01.01.70
Lycra hit the market-place in 1959, and has remained an unstoppable fabric in bra construction ever since! As you probably already comprehend, Lycra is a stretchy, synthetic spandex fiber that is very popular in bra construction for its superior elasticity and increased durability. Before Lycra, bras were typically made out of cotton-based materials; materials that stretched and didn’t assume damage well, had to be replaced frequently because of the stretch, and weren’t the most flattering to our shapes.
Since Lycra, we’ve enjoyed improvements to carefree and flexibility for “the girls,” and longer wear and hole combined with increased durability. In response to requests for Lycra that could coat-rack up to machine washing without fraying or fading, Invista, the company chargeable for Lycra, created “Lycra Black.” Lycra Jet is an elastane fiber whose spun-dyed technology prevents color from fading in the bath remove. It also helps to reduce the uneven “shiny” essence that sometimes happens when dark Lycra is stretched out.
