I'd like to use the new Jalie Julia bralette and panties to make swimwear and need a very sturdy or chlorine resistant fold over elastic. I have a collection of regular FOE from various places and it all tends to fade and gets that lived in look rather quickly when used on underwear. On swimwear I'd like it to look good for a couple seasons and not wear out. Where would I find something like this? I've seen it on higher end athletic RTW.

A lint trap is basically a graveyard for the fabric you are losing from your clothes.

the description of this elastic, states no fade, maybe check and see if it's suitable for swim foldover elastic

My grandmother taught me to sew when I was 10, and I've been sewing ever since.
