What is Lining Fabric?
Lining fabric is the inside layer of clothing. It’s an important textile that helps garments move and fit properly while also prolonging their life. As the innermost layer, it sits closest to the body.
What Are the Key Advantages of Lining Fabric?
Lining fabric offers many benefits: it adds structure to clothing, prevents wear and tear, and reduces transparency. It’s widely used in swimwear, activewear, costumes, skirts, dresses, and other fashion apparel.
Can Any Fabric Be Used as Lining?
The ideal lining fabric for activewear is soft, lightweight, and features four-way stretch for flexibility.
Which Cloth Lining Materials Are Best?
For activewear and swimwear, synthetic linings such as polyester or nylon blended with spandex are preferred for their superior stretch and moisture-wicking properties. Natural fibers like cotton or silk aren’t suitable for sportswear lining fabrics because they offer less stretch and sweat protection.
