With over 15 years of experience in custom swimwear production, Unijoy understands that precision in fabric cutting is crucial for producing high-quality bulk swimwear. The choice of cutting way depends on the fabric’s texture and the swimsuit design. For textured fabrics swimwear, like ribbed or crinkled designs, we mainly consider two different cutting methods: lengthwise grain and crosswise grain cutting.
What are lengthwise grain and crosswise grain cutting?
Lengthwise Grain
Lengthwise grain cuttingrefers to cutting parallel to the fabric’s texture, which is a common cutting way for textured swimsuits. Due to the durability and drape of the lengthwise grain, the custom made swimsuits are more flattering to the wearer’s body and visually look slimmer and taller.
Crosswise Grain
Crosswise grain cutting refers to cutting perpendicular to the fabric’s texture. Due to the extensibility of the horizontal texture, the customized swimsuits provide greater elasticity and comfort. And it’s perfect for areas requiring flexibility, such as necklines, shoulder straps, etc.
Characteristics of lengthwise grain and crosswise grain cutting
Characteristics of lengthwise grain cutting:
- Not easy to deform and have a small amount of stretch.
- More popular in the swimsuit market with the structured designs and slimming effects.
- Efficient fabric use, and reduces waste and costs.
Characteristics of crosswise grain cutting:
- Good extensibility, elasticity and comfort.
- Different from the original fabric texture, making it more unique.
