COMFORT You might think that comfort is a given in active wear, but looking good as well as feeling good in your plus size workout gear is really a matter of design, construction and materials. The active wear you will find on the www.AlwaysForMe.com website is top quality and made especially for the plus size woman. That’s why it lasts longer and is more figure flattering than a pair of sweats you may be tempted to pick up at the local mass merchandiser. Let’s look at materials first: The two most dominant fabrics in plus size workout gear are Lycra Spandex and Cotton Lycra. Some of the top manufacturers in the active wear field have even come up with their own unique and patented fabric blends such as Always For Me Sport who uses a fabric that is both UVA/UVB protected and chlorine resistant. Lycra Spandex is a synthetic (or manmade) fiber known for its elasticity. Lycra, a similar fabric manufactured by DuPont, has become a generic term to describe any type of Spandex. Some of the features of Lycra Spandex include the fact that it: can be stretched up to 500% and still recover its shape, is lightweight, supple, resistant to body oils and perspiration, is free from static or pilling, and extremely comfortable. Cotton Lycra is a blended fabric that combines the stretchability and hold of Lycra with the comfort and breathability of lightweight, yet durable, cotton. Construction is equally as important as the fabric the garment is made of. Plus size construction must be designed to contour and shape while at the same time offering coverage, support, flexibility and comfortable fit for the woman sized 16W-26W. “At AlwaysForMe.com we take the construction of any garment we sell very seriously. The better known plus size manufacturers that we carry understand the specific needs of the plus size body and construct their pieces accordingly. It is our job to road test each product to insure that our customers are going to be happy and confident in the active wear they purchase from our site”, Reports Always For Me Inc. founder, Susan K Barone. |  | |||||||
