Recycled PET Tencel Lyocell Fabric for Dresses — Specification, Uses and Sourcing Notes
Recycled PET Tencel Lyocell Fabric for Dresses: Specification, Uses and Sourcing Notes
Recycled PET Tencel Lyocell Fabric is the version buyers specify for dresses when the base material is fixed by performance rather than by price. This entry sets out what the material actually changes, which specification to write into the tech pack, and where the cost sits — the three questions that decide whether the item passes bulk approval.
What it is
Recycled PET gives tencel lyocell fabric its drape and hand feel. In practice that means the fabric behaves differently in cutting, in finishing and in wear: tighter tolerance is needed on the finished dimension. Buyers who specify the material up front avoid the most common failure — an item that looks right on the sample card and behaves differently in bulk.

How to specify it

- Retain a golden sample at the factory and a second one with you.
