100D 4 Way Stretch 92% polyester 3%spandex woven fabric for Lady blouse and dress

Product Overview

This 100D four-way stretch woven fabric is designed for flexible apparel, lightweight outdoor garments, dresses, blouses, shirts, dancewear, linings, bags, luggage, bedding, and selected home-textile applications. It combines a lightweight 115 ± 5 GSM construction with multidirectional stretch, custom-color capability, plain dyeing, waterproof performance, and printing options.

Composition must be confirmed before ordering. The primary specification identifies the fabric as 100% polyester, while another section describes 92% polyester + 3% spandex. The second composition totals only 95%, leaving 5% unspecified. Buyers should therefore confirm the complete fiber percentages, yarn composition, stretch construction, and approved technical data sheet before sampling, quotation, or bulk production.

The product information also describes the fabric as soft, comfortable, breathable, durable, wear-resistant, lightweight, and easy to care for. Functional properties listed include waterproofing, antistatic performance, heat insulation, antibacterial treatment, and deodorization. The finishing method, performance level, test standard, and wash durability for each required function should be agreed before production.

Product Specifications

Material, Construction, Appearance, and Hand Feel

The 100D+40D × 100D+40D notation indicates a combined yarn construction in both fabric directions. However, the supplied information does not identify the fiber used in each yarn component or provide the ends-and-picks density. These details should be shown on the final technical data sheet.

Four-way stretch allows the fabric to extend in both lengthwise and crosswise directions, supporting freedom of movement and improved wearing comfort. Because no stretch percentage or recovery result is provided, buyers developing fitted garments, dancewear, or movement-intensive apparel should evaluate stretch, recovery, dimensional stability, and seam performance on an approved sample.

At 115 ± 5 GSM, the fabric is positioned as a lightweight woven material. Its described soft, comfortable, breathable hand can suit garments worn close to the body, while its lightweight character can also help reduce bulk in linings and packable outerwear. Final drape, opacity, surface texture, and next-to-skin comfort should be evaluated in the selected color and finish.

Detailed Applications and Use Cases

Lightweight Outdoor Jackets and Garments

The lightweight construction and four-way stretch can support comfortable movement in hiking jackets, travel outerwear, casual wind-resistant styles, and other flexible outdoor garments. Waterproof performance may add protection in wet conditions, but the fabric description does not provide a hydrostatic-pressure rating, spray-test result, coating or membrane specification, or wash-durability result.

For a finished waterproof garment, buyers should confirm the required fabric test method, seam construction, seam sealing, closures, lining, ventilation, and garment-level performance. Severe-weather or protective applications require separate technical evaluation and should not be approved from the fabric description alone.

Dresses, Blouses, Shirts, and Casual Fashion

The soft, breathable, lightweight character can suit blouses, shirts, casual dresses, and styles requiring comfort with added mobility. Four-way stretch may help fitted panels follow body movement and can reduce restriction in sleeves, shoulders, waists, and shaped silhouettes.

Designers should assess opacity, drape, recovery, seam stability, and whether a lining is required, particularly for pale colors or close-fitting garments. The final fiber composition should also be confirmed because polyester content, elastane content, and mechanical stretch can produce different drape and recovery characteristics.

Dancewear and Movement-Focused Apparel

Multidirectional stretch can support dance garments and performance-inspired fashion where freedom of movement is important. Suitability depends on whether the approved fabric provides the required extension, recovery, opacity, abrasion resistance, and comfort.

A wear trial and cut-and-sew sample are recommended before bulk production. Highly fitted or high-extension designs may require stronger recovery or a different construction, which FabricsTrades can evaluate as part of product development.

Garment Linings

The lightweight weight and smooth, flexible character may suit stretch linings for jackets, dresses, uniforms, and other garments where a rigid lining could restrict the shell. Buyers should match the lining’s stretch direction and recovery to the outer fabric and confirm colorfastness, seam slippage, shrinkage compatibility, and care requirements.

Bags and Luggage

The fabric is listed for bags and luggage. Its flexibility, custom colors, printing capability, and functional finishes can support lightweight pockets, covers, flexible panels, or decorative components. For load-bearing panels, bag bases, straps, and high-abrasion areas, buyers should evaluate reinforcement, backing, lamination, tear strength, seam strength, and abrasion performance.

Bedding, Home Textiles, and Sofa Applications

Bedding, home-textile, and sofa uses are also listed. The lightweight construction may be more suitable for covers, decorative panels, flexible liners, or secondary components than for unsupported high-abrasion upholstery. Furniture and bedding programs should confirm pilling, abrasion, colorfastness, dimensional stability, flammability, coating, backing, and cleaning requirements according to the destination market and end use.

Custom-Printed Products

The fabric’s printing capability supports custom graphics, fashion patterns, branded products, and selected home-textile designs. Before production, confirm the print technology, artwork resolution, repeat size, color standard, stretch compatibility, colorfastness, hand-feel requirements, and whether waterproofing is applied before or after printing.

Design and Manufacturing Considerations

• Approve the exact composition: The conflicting composition information must be resolved in the quotation, technical data sheet, sample, and purchase contract.
• Measure stretch and recovery: Specify the required stretch percentage, recovery, and dimensional-stability standard for fitted or performance garments.
• Define waterproof performance: Confirm whether waterproofing is produced by coating, lamination, membrane, or another finish, together with the required test method and durability.
• Complete sewing trials: Select needle size, thread, seam type, stitch density, and edge finishing after testing the actual bulk-quality sample.
• Evaluate seam protection: Waterproof garment programs may require seam sealing or taped seams because waterproof fabric alone does not make the completed garment waterproof.
• Confirm printing compatibility: Test adhesion, colorfastness, cracking, distortion, and hand feel on the selected stretch construction.
• Validate functional claims: Antistatic, heat-insulating, antibacterial, and deodorizing requirements should be linked to agreed test methods and acceptance criteria.
• Set care instructions from the final specification: Machine or hand washing is described as suitable, but washing temperature, drying, ironing, and chemical-care limitations can vary with the final fiber blend and finish.

Customization, Sampling, and Bulk Ordering

Custom colors are available according to customer requirements. OEM service, logo customization, printing, tailored specifications, and customized packaging may also be evaluated. Feasibility and MOQ can vary according to the color, construction, finishing chemistry, print method, performance target, and packaging design.

• MOQ: 2,000 meters per color.
• Lab dip: Normally 3–5 days.
• Plain-color approval sample: Normally 7–10 days.
• Bulk production: Normally 3–20 days.
• Capacity: More than 3 million meters per month; daily output up to 150,000 meters.

2024–2026 Fabric Regulations & Compliance Update

Waterproof and water-repellent textile programs can involve finishing chemistry subject to market-specific PFAS restrictions. The word “waterproof” does not identify the chemical formulation and should not be treated as proof that the fabric is PFAS-free, certified, or legally compliant.

• EU programs: Buyers supplying consumer apparel, accessories, or other textile articles to the European market may need to review the EU REACH PFHxA Restriction. Confirm the finishing recipe, chemical declarations, relevant SDS/TDS documents, production-lot controls, and any required testing before bulk approval.
• California programs: Buyers placing textile articles on the California market should review the California AB 1817 PFAS Textile Ban. Determine whether the finished product falls within the applicable textile or outdoor-apparel category and confirm required declarations, certificates, and testing.

Requirements vary by destination market, product category, intended use, finishing chemistry, production date, and date of sale. Communicate restricted-substance standards before sampling and quotation. Available supporting documents may depend on the final specification and production batch; buyers can request available test reports, certificates, declarations, technical data sheets, traceability records, or third-party testing support.
