The polyester fabrics used for the swimwear line include a matte, stretch poly-swim; a drapy, no-stretch, white-metallic sheen charmeuse; and a white, stretch poly-lycra with a medium sheen. No two-swim suits will be alike as the garment pieces are strategically placed on the non-repeated printed fabric before each pattern is cut.
Belle Femme, doing business as ESPI Fashion Design, is a company that transforms classic, hang-on-the-wall art to clothing and finished goods for the fashion industry.
First2Print is the industry leader in digital fabric printing. Located in the heart of the design communities in NY and LA, the company supplies digital textile design and printing services to customers worldwide.
The company combines today's most popular textiles along with state-of-the-art, large-format color printers, customized software, and specially formulated inks to print the best possible fabrics. Unlike traditional mills, which have a minimum yardage and long turnaround time frames, First2Print can deliver yardage in just days.
First2Print has a wide range of customers who use the company's fabric print services for prototypes as well as short-run wearable and washable production. Typical applications include printing fabrics for strike-offs, short-run fabric, and textile production, fabric and costume design, novelty print fabrics, interior design, and more.
