3D Spacer Fabric!

I spent a long time picking what fabrics to use, always with the lingering idea that they weren't futuristic enough. But those fabrics don't exist yet, so what could I use?

After conducting a lot of research I found Heathcoat. They sent me a sample pack which is where I discovered 3D spacer fabric.

Using this fabric, completely elevated my project. The fabric is designed for aerospace. Adding an unusual element to my work. The fabric has such a unique quality to it, something I hadn't seen before!

I think finding this fabric became a huge turning point in my project, without it I don't know what my project would've been or how my garments would've turned out!
