1. Why customise your swimwear?

In a world where fashion is constantly evolving, standing out is essential. What if your swimwear brand told a unique story, your story?

Creating a customised swimsuit is much more than just an aesthetic choice. Whether you are a woman or a man, there is nothing more unique than being able to create a swimsuit that reflects your personality, both in terms of design and fit. For those who want to think outside the box, opt for a personalised bikini or an original swim brief, tailored to your tastes and figure. It's a golden opportunity to assert your brand identity, attract customers looking for exclusivity and impose your style on a competitive market.

Imagine: a perfectly fitted cut, a pattern that reflects your personality, colours that capture the essence of summer... A swimsuit like no other. With customisation, you can transform a simple piece of swimwear into a true signature piece.

By choosing customisation, you offer your brand:

  • Strong differentiation: your designs become unique and recognisable.
  • An impactful visual identity: your brand's graphic universe is expressed down to the smallest detail.
  • Unlimited creativity: from minimalist to bold, anything is possible.

And the good news? At Tissus Print, we give you the keys to bring your ideas to life, with high-quality fabrics and ultra-precise printing. It's up to you!

2. Choosing the fabric: Customised Lycra, the perfect partner for your designs

A swimsuit is much more than just a piece of clothing: it's a second skin that needs to be comfortable, durable and attractive. The secret to a successful design? Choosing the right fabric. This stretchy, comfortable fabric is perfect for creating swimwear to suit different styles (please note that Lycra is not suitable for classic men's swim shorts). Customisable Lycra fabric is also ideal for creating personalised products such as accessories to match your swimwear.

At Tissus Print, we have selected customised Lycra for you, the ideal material to bring your designs to life. Why? Because it ticks all the boxes:

  • Elastic and comfortable: it fits perfectly to the body for optimal support.
  • Chlorine and saltwater resistant: for swimsuits that last season after season.
  • Quick-drying: an essential feature for sunny days.
  • High-definition printing: your designs and colours stand out with vibrant intensity.

And that's not all! Our water-based OEKO-TEX inks guarantee skin-friendly and environmentally friendly printing. With Tissus Print, you choose quality, eco-responsibility and textile expertise.

4. Tips for successful sewing

Your custom Lycra fabric is in your hands... all you have to do is turn it into a unique, perfectly fitting swimsuit! Here are our pro tips for seamless sewing.

1. Cut precisely

If you followed our advice and printed your pattern directly onto the fabric, cutting is a breeze. Just follow the lines and cut neatly with sharp scissors or a rotary cutter for a clean finish.

2. Choose the right sewing equipment

Lycra is a stretchy fabric, so you will need:

  • A special jersey or stretch needle to avoid damaging the fabric.
  • High-quality polyester thread that is water-resistant and UV-resistant.
  • A zigzag stitch or overlocker for flexible, strong seams that follow the body's movements.

3. Test before assembling

Before sewing permanently, test on a scrap piece of fabric to adjust the thread tension and stitch length. This avoids unpleasant surprises and guarantees a professional finish.
