This past fall we added 3 new types of spandex: Glitter spandex, Lustre spandex, and Matte spandex. Starting off the new year we are promoting each of these amazing fabrics with a sale – $7.99 for glitter and lustre and $4.99 for matte! Each of these spandex styles offers a distinct look and performance, making them perfect for everything from dancewear and activewear to costumes, swim, and stage apparel.
Glitter Spandex – $7.99
If you’re looking to make a statement, glitter spandex delivers maximum impact. This fabric features a smooth stretch base with a shimmering surface that catches the light beautifully without sacrificing comfort or flexibility. It’s ideal for performance costumes, cheer and dance uniforms, festival wear, and bold fashion pieces where sparkle is a must. Despite its eye-catching finish, glitter spandex remains lightweight, stretchy, and easy to sew.
Lustre Spandex – $7.99
Lustre spandex offers a sleek, polished shine that falls between high gloss and satin. It has a refined, metallic-like finish that looks luxurious while still providing excellent stretch and recovery. This fabric is a favorite for athletic wear, swimwear, figure-hugging garments, and performance outfits that need a clean, modern look with just the right amount of sheen.
Matte Spandex -$4.99
For a more understated, versatile option, matte spandex delivers a smooth, non-shiny finish with all the performance benefits spandex is known for. Soft, breathable, and durable, matte spandex is perfect for everyday activewear, leggings, dance basics, lining pieces, and garments where comfort and stretch take priority over shine. It’s also an excellent choice for mixing with lustre or glitter fabrics for contrast.
Start the Year with Stretch & Style
To kick off the new year, we’re excited to put all three of these spandex styles on sale. Whether you’re designing performance wear, creating custom costumes, or stocking up on essentials for upcoming projects, now is the perfect time to explore these fabrics and save.
Stretch, shine, or keep it classic — whichever spandex you choose, you’ll find quality, performance, and style in every yard. Be sure to shop the sale while supplies last and start your next project with fabric that moves as beautifully as you do.
Mixing matte with lustre or glitter for contrast is such a practical tip, and not something I usually think about when ordering. It makes planning a full outfit a lot easier.
The note about glitter spandex still being lightweight and easy to sew caught my attention, since sparkle fabrics are usually a pain. At $7.99 I might grab some for a dance costume experiment.
That matte spandex at $4.99 feels like the real sleeper deal here, especially for basics and lining. I appreciate you mentioning breathability because that’s usually my main concern for activewear projects.
I’ve used standard spandex before but never tried the glitter version, so hearing it keeps stretch and comfort is reassuring. Sounds perfect for stage wear where movement matters as much as shine.
The focus on performance across all three fabrics is helpful, especially the mention of recovery in the lustre spandex. That’s crucial for anything figure-hugging or used in repeated wear.
Starting the year with a sale on new fabric types is smart, especially with prices under $8. It definitely nudges me to stock up now instead of waiting until my next project deadline.
I appreciate that you included multiple use cases like swim, costumes, and festival wear instead of just fashion. It shows how versatile these fabrics really are beyond just one niche.
I like how you broke down glitter versus lustre versus matte, because I never knew where lustre actually sits between gloss and satin until now. The $7.99 price makes it tempting to finally try it for swimwear.
The description of lustre as a metallic-like finish without going full gloss helped me visualize it better than photos usually do. That seems ideal for sleek athletic pieces.
Good call highlighting that matte works well for everyday leggings and dance basics. Not everything needs to shine, and it’s nice to see a practical option included in the sale.
Honestly surprised to see all three new styles introduced just this past fall and already discounted. It feels like a good opportunity to test each type without spending too much upfront.
