DALI fabrics
Stretch Blend Fabric Manufacturer
Develop stretch-blend fabrics with DALI's fabric and garment teams, linking material extension and recovery to the fit you need. Composition, knit structure and finishing are reviewed together for body fabrics, panels or linings. Share the intended garment and a reference swatch to discuss the blend and sampling requirements.
Product development
Define the construction of stretch blend fabric
Identify every proposed fiber and percentage, knitted structure, weight and usable width. Define the relaxed and extended measurement conditions and distinguish the main fabric from panels, linings or trims that need a different level of stretch.
- Fiber percentages and blend composition
- Required stretch axes and recovery
- Construction, weight and width
For polyester-spandex fabric and other stretch blends, compare both relaxed and extended dimensions. Agree the stretch direction, recovery method and dimensional-change limits before treating two fabrics with the same fiber percentages as interchangeable.
Discuss stretch blend fabricDeveloping stretch blend fabric with DALI
Make the measurement method part of the stretch requirement.
Agree direction, extension, recovery and review after the specified care procedure alongside the fiber blend. DALI can connect fabric and garment teams so the selected material is evaluated against the intended fit rather than approved as a stretch swatch in isolation.
Fabric development and finishing
DALI's China network connects fabric manufacturing, dyeing and finishing with garment production. Buyers can discuss a bulk fabric program or coordinate a fabric development with the garment it will become.
Fabric manufacturing in China
Fabric specifications and material records
Named material supplier and processing site; composition, construction, weight, usable width and color approval; relevant certification scope and transaction records where required.
Audits and material documentation →Sample and project review
Sample review and approval
Evaluate extension, recovery and dimensional change against agreed methods and tolerances. A higher elastane percentage does not automatically establish the right fit or performance; approve the swatch together with the intended garment or material specification.
Review the proposed production brief
For stretch blend fabric, DALI reviews fiber percentages and blend composition; required stretch axes and recovery; construction, weight and width. State the requested material quantity and units, usable width, color allocation and the intended receiving production team.
Sampling and bulk order requirements →Product and supplier review
Match a material claim to the actual fabric
DALI's fabric and dyeing operations connect material development with the garment's intended use. Composition, construction, weight, usable width and shade identify the fabric to be sampled and supplied. Organic or recycled-content documentation is matched to that material and process rather than inferred from the fiber name.
Frequently asked
Buyer questions
01What does the required stretch direction add to the brief?
It identifies where extension and recovery are needed in the intended garment. Record the fiber blend, construction and measurement conditions; elastane percentage by itself does not define the appropriate fit or material behavior.
Product development and supply
Discuss development of stretch blend fabric.
Discuss the intended garment, material reference and estimated bulk requirement. DALI reviews composition, construction, weight, width, shade and finishing for separate fabric supply or garment development.
