Even if it is a stretchy blend (which it is), you might find that it is too tight for your liking. Or you may find that it is just right. You just have to try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-70-cotton-25-polyester-5-elastane-stretch#post-2123331 Mon, 25 May 2020 23:27:09 +0000 Anonymous 2123331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I first joined YLF, it was said do not buy over 2% elastane. I have stuck to that advice and that of not putting things with any elastane in the dryer. So far that advice has worked although fabric with elastane does tend to stretch on wearing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-70-cotton-25-polyester-5-elastane-stretch#post-2123265 Mon, 25 May 2020 15:35:47 +0000 slim cat 2123265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For my experience "fit perfectly" in jeans could mean the jeans aren't tight enough for the right fit. The fit should be a bit tight - hugging you in all the places ( including waist ). The fabric will stretch from movement and the body heat.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-70-cotton-25-polyester-5-elastane-stretch#post-2123227 Mon, 25 May 2020 12:15:53 +0000 Star (Lise) 2123227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find any more than 2% elastine stretches out.&nbsp; Not sure when there is polyester in the mix too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-70-cotton-25-polyester-5-elastane-stretch#post-2123205 Mon, 25 May 2020 08:34:01 +0000 gmf101 2123205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi everyone,<br /> I just bought a pair of high waisted skinny jeans in my usual size.<br /> They fit perfectly in my legs but they are loose around the waist. I am wondering if I should keep them since they fit in the legs and the waist isn't too baggy. Or go down a size if the denim will stretch out in the legs. They are 70% cotton, 25% polyester, 5% elastane. Is that a stretchy blend? </p>
