Choose the fabric around the garment.

A yoga tank, a sports bra and a pair of leggings ask different things of a fabric. Start with the piece you want to make, then compare the handfeel, stretch and coverage.

Garment-led fabric selection

Three practical directions for yoga wear.

High-waist yoga leggings in brushed nylon elastane showing the waistband gusset and flatlock seams

High-waist leggings & matching sets

Brushed nylon–elastane

Soft matte stretch for close-fitting leggings where coverage and waistband recovery matter.

Sample focus · Squat opacity · recovery · pilling

Longline yoga sports bra in smooth double knit nylon elastane showing lining underband and seam construction

Sports bras & compression tops

Smooth double-knit nylon–elastane

A denser smooth knit for bras and compression tops, balanced with lining and elastic construction.

Sample focus · Underband recovery · sweat · colorfastness

Fitted yoga tank in fine stretch rib showing neckline armhole and coverstitch construction

Fitted yoga tops & studio layers

Fine rib or compact interlock

Fine rib adds texture; interlock gives a cleaner face. Both need reliable neckline and armhole recovery.

Sample focus · Seam stretch · shape retention · pilling

Approve the actual swatch, color and garment sample before bulk fabric is confirmed.

Tell us what the fabric needs to do.

For yoga leggings

Discuss the rise, leg shape and how much hold you want. Compare opacity in stretched positions and check recovery at the knees and waistband.

For sports bras

Discuss coverage, lining, straps and the intended activity. Fabric alone does not determine support; the construction and fit matter too.

For fitted yoga tops

Choose between a smooth jersey and fine rib, then consider sleeve length, body fit and layering. Check stretch at the armholes and seam comfort.

What to check on the real sample.

Move in it

Check opacity when stretched, waistband comfort and whether knees and elbows recover after wear.

Wash it

Compare the surface, dimensions and color before and after washing. Agree any required testing with the factory.

Check the specification

Confirm composition, weight, usable width and color reference. Similar-looking fabrics can feel and perform differently.

Need recycled material or a particular test report?

Tell us your requirements before choosing a fabric. We can ask the factory what documentation is available for the exact material. A texture image or a general certificate does not establish the content or performance of your order.

Fabric Planning

Choose materials for performance and production

Compare fabric priorities, sample development and responsible sourcing considerations for your private label range.

What would you like to make?

A reference picture, an estimated quantity and your target date are enough to start the conversation.
