Dash

Dash-one of the latest mesh innovations from Elizabeth Whelan Design-was inspired by the way in which the color appears and then disappears, creating a colored "dash" across the fabric surface. Dash combines a variety of elements to be as strong, lightweight and responsive as possible. With a distinct pattern and small scale, Dash carries color brilliantly and densely for a beautiful result.

Content: 87% Polyester, 11% Nylon, 2% Acrylic

Pinstripe

Pinstripe is a lightweight mesh, that still manages to provide the strength and support of a much heavier mesh, by using two different monofilament stretch yarns to provide firmness and excellent recovery of the fabric. Only the pinstripe yarns take the dye, and the monofilament yarns are grey instead of black, giving a more neutral background to the pattern and allowing light to pass through the fabric.
