We know polyester is a fabric that has certain properties that make it a great choice for clothing. It has a bit of a stigma in the fashion world because it's a man-made fabric rather than a natural choice like silk, cotton, or wool. But even if it's not natural, it has to have some positive qualities, right?

　　Polyester is an umbrella term for any fabric or textile made using polyester yarn or fibers. The name is short for a synthetic man-made polymer commonly known as polyethylene terephthalate (PET). It is made from a mixture of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid. It sounds very scientific, but basically, polyester is a type of plastic.

　　Knitted fabric is a fabric made as a knitted product. Knitting is the use of special needles to engineer yarn into an elastic material. This is why knitted fabrics are made so much faster than other types of fabrics. Knitting is not a difficult task, which is why it can be done quickly. The practice of knitting is not limited to the use of hands and needles, and advances in technology today provide knitting machines with finer results than those knitted by hand.

　　Polyester Knitted Fabric, this fabric also has very good elasticity and recovery. It's lighter than a knitted sweater, so gravity isn't a big factor. The fabric also has a great drape, making it more contoured to the body. The neckline is more fitted, as are the cuffs and hem straps.
