Suggested fabrics: The level of support will be determined by your fabric choices. Look for at least 10% spandex, and 30-50% stretch. A high level of spandex provides good recovery, but too much stretchiness will be less supportive. Using powernet as the lining fabric and/or adding foam cups can also improve support.

Self: Athletic knits, supplex, swim nylon/spandex, milliskin, scuba. Also powernet for back.

Lining: Fabrics listed above, stretch mesh, cotton/spandex, or powernet for larger cup sizes.
