What is Polyester Spandex?

‘We hand-picked this durable, lustrous fabric and love it not only because the print is so beautiful…

but because it is so soft & luxurious – making this shirt extremely comfortable! These characteristics and the fact that it is crease resistant makes it ideal for travelling.’

Poly Spandex is a luxurious and versatile textile known for its elasticity, durability and comfort. It is hypoallergenic and incredibly soft, making it comfortable to wear against the skin. Polyester does not wrinkle and does not form creases, and it retains its shape well. Another important factor to consider is the durability of Polyester fabric. Polyester Spandes is a tight knit fabric that is resistant to wear and tear, making it a long-lasting choice for various applications.

 

How to care for my Polyester Spandex garment?

‘Machine wash on a gentle cycle using cold water and a mild detergent specifically designed for delicate fabrics. If your Polyester Spandex fabric has delicate embellishments or is particularly fragile, it’s best to hand wash it. We recommend you strictly follow the washing temperature as indicated on the wash care label inside the product.  We recommend shaking the wrinkles out, reshaping whilst damp and hanging it out to dry away from direct sunlight or tumble dry on low.’

 

Does Polyester Spandex shrink & bleed colour?

‘Yes, Polyester Spandex does shrink & bleed if not handled correctly. It tends to shrink and bleed more in warmer water, so always opt for cold water when washing your Polyester Spandex garments. Cold water helps to keep the dye intact and minimizes bleeding onto other fabrics.If you follow the specific garment’s wash care instruction, you should not have any problems.’

 

Why are Polyester Spandex clothes more expensive?

‘Although synthetic Polyester Spandex fibres mimic the look and feel of Silk, it is more affordable and more widely available than its natural counterpart. However, the quality of the Polyester Spandex fabric also influences its pricing. Higher quality Polyester Spandex fabric is typically made with finer fibers, resulting in a smoother and more durable fabric. These factors increase the production cost, making high-quality Polyester Spandex fabric more expensive than lower-quality alternatives.’
