130GSM Polyester Spandex Butterfly V Mesh 4 Way Stretch
This 130GSM polyester spandex butterfly V mesh features a distinctive V‑shaped, wing‑like opening pattern that combines artistic flair with high‑performance stretch, engineered specifically for sportswear that needs breathability, flexibility, and a unique aesthetic. The butterfly V mesh design – with small, uniform V‑form openings – creates an airy, lightweight structure (130 grams per square meter) that allows maximum airflow while maintaining a soft, comfortable hand. The 12% spandex content delivers true 4‑way stretch (over 150% elongation in both directions) with strong recovery (>86%), so the fabric moves freely during yoga, dance, or gym workouts and returns to shape. The 88% polyester base ensures rapid moisture wicking (sweat dries in about 19 minutes), colorfastness, and easy care. For dance leotards, festival tops, sports bras, and swimwear cover‑ups, this butterfly V mesh offers the perfect balance of style, stretch, and breathability.

Unique butterfly V aesthetic – Distinctive V‑shaped openings create a fresh, modern look that differentiates your activewear from standard meshes.
4‑way stretch (over 150% elongation) – Moves with every stretch, kick, and pose. No restriction, no binding.
130GSM lightweight – Almost weightless. Ideal for summer layers, dance costumes, and festival wear.
Breathable (300‑360 CFM) – Air flows freely through the V‑shaped openings, preventing overheating.
Quick drying (19 minutes from soaked) – Sweat evaporates rapidly. Perfect for swimwear cover‑ups and hot‑weather training.
Soft hand and comfortable – Fine polyester/spandex yarns feel smooth against the skin, with no rough edges.
Easy care – Machine wash cold, hang dry. Resists shrinking, fading, and pilling.
Primary applications for 130GSM butterfly V mesh:
Dance leotards, bodysuits, and unitards

Swimwear cover‑ups (quick dry, stylish)
Yoga tops and leggings (panel inserts)
Costume and performance wear
Lingerie and intimate apparel accents
Q1: Is the butterfly V pattern printed or knitted?
The butterfly V pattern is knitted directly into the fabric structure using engineered yarn placement. It is not printed, so it will never crack, peel, or fade. The V‑shaped openings are formed during the knitting process, creating a true mesh pattern.
Q2: Is 130GSM see‑through?
Yes, this fabric is intentionally sheer/transparent. This is by design for layered looks, overlays, and costume applications. For opacity, we recommend using it over a solid lining or choosing a darker color (which still remains semi‑transparent). For opaque use, see our 200+ GSM double knits.
Q3: Does the butterfly V mesh snag easily?
The fabric has a snag resistance rating of Grade 3 (ASTM D3939), which is acceptable for decorative and performance mesh. Normal wear – contact with dance floors, yoga mats, or gym benches – will not cause significant snags. Avoid sharp jewelry or velcro directly against the fabric.
Q4: Is a recycled polyester version available for this butterfly V mesh?
Yes. We offer a GRS‑certified recycled polyester version of this exact 130GSM butterfly V mesh. The recycled yarn is sourced from post‑consumer PET bottles. The mechanical properties – tear strength (>13N), stretch (>150%), air permeability (300‑360 CFM) – are all within 5% of the virgin version. The butterfly V pattern, soft hand, and colorfastness are identical. Minimum order for recycled is 800 meters. Please request a recycled swatch and a copy of the GRS certificate for verification.
Q5: What is the typical lead time for this fabric?
For stock colors, lead time is 25‑30 days after order confirmation. For custom butterfly V colors (e.g., changing the base color or pattern contrast), add 10‑12 days for lab dip development and approval. Bulk production then takes 25‑30 days. Expedited service may be available for orders ≥2000 meters – please inquire.
Q6: How do I care for garments made from this butterfly V mesh?
Machine wash cold (30°C) gentle cycle with like colors. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not use fabric softener; it can coat the fibers and reduce breathability. Avoid ironing directly on the mesh. Following these steps, the fabric will retain its butterfly V pattern and stretch for over 50 washes.
Q7: Can I get custom colors for my brand?
Yes. For exact Pantone matching, the minimum order is 500 meters. Lab dip lead time is 10‑12 days. Pre‑production samples are available for approval.
