmer stretch knit is a nylon / spandex blend. Slinky fabric is an acetate / spandex blend. Both have horizontal and vertical stretch.

Nylon / spandex blend fabric provides excellent recovery and flexibility which work well for skating dresses and dancewear.
