Create your custom print leggings

All Over Printed Leggings

Wear your style, your way with our made pair of leggings. Perfect for updating your wardrobe or creating your own line of designer leggings. Since we print the material, you can be sure they are all over printed, with the ink penetrating deep into the seams, as seen on our preview screen in our leggings pattern.

NB: We print a discreet barcode on internal hem of the left leg, invisible from outside, containing the unique reference, proving they are truly original and one of a kind. Also note that when stretched or printed with a lightly colored design, the Slinky Matte Lyrca fabric can be see-through.

Your label, your brand

If you’re looking to build a active wear brand, then our printed labels are perfect for you. Add a custom printed label to the elastic hem of your Leggings, and add your brand name, logo, or images. We print the label directly onto the lycra, in full color, at no extra cost. Give your leggings a professional touch, with Contrado’s printed Labels.

Sizing For Hemming And Shrinkage

We have a full Cut & Sew service here at Contrado, and are able to hem your fabric prints for a small additional charge. We create a small one- or two-fold hem that typically uses 0.2" to 0.75" (5-20mm) of material, depending on the thickness of the fabric. So, for example, if you want a finished piece of fabric that measures 39.37" x 39.37", you will need to order a size of 39.96" x 39.96" to allow for the hem (on top of that please also allow for shrinkage of min 2%). The thicker the fabric, the bigger the hem will be. You can choose to have your prints hemmed with either Black or White thread. On our silk and other light woven fabrics, one hemmed edge will be straight (vertically down the roll) and the other will be slightly rippled. The hemming material allowances are as follows and you need to make your print bigger to accommodate the hem:

• Light Fabrics (0.59oz-2.95oz): For silks and other light fabrics, we use 0.24" - 0.32" / 6mm-8mm in the hem (2 fold), so overall width/height will be minus 0.48"-0.56""/ 12-16mm
• Medium Fabrics (2.98oz-5.90oz): For medium-weight fabrics that fray, we use 0.5 - 0.75" / 15-20mm in the hem (2 fold) so overall width/height will be minus 1.4" - 1.6" / 35-40mm
• Stiff/Heavy/No-fray fabrics: we use 0.5 - 0.75" / 15-20mm in the hem (1 fold) so overall width/height will be minus 1.5" / 35-40mm

All of these measurements are approximate and can vary. Including with shrinkage, it can mean a fairly significant difference to ordered dimensions, so please plan your print accordingly. Depending on how open the weave is, our fabric can shrink anywhere from 2% to 8% with the average being 2.5%.

How Would you Like the Edge?

• As it comes. We cut around your image, leaving a simply scissor cut, perhaps uneven white fabric border. 
• Hem with thread. We can hem your fabric with a choice of black or white thread. Please allow 1-2 days additional production time. See below for information on how hemming affects the size of your print. We offer an overlock hem, as well as a folded hem (one or two fold depending on the fabric) however not all fabrics are suited to both hem types. If you can see both options, it means both are suitable, and you will be able to choose whichever you prefer. 
• Cut on the line. We will cut neatly on the edge of your design. This means that if you have a border around your design we will cut around that border, if your design takes the whole space of the fabric, then we will neatly cut around the edge of that image. Please be aware, when we cut along the line, we have to cut against the grain of the fabric. This is the standard procedure for fabric cutting. This means that with some fabrics, for example, Georgette and Mulmul, which have a slight wave in them, some fraying will occur. This is unavoidable, as the cut follows the grain of the textile. 

All of our fabrics are cut manually by hand, with the utmost care and attention. If your fabric has a slightly uneven look on the edges or a touch of fraying, this does not indicate a flaw in the textile. It is not always possible to achieve a perfectly straight cut with certain fabrics, so please do bare this in mind when it comes to your design. If you have any queries or would like to know about our cutting methods in more detail, please get in touch and we will be more than happy to discuss them with you.

Please note: As we make everything by hand, all sizes may vary slightly.

Which Lycra fabric option would be best for creating a line of sports leggings?

You can choose between Slinky Matte Lycra or Lycra Soft Sheen to make your custom leggings online. If you are planning on creating a range of designer leggings purely for sports, then we recommend Slinky Matte Lycra. These custom legging fabrics allow you to optimize movements during exercise. They are more opaque and provides great support, which you will appreciate during exercise.

Are the leggings suitable for both men and women?

Our leggings pattern has been designed in-house to be a perfect fit for the female form. Both fabric options have enough stretch and elasticity to fit and flatter most body shapes and sizes. If you are looking to specifically design your own custom printed men's leggings, get in touch with us, via email or chat, as we are currently working on these and they should be available soon.

Do you make plus size leggings?

The simple answer is yes, because we make all of our personalized leggings to order. At Contrado, we believe creativity and design should not be limited by size. This is why we have such a wide range of sizes available for our customized leggings. Plus size leggings are something which we are passionate about, as they allow those of all shapes and sizes to be able to embrace their personal style.
