• Lycra: Lycra is extremely comfortable-this is important for an individual with performance in mind. To aid in the comfort of Lycra products, one must always bear in mind that this versatile material can be mixed with other natural or synthetic materials to your liking. Lycra is great for making swim wear, as well as sportswear and general work out clothing. The fact that is absorbs moisture also makes it a wonderful choice for many summer clothing items.
• Dupion silk: Dupioni is a type of silk fabric that is perfect for making formal wear or feminine pieces such as blouses and skirts. It is similar to shantung, but thicker (making it more durable) and less regular.
• Moleskin: Moleskin is a heavy cotton fabric, that is woven and then sheared in order to create a short, soft pile on one side. The word is also used for clothing made from this fabric, as well as adhesive pads stuck to the skin to prevent blisters. Moleskin is very durable and warm. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moleskin)
