Ruffled Pleated Bikini Fabric
Light green fabric featuring a multi-layered ruffle design, creating a light, sweet, and three-dimensional layered look, perfect for youthful swimwear styles. This fabric is known in the swimwear industry as ruffled pleated fabric, often used for body contouring (e.g., bust enhancement or tummy concealment). Its tiny textural gaps provide excellent breathability, preventing it from clinging to the skin when wet and ensuring a comfortable feel. It weighs 220g. In the realm of swimwear fabrics, this is considered a regular-to-lightweight knit, ensuring that even with multi-layered or large-area ruffles, it won't feel overly heavy or drag in the water, maintaining a light and comfortable sensation. Polyester perfectly sets these highly elastic, permanent ruffles, ensuring they won't easily deform even after multiple washes. Despite a 5% spandex content, thanks to its special 3D pleated knit structure, the fabric exhibits exceptional physical stretch elasticity, allowing it to stretch up to 2 times its original size. When subjected to external stretching, the ruffles expand, offering generous stretch space; upon release of the external force, they quickly retract, demonstrating excellent fabric memory and rebound elasticity. The 95% polyester composition provides this fabric with excellent chlorine resistance, seawater corrosion resistance, and superior sunfastness. Additionally, it boasts excellent quick-drying properties, allowing it to rapidly shed water after exiting the water.
