🧵 The elastic trim
This elastic trim with gold and silver stripes is a decorative border designed for those seeking a luminous and functional detail. The alternating stripe pattern in lurex thread creates an elegant metallic effect, perfect for embellishing sportswear, fashion accessories, and creative projects. Its 4 cm width makes it ideal for side bands, elastic waistbands, and visible borders.
Sold by the linear meter, this elastic border adapts perfectly to stretch fabrics like jersey, lycra, and knitwear. Its elasticity ensures comfort and hold even on garments that require movement, such as tracksuits, gym pants, and fitness apparel. If you purchase multiple meters, you will receive a single, continuous piece.
🧬 Composition: elastic polyester and lurex
The 100% elastic polyester base ensures strength, elasticity, and long-lasting durability. Polyester is a synthetic fiber that maintains its shape even after numerous washes, does not deform, and dries quickly. Its integrated elasticity allows the trim to follow body movements without creating tension or breakage, making it perfect for sportswear and casual clothing.
The gold and silver lurex thread woven into the fabric creates the luminous metallic effect that characterizes this border. Lurex is a synthetic yarn coated in aluminum that reflects light, providing brilliance without weighing down the fabric. This detail makes the trim suitable for evening wear, stage costumes, and fashion accessories that require a touch of glamour.
📦 Format and sales by the meter
The 4 cm width is the standard measurement for side bands on tracksuits, elastic waistbands for skirts and trousers, and decorative borders on bags and accessories. With one meter of trim, you can create an elastic waistband for a skirt, edge a shoulder bag, or decorate the sleeves of a sweatshirt.
For larger projects, such as full tracksuits or sports jackets with side bands, calculate about 2-3 meters per garment. When purchasing multiple quantities, you will always receive a single continuous cut, without interruptions. We recommend purchasing all the necessary meterage at once to ensure color and batch consistency.
🧶 How to apply the elastic trim
This border is easily applied both by machine and by hand. For machine sewing, use a zigzag stitch or an elastic stitch to preserve the elasticity of the material. Avoid overly tight straight stitches that could break the thread when the trim is stretched. Use a universal or jersey needle, size 80 or 90.
For visible applications, such as side bands on trousers or tracksuits, fix the trim with pins every 5-10 cm before sewing. If you are edging a bag or a rigid accessory, you can also glue it with fabric glue before sewing for greater stability. The lurex is not damaged by the moderate heat of an iron (max 110°C).
✨ Why choose this trim
Compared to rigid cotton or non-elastic polyester trims, this elastic border adapts to body movements without creating tension or tears. It is the ideal solution when working with stretch fabrics or when the garment requires elasticity, such as sportswear, swimwear, leggings, and yoga pants. Rigid trims, in these cases, would break or restrict movement.
The gold and silver lurex stripe pattern adds a precious detail without being excessive. It is perfect for those who want to customize sportswear with a touch of glamour, or for artisans making bags and fashion accessories. The quality of the polyester ensures that the border maintains its color and shape even after numerous washes, unlike cheaper trims that lose their shine or fray.
🎨 What you can create
This elastic trim is versatile and lends itself to multiple creative uses. The most common application is as a side band for tracksuits, gym pants, and leggings. You can also use it to create decorative elastic waistbands for skirts and trousers, edge shoulder bags, decorate personalized sneakers, or finish fashion accessories like headbands and textile bracelets.
👩🎨 Suitable for
This trim is suitable for both beginners and experienced tailors. Application is simple and requires no special techniques: just use a zigzag stitch by machine or a hand-sewn elastic stitch. Even beginners in sewing can achieve professional results by following basic instructions.
It is particularly appreciated by those who make personalized sportswear, artisans creating bags and fashion accessories, and hobbyists who love to renovate existing garments with decorative details. Even those working in the dance, theater, or cosplay sectors use it for stage costumes that require elasticity and a luminous touch.
🧼 Maintenance and care
- WashingMachine washable at 30°C, delicate cycle
- BleachingDo not bleach, do not use harsh chemicals

- DryingLay flat to dry, do not tumble dry
- IroningIron at low temperature (max 110°C), no direct steam on lurex

📌 Important note
The shade of the gold and silver stripes may vary slightly between different production batches. For projects requiring multiple meters, we recommend purchasing the entire quantity needed at once to ensure color uniformity. The elasticity of the trim may slightly decrease after the first few washes: this is normal and does not affect its functionality. Avoid ironing directly on the lurex to preserve its metallic shine.
