I can't abide anything tight around my midriff due to GI issues so trialing something that isn't comfortable at the outset isn't going to happen. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q-content-in-woven-fabric-and-unwanted-stretch#post-2003349 Sat, 16 Feb 2019 20:47:59 +0000 Glory 2003349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m with you on this pet peeve. So many jeans suffer this predicament and the worst is there seems to be no way to determine in advance which ones will do this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q-content-in-woven-fabric-and-unwanted-stretch#post-2003346 Sat, 16 Feb 2019 20:42:01 +0000 JAileen 2003346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I first read your post title I thought you were complainng about “stench”!!! :)</p> <p>Is it feasible to buy a smaller size that stretches to the right size? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q-content-in-woven-fabric-and-unwanted-stretch#post-2003344 Sat, 16 Feb 2019 20:37:08 +0000 lisaflex 2003344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i couldnt agree more!! hate it. perfect fit at 10am and by 2pm falling off. i read labels carefully now for that reason - none of that stretchy garbage for this gal! im chubby to begin with, so, sagging and bagging is not my friend! its maddening </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q-content-in-woven-fabric-and-unwanted-stretch#post-2003140 Fri, 15 Feb 2019 22:13:35 +0000 Carla 2003140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Angie. Yup. A little stretch is good, but sometimes the change is just bizarre. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q-content-in-woven-fabric-and-unwanted-stretch#post-2003069 Fri, 15 Feb 2019 18:43:17 +0000 Angie 2003069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's tricky, <b>RunCarla.</b> Many of&nbsp;<b></b>my&nbsp;current&nbsp;pants and jeans&nbsp;stretch out ever so slightly after a day of wear. But stop growing after that. It's not noticeable. Some don't stretch out at all.</p> <p>I passed on ALL pants/jeans that stretch to another size by the end of the day. It was ridiculous.&nbsp;</p> <p>I can't boil it down to a specific fabric composition at this point - although I tried! It's all in the quality of the fabric and how stable the fibres are.&nbsp;</p> <p><b></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q-content-in-woven-fabric-and-unwanted-stretch#post-2003061 Fri, 15 Feb 2019 18:11:19 +0000 Carla 2003061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pet peeve (or worse - I DETEST) when a pair of pants fit perfectly at point of purchase, but 'grow' over the course of the day! They bag, sag, and I find myself constantly hitching them up at the waist. I can only wear them once, and then have to wash them in order to shrink them to fit.</p> <p>Jeans in:<br /> 100% cotton<br /> cotton/spandex<br /> cotton/spandex/polyester<br /> cotton/spandex/viscose/elastane (1%) </p> <p>Stretchy pants in:<br /> Viscose/nylon/elastane4%</p> <p>...have all been GOOD though the knees in the stretchy pants bag a little by day 3-4. I have passed on pants and jeans that 'grew' and now don't recall the fabric mix. Viscose and polyester don't seem to be the culprit. I'm wondering is elastane (in high percentages) or modal is the problem. </p> <p>Any ideas what causes a garment/fabric to 'grow' with body heat? And what I should avoid in order to circumvent this happening? </p>
