We go to great lengths to ensure the High Tech Microfibre fabrics we use are high quality and suitable for their end use.
We use Microfibre because of its softness, durability, absorption and wicking abilities. All of these qualities are essential for use in dance/exercise clothing. Microfibre wicks moisture away from the body leaving you feeling warm and dry whether you are in a dance class, the gym or out on a run.

Our garments do not get baggy.
