Noodles - material characteristics and customer reviews

Every woman strives to look slim and highlight her figure. Therefore, when sewing clothes, most manufacturers use materials that can provide a perfect fit. One of these is noodle knitwear, which, thanks to the vertical rib, elongates the figure, slims, and at the same time does not restrict movement. The material stretches along the weft and takes any shape.

Many people have seen noodle fabric in stores, but not everyone knows what it is. Those who do not yet have experience working with this material should familiarize themselves with its properties, advantages and methods of care.

Characteristics and composition

The peculiar rib characteristic of noodles is created thanks to a special structure - during knitting, purl and target loops alternate.
This is a soft and elastic material that stretches well and fits the figure. The composition of the yarn can be different - wool, cotton, viscose, acrylic, polyester, polyamide, elastane and other artificial or natural materials are used.

The material lends itself well to dyeing and retains its color for a long time, despite exposure to sunlight, water and laundry detergents. The noodles do not wrinkle, they practically do not stretch and do not shrink over time.

Reviews

Users leave numerous positive opinions and post photos of noodle fabric. Comfortable, pleasant to the body things are convenient to wear regardless of the season. People focused separately on warm and summer things. The low price allows you to combine things by color. This makes it possible to create a classic, strict look for work, and a bright one for relaxation.

Excessive elasticity remains unpleasant, which over time makes things unwearable. Stretched turtlenecks and T-shirts lose their appeal.

Dress models

Noodle fabric is an elastic, ribbed material that resembles a ribbed knit. Alternating purl and knit stitches create the visual appearance of cylindrical strips (hence the name “noodles”). The main feature of the dresses is that they are quite tight-fitting to the silhouette. This is beneficial for graceful figures, but if you have excess volume in the abdomen or hips, it is better to refrain from using such products.

For obese women, a dress made of noodle fabric is suitable, but you should add elements such as a cardigan or a long summer coat to the ensemble.

An incredibly feminine look can be created by creating a noodle dress with a neckline, which visually increases your height, adds volume to your chest and a thinner waist. Such products are ideally combined with high boots and stilettos. A noodle dress with bare shoulders will add romance and originality. At first glance, it looks a little shocking and provocative, but the inclusion of light accessories in the overall ensemble will create a mysterious feminine image.

There are many options for cut, color content and decoration of dresses. The length of the products determines their style and belonging to a fashion trend. For example, a short noodle dress will add playfulness and lightness to a woman’s look. This item is indispensable in your wardrobe and will come in handy at any time of the year. A long noodle dress will add formality and efficiency. This item can be safely worn to a special event, party, or disco. It is important to choose the right accessories and clothing items. You can use a scarf or knitted scarf, jewelry of natural origin, or a watch with a narrow strap.

Application area

Various items of men's, women's and children's clothing are made from noodles:

• sweaters;
• cardigans;
• pullovers;
• turtlenecks;
• T-shirts;
• dresses;
• women's suits;
• pajamas and so on.

Since the material is very comfortable and fits the body well, it is also used to make sportswear. However, it is suitable not only for sewing independent products - you can often see elastic bands made from noodles on the necks, sleeves and belts of jackets.

The history of knitwear “noodles”

Knitwear came to our world with the advent of the first knitting machine. In the 15th century, Italian designers presented a collection of clothing made from knitwear. The fabric created a sensation and quickly began to gain popularity. Nowadays, knitwear is considered a classic fabric, as well as one of the most popular, as evidenced by the large number of its varieties and areas of application. Noodle knitwear is one of its most popular types, along with crepe, interlock, kulirka and viscose.

What to wear with noodle dresses?

Thin openwork tights, a light silk scarf or scarf, a wide or narrow leather belt, several strands of beads - all these elements will help accentuate the style and emphasize feminine charm. Wearing a lurex noodle dress and a plain knitted shawl or scarf is a great opportunity to stand out and emphasize your individuality. To become elegant and attractive, it is better to use thin and light jewelry, the color of which matches the shade of the dress.

