What is Power Mesh/Power Net And What To Make?
Read Time: 1m
What is "power mesh"? Good question.
Most sewist who make their own performance or athletic wear would've come across the term power mesh/power net at one time or another. It is commonly found in:
- Lingerie
- Body contouring apparel
- Swimwear
- Active wear
- Performance wear
Power mesh has a "tulle like" appearance and is soft, has 4 way stretch, great drape and excellent shape retention. It is lightweight, breathable and well known for it's compression abilities and durability.
Power mesh is commonly found in solid colours however, if you look around hard enough you might be able to find prints as well.
