At J&S Creations Clothing, understanding fabrics for your perfect outfit is what we do best. We know that choosing the right fabric is essential—not just for how it looks, but for how it feels in our warm South African weather. Our fabrics are all stretchy and versatile, making them perfect for women’s dresses, tops, lightweight cardigans, and even comfortable pants. Here’s a simple guide to help you understand the unique qualities of each fabric we use.
Korean Bon-Bon (200–220g)
- What is it? A premium-quality, smooth, and stretchy synthetic fabric. It’s lightweight yet durable, with a lovely drape that works beautifully for many styles.
- Why you’ll love it: It feels silky and soft while giving a polished look. While synthetic, it’s designed to be breathable and comfortable in most weather.
- Best for: Everyday outfits, lightweight cardigans, or pants that need to keep their shape and look elegant.
Viscose Spandex (or Viscose Lycra)
- What is it? A natural-feel fabric blended with stretch for comfort. It’s soft, breathable, and slightly lighter than Bon-Bon, with a smooth finish that feels luxurious.
- Why you’ll love it: It’s breathable and flows beautifully, making it perfect for warm days while still giving you great coverage.
- Best for: Relaxed dresses, tops, cardigans, or stylish yet comfy pants.
Printed ITY and FDY Fabrics
- What is it? ITY (Interlock Twist Yarn) has a silky texture, while FDY (Fully Drawn Yarn) offers a slightly softer and matte look. Both are lightweight and stretchy, with vibrant prints that won’t fade.
- Why you’ll love it: They’re perfect for adding a pop of personality while staying cool and comfy.
- Best for: Statement dresses, tops, or playful lightweight cardigans.
DTY and DTY Brush
- What is it? DTY (Drawn Textured Yarn) fabrics are soft and have a brushed feel, giving them a cosy touch.
- Why you’ll love it: It’s warm and comforting, great for layering or cooler days, but it’s less ideal for the peak of summer.
- Best for: Comfortable loungewear, pants, or cosy cardigans for breezy evenings.
Printed Viscose Spandex and Bon-Bon
- What is it? Your favourite fabrics with fun, vibrant prints. Printed fabrics bring personality to your wardrobe while keeping the same stretch and comfort.
- Why you’ll love it: Perfect for when you want to mix comfort with bold style.
- Best for: Casual outings, lightweight cardigans, or fun and stylish pants.
What’s Best for South Africa’s Heat?
For hot days, Viscose Spandex is a top choice for its natural, breathable feel. Korean Bon-Bon, though synthetic, is lightweight and has a smooth, polished look that works well in most weather. For vibrant, airy styles, Printed ITY or FDY are excellent picks.