Intuition and taste preferences will tell you how and with what to wear dresses from noodle fabrics. Still, it’s worth listening to the advice of stylists. Bright and multi-colored dresses are not recommended to be combined with openwork catchy tights. To create a harmonious look, it is better to use plain light tights, jewelry and accessories in calm tones. Strict dark-colored dresses can be combined with bright jewelry made of stone, wood or precious metals.

Dresses in light colors with a black belt, multi-colored samples with plain accessories, dark items with colored rhinestones, sequins or oriental prints look beautiful. In the photo you can see hundreds of options for combinations of clothing elements, decoration details and accessories. A creative approach to creating an image will help achieve originality and uniqueness.

Advantages and disadvantages

• this material has a simple and natural, but at the same time effective appearance;
• due to its softness and elasticity it is very comfortable;
• the noodles hold their shape well;
• the material does not fade due to the action of water and detergents;
• clothes made from noodles are slimming due to the presence of pronounced vertical stripes;
• knitwear breathes well, providing comfort;
• noodles also easily absorb moisture, removing it from the body.

The negative properties of noodles include the fact that due to the high elasticity and stretchability of this material, over time, products made from it begin to lose shape.

Description

France is considered the birthplace of knitwear with a raised rib in the lobar direction. The material appeared in the last quarter of the twentieth century, and quickly became popular.

Knitted noodles are a medium-density fabric, stretchable, dense, soft and pleasant to the touch. A distinctive feature of the material is the presence of relief vertical stripes. Produced by knitting with alternating knit and purl loops on machines.

Knitted fabrics are produced plain-dyed with a predominance of neutral shades. The color range is wide, mostly muted colors: pink, burgundy, blue, variations of black, gray, beige, white.

Knitted noodles are rarely produced printed. The finished canvases are painted at the final stage using safe, environmentally friendly pigments. High-quality types of material do not form pellets on the surface and demonstrate high wear resistance.

Which is better, ribana or kashkorse

There are many similar fabrics and cashkorse is often compared to ribana. The materials have a similar, natural composition with the addition of synthetics and a fine striped pattern.

There is still a difference. The difference lies in the knitting technology. Ribbon fabric is a cross-knitted type. The scar on the surface of the cashkorse is more voluminous and wider. But the ribana is small and narrow, because it is intended for underwear knitwear, items for newborns and underwear. Which is better, cashkorse or ribana, depends only on the purpose of the product.

Extensibility coefficient

To do this, measure a piece of 10 cm on the fabric, departing approximately 7 cm from the cut of the fabric. Take the piece on both sides, stretch it and attach it to a ruler or centimeter. Note the resulting size.

If the fabric stretches to 15 cm or more, it is a high stretch knit (from 50%) If the fabric stretches to 13 cm, it is a medium stretch knit (30%) If the fabric stretches to 12 cm or less, it is a low stretch knit (up to 12%)

Care instructions

Caring for noodle products is easy; they can be washed at temperatures up to 40 degrees. In this case, it is better to use the delicate or manual mode. To give things extra softness, you need to add conditioner to the powder.

Clothes made from noodles should not be twisted during the spin cycle, nor should they be dried on a hanger. After washing, it is recommended to gently squeeze it out without twisting it, and then lay it on a horizontal surface and leave it until completely dry.

Such knitwear should be ironed carefully, from the wrong side, and if possible, with plenty of steam.

Noodle items should be stored on shelves. You should not leave them on hangers - in this case, the clothes can quickly stretch out, losing their original appearance.

What types of dresses are made from noodle fabric?

All about knitwear

Igolo4ka Reg.02/20/2005 Message 1546	A lot of knitwear has appeared in stores, even various knitted fabrics. I REALLY want to talk about knitwear: fashionable patterns, nuances of cutting, WTO, processing technology...... Everything is interesting. In sewing, how to sew knitwear, in patterns, how to cut, and if you combine it all.
Lady Bird Reg.03.12.2004Message.459	Yes Yes! (Jumps up and claps his hands). I love sewing knitwear, but I have more questions than answers. Materials from the Season are in the piggy bank. Unfortunately, in the Atelier information about knitwear is presented in downright homeopathic doses.

