At J&S Creations, we use a variety of high-quality stretch fabrics to create beautiful, custom-made clothing that fits perfectly. While our plain colours are available in Bon-Bon and Viscose Lycra, our printed options include Bon-Bon, ITY, FDY, and DTY. If you’re wondering what the difference is and which fabric to choose for your top or dress, this guide will help make your decision easier!
1. Bon-Bon
- Feel and Look: Bon-Bon fabric is soft, lightweight, and smooth with a slight sheen, giving it a polished and luxurious appearance.
- Stretch and Fit: It offers excellent stretch and recovery, making it ideal for fitted dresses, tops, and leggings.
- Best For: If you’re looking for a sleek, slimming look or something lightweight and breathable, Bon-Bon is a great choice.
2. ITY (Interlock Twist Yarn)
- Feel and Look: ITY fabric has a smooth, silky texture with a slight shine, giving it an elegant and drapey appearance.
- Stretch and Fit: Known for its excellent drape and stretch, it hugs the body beautifully without clinging too much.
- Best For: Ideal for dresses, flowy tops, and skirts that require a soft drape. It’s perfect for creating a sophisticated and polished look.
3. FDY (Fully Drawn Yarn)
- Feel and Look: FDY fabric has a firmer feel compared to ITY or Bon-Bon. It’s durable, with a slightly matte finish and a bit less stretch.
- Stretch and Fit: While still stretchy, FDY is slightly less fluid, making it more structured and supportive for certain designs.
- Best For: Great for dresses or tops where you want a bit more structure, like peplum tops or outfits that need a sharper silhouette.
4. DTY (Drawn Textured Yarn)
- Feel and Look: DTY fabric has a soft, brushed texture, giving it a cosy and slightly fuzzy feel. It’s a matte fabric, making it more casual than ITY or Bon-Bon.
- Stretch and Fit: DTY is stretchy and comfortable, offering great coverage without being see-through.
- Best For: Perfect for casual tops, maxi dresses, and relaxed-fit garments. If you’re looking for a soft, cosy fabric, DTY is your go-to!
How to Choose the Right Fabric for Your Top or Dress
Here’s a simple guide to help you decide:
- For a Sleek and Fitted Look: Go for Bon-Bon (plain or printed).
- For a Flowy and Elegant Style: Choose ITY for its silky drape.
- For Structured Outfits: Pick FDY to add some firmness and shape.
- For Casual and Cosy Designs: Opt for DTY for its soft, brushed feel.
