I have a couple pairs of skinny woven pants with stretch that are great because they're comfortable to move around in and look wonderful. Plus, there's a huge difference between jeans with 1-5% spandex in them and pants with elastic waistbands. Pretty much anything with 5% spandex isn't THAT forgiving. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-manikins-for-designers-and-on-spandex-in-clothing#post-485988 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 19:00:42 +0000 CocoLion 485988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting articles, thanks Patty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-manikins-for-designers-and-on-spandex-in-clothing#post-485979 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 18:31:03 +0000 Patty 485979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://www.npr.org/2011/12/11/143004761/from-body-scan-to-body-form-sizing-a-clothing-line" rel="nofollow">http://www.npr.org/2011/12/11/.....thing-line</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.npr.org/2011/12/11/143003539/spandex-has-stretched-with-u-s-waistlines" rel="nofollow">http://www.npr.org/2011/12/11/.....waistlines</a> </p>