And here's my question. How to duplicate knitwear and is it necessary to do it? For example, the sides, hems in a knitted jacket. And which doubler should I choose? And won’t the duplicated part decrease in size? And how will it wear? And if the jacket has buttons, it’s not enough to duplicate only the edge, do you need to duplicate the rivet locations in the edge itself? And most importantly, how to guess the places of rivets in advance, provided that everything is sewn according to Burda’s pattern, in which a lot of corrections and places for buttons are planned to be outlined during the last fitting. Please teach me...

Why is “noodle” knitwear in fashion and how does it differ from other fabrics?

Noodles are knitted jersey with small vertical stripes along its entire length. The material, unlike other fabrics, allows the dress to completely hug the figure, just like turtlenecks do. By 2021, many interesting styles have been created that are worthy of the attention of fashionistas. Each of them has the advantages of knitwear and a special “noodle” pattern:

1. The dress fits tightly to the figure without losing its shape. To maintain the shape, lurex or elastane is added to the knitwear. Especially for creating original models with ties and other accessories;
2. The product is easy to wash and store. A high-quality knitted dress does not lose its colorfulness;
3. The model fits the figure, emphasizing the hips, décolleté and waist. There are styles with a slimming effect, they are suitable for overweight women;
4. The noodle pattern slims and elongates the silhouette, adding centimeters to height.

Overweight girls of short stature and those with major deficiencies in the abdominal area should avoid wearing a noodle dress. The product emphasizes all the curves of the body.

Texture of fabrics and material

Noodle dresses are usually made from body-soft fabric - knitwear. It has the ability to stretch well, thereby highlighting the main advantages of any girl. Knitwear may also contain other materials that can change the style of the dress:

• Knitwear with wool is an excellent option for autumn and winter;
• Acrylic with jersey creates a dress that wrinkles less. The texture itself highlights a clear pattern. The fabric is very easy to care for;
• The addition of elastane makes clothing more wear-resistant and lightweight;
• Viscose is not electrified. Such dresses are of very high quality, and the fabric is an environmentally friendly product;
• Cotton with jersey allows the dress to breathe and also keep warm.

Sleeveless dress

This style is usually made from lightweight knitwear, as it is popular during the warmer months of the year.

In hot weather, you can add just a few accessories to the dress, but in colder weather, you can complement the look by wearing a jacket, leather jacket or denim.

Fashionable noodle styles 2021

There are an endless number of styles. They differ in the length of the hem and sleeves, the presence of fittings, neck or collar. There are models of noodle dresses that exactly repeat the cut of sweaters or turtlenecks. The style of the cut and its appropriateness in a given situation depend on this. More original models are additionally equipped with belts, ties and lacing. But first things first.

Dresses with a neck, V-neck and collar

These collar options of noodle dresses are popular. Each of them pursues its own goal:

1. A dress with a turtleneck neckline protects against light cold winds. It can be worn with denim jackets in spring and autumn. Noodles with a throat do not suit those with a round face - it will appear wider than it actually is;
2. Dress with a collar - there are many options. A collar, like a sweater, protects from the cold and is often used instead of a scarf. Products with a snood that opens one shoulder look feminine and emphasize beautiful collarbones;
3. A V-neck is an ideal option to highlight your décolleté and beautiful breasts. To prevent it from hanging, you need a special support bra. This neckline is complemented with lacing if it is in the shape of an elongated V.

Off-the-shoulder models: cut-outs and dropped sleeves

Most models of noodle dresses have long sleeves. This gives a special femininity to the image. Models with open shoulders are not recommended for women with a boyish body type (for example, an inverted triangle). The upper body will look bulky. A dropped sleeve is typical for a dress with a wide neck or a knitted collar.

