Stretch lace is a material that combines lace with an openwork pattern and elastic yarn such as polyurethane. Lace made from cotton, polyurethane, and nylon is common, and it is suitable for lingerie, sportswear, and dresses that require a close fit.
When choosing it, check whether it stretches in the width direction or both vertically and horizontally, and match it to the placement of parts and movement. Because polyurethane has the property of stretching greatly and returning to its original shape, it is suited to specifications that make use of stretch. Cotton's absorbency and feel against the skin, as well as nylon's lightness and strength, are also factors to consider depending on the application.
