Why does 100% cotton stretch? What kind of fabric should I search for to buy this?
Looking for Slim Fit Linen Blended Fabric Pants with Stretch for Warm Weather
Which material blend (for pants) do you think is the most comfortable?
How much spandex would you say? Is a small percentage (less than 5%) enough to offset the lack of shape from 100% cotton? Should I look for an even higher percentage if what I want is stretch? What percentage of polyester would you say is too high, to the point where it's going to cause a lot of heat-insulation? Sorry for so many questions!
Viscose and rayon are wonderful fibers for summer, but watch out for shrinkage.
I wasn't aware that viscose shrinks. Is it as bad as rayon? I've religiously avoided rayon because of the shrinkage, but I did buy a pair of joggers made with 40% rayon recently and they're extremely comfortable, although washing them is a pain. Shrinkage in length is a big deal to me, since I fall awkwardly in the middle of the average-height and tall spectrum, to the point where I usually have to buy pants that are either a bit too long or a bit too short. What do you think of the other pair with viscose in it? (The 67% Cotton, 17% Viscose, 14% Polyester, 2% Elastane blend)

I'm looking for fabric to make baby onesies. Most of the baby clothing are made from 100% cotton. However, I notice that even though they are 100% cotton, they have stretch. I thought cotton didn't have any stretch???
I was originally looking for fabrics that were cotton blends (i.e., cotton + spandex), however I now want to find fabric that is 100% cotton since they seem to have stretch anyways?
What kind of fabric is this that is 100% cotton with stretch and not having any spandex/elastane in them? Are they stretchy b/c of the way they are woven (i.e., they are a knit?)
What search terms should I be looking for? 100% cotton interlock?
Total fabric newbie here. Any help appreciated!
