Lustre Spandex
What exactly does lustre mean? The official definition is: a gentle sheen or soft glow, especially that of a partly reflective surface. Our lustre spandex does exactly that – provides a soft sheen that reflects a percentage of the light that hits it. Designed for performance and comfort, Lustre Lycra features exceptional 4-way stretch and recovery, allowing garments to move effortlessly with the body while maintaining a flawless, form-fitting silhouette. The subtle shimmer reflects light beautifully, giving your projects a polished, professional appearance on stage, in competition, or on the street.
Ideal for dancewear, swimwear, gymnastics, cheer uniforms, costumes, cosplay, and fashion apparel, this fabric combines durability with style. Its smooth surface is easy to sew and comfortable against the skin, making it a favorite for both designers and makers.

Matte Spandex Fabric
Have you seen those viral videos where things are floating in air or performers jump impossibly high with hang times that seem like super man was real? If you go behind the scenes you’ll find another actor in a green-screen matte spandex head to toe catsuit. These are used to make the actor ‘disappear’ in post production.
Our green-screen matte spandex fabric works perfectly for that use case and many more. (Plus come back in 2-3 months and we’ll have custom-fit sewing patterns for making your own catsuits.). Matte spandex truly shines behind the camera. Its flat, glare-free surface makes it an excellent choice for green-screen catsuits and chroma key applications, helping ensure consistent color capture and clean digital removal in post-production. Whether used for visual effects, motion capture, invisibility suits, or film and video production, matte spandex provides the stretch, opacity, and uniform color needed for professional results.
This premium fabric features a non-reflective, smooth matte finish combined with exceptional 4-way stretch, making it a go-to choice for both creative fashion and technical applications.
Designed to move effortlessly with the body, matte spandex offers excellent recovery and a clean, professional look. Its soft hand and durable construction make it ideal for dancewear, activewear, costumes, cosplay, swimwear, and form-fitting apparel where comfort and control are essential.
Why Designers Choose MJTrends Matte Spandex:
- ? Non-reflective matte finish — ideal for camera and stage
- ? 4-way stretch with excellent shape retention
- ? Ideal for green-screen and chroma key bodysuits
- ? Great for costumes, dancewear, activewear, and cosplay
- ? Smooth, durable, and comfortable against the skin
- ? Sold by the yard for total creative flexibility
I’m drawn to the color range you mentioned for the glitter foil, especially Tropical Green and Blue Jewel. Those kinds of tones with a metallic sparkle would be amazing for festival outfits.
The mention of future custom-fit catsuit patterns for the matte fabric is intriguing. That could save a lot of trial and error for anyone working on motion capture or cosplay builds.
That matte spandex section about green-screen catsuits was fascinating. I’ve seen those viral “floating” effects and never thought about how critical a non-reflective fabric is for clean chroma key work.
Calling out the smooth, comfortable hand on the lustre fabric is helpful. Shine is great, but if it’s not comfortable against the skin, it’s a dealbreaker for long performances.
The durability and shape retention you mention for the matte spandex sound ideal for activewear. A lot of matte fabrics lose their form over time, so that’s reassuring.
It’s nice that all three types still emphasize the same 4-way stretch and recovery. That consistency makes it easier to switch between finishes depending on the project without relearning how the fabric behaves.
I like that you pointed out both stage and everyday wear for the glitter foil option. It’s easy to think of it as costume-only, but it could definitely work in statement fashion pieces too.
Seeing that you included videos for each fabric is a smart move. Stretch and drape are hard to judge from photos, especially with 4-way stretch materials like these.
The explanation of lustre actually helped a lot, because I’ve always been unsure how it differs from metallic finishes. That soft reflective sheen sounds ideal for competition dancewear that needs polish without going over the top.
The moisture-managing and quick-drying note on the glitter spandex is a big plus. A lot of sparkly fabrics look great but feel awful during movement, so this sounds more practical.
What stands out is how each finish serves a different purpose: bold sparkle, subtle sheen, or no reflection at all. It’s a pretty complete lineup for both fashion and technical uses.
I didn’t realize you had added glitter, lustre, and matte all at once, so this sale feels like perfect timing. The embedded glitter beads in the foil spandex sound like they’d really pop under stage lights.
I appreciate that the lustre spandex is described as easy to sew. Some shiny fabrics can be frustrating on a machine, so that detail makes it more approachable for smaller makers.
