Recommended Fabrics
Lena is designed for light- to medium-weight knit fabrics with excellent stretch and recovery.
Because of the thick overlapping V-neckline, it’s especially important to choose a fabric with a “bouncy” feel — meaning it stretches well and returns to shape without becoming stretched out. This ensures the neckline lays clean, structured, and flattering.
Recommended fabrics include:
• Cotton Lycra
• Rayon Spandex
• Rib Knit (with good recovery)
• Lightweight French Terry (with spandex)
Fabrics to avoid: very thin, low-recovery knits or fabrics that feel overly drapey without structure, as they may cause the neckline to lose its shape over time.
For best results, choose a knit with at least 20% stretch and strong recovery.