The shoulders can be open due to the boat neckline. This dress does not have a collar. Some consider the style to be an evening style, since it does not go well with all everyday things. This model with bare shoulders does not go well with openwork cardigans and transparent blouses.

Lacing, cuts and accessories

The fittings allow designers to create new original models based on a standard style. The slits on the sides of the noodle dress are a piquant detail with nice features. The side slits visually elongate the silhouette and increase the girl’s height.

Lacing is often used as accessories. It is located on the neckline in the shape of the letter V, on the sides in slits or at the back. It is not customary to use other decorative elements (such as beads, embroidery and bugles). Knitted noodles look weighted, and this greatly detracts from the appearance. Another option for accessories is decorative zippers, fasteners, and buttons. They are located in the same way as the lacing.

Summer sleeveless noodle dresses

Sleeveless noodle dress styles are perfect for a summer capsule wardrobe. There are several options for young and older women. Please note that they emphasize the shortcomings of an imperfect body more than other models:

1. The strappy noodle dress is the perfect sleeveless option for everyday wear. In the spring-summer capsule, models below the knee length and short styles are welcome. The straps are thin or wide - depends on the width of the shoulders. The wider they are, the wider the strap should be. This option is suitable for women over 50 years old with a good figure. The model can be loose cut. It is often called a T-shirt dress.
2. Bodycon noodles - a dress with a bandage effect. Similar styles are sewn from very thick knitwear with elastane. The main difference from a bandage dress is the lack of a corrective effect. Knitwear will still highlight flaws, no matter how hard you try. The bodycon dress has no straps and is often sleeveless. The style fits into a capsule or cocktail look.
3. A dress with a corset is a separate piece sold as a set. The corset may differ in the texture of the material, color, have lacing and decorative fittings.

Fashionable fabrics

When choosing a material, you should take into account many features - body type, work dress code, accessories. The key feature of the model is a loose cut, which does not have complex elements.

Knitted

This option is considered the most popular. The key mistake of many fashionistas is the wrong choice of material. The knitted model should emphasize the advantages and hide the flaws of the figure.

This option is perfect for business compositions. It can also be worn to a club party.

Attention! Small knitted noodles are suitable for energetic girls who lead an active lifestyle. A larger pattern is a real godsend for short fashionistas, as it helps them look noticeably slimmer.

With lurex

This product is an excellent solution for girls who want to stand out from others. The combination of a laconic cut with a shiny texture looks very harmonious. At the same time, an outfit with lurex does not seem too pretentious.

However, stylists do not recommend complementing it with bright jewelry, scarves in rich colors and flashy shoes. In this case, a simple handbag and neutral shoes will do.

Knitted noodles

This option can confidently be called warm and practical. It goes well with jackets and coats. Knitted noodles will help hide a small belly or full hips. This model is perfect for winter.

It can visually increase volumes and does not always fit organically into business compositions. This option seems more homely and cozy. Therefore, it should not be used for official bows.

The texture of the pattern is of no small importance. It perfectly follows the curves of the body. If you choose a dress that is too small, it will seem vulgar. A model that is too large will not allow you to emphasize your advantages.

Popular styles

Numerous new products developed by designers for fans make it easy to create an attractive hourglass silhouette. This is what attracts those who want to look perfect. This seemingly simple thing is actually quite insidious. It will highlight not only the advantages, but also the existing problem areas. For women with excess volume in the abdomen and hips, it is better to refrain from such a thing or disguise unsightly shapes with a cardigan or jacket.

A comfortable knitted dress called noodles is a good solution for creating comfortable looks for a true fashionista. Many have already considered the advantages of such a thing when choosing it for their wardrobe.

Below the knee

Designers are increasingly using midi length when creating new creations. This received a response in the hearts of fans. Women liked the item, which allows them to easily create an attractive look for home or walking. Expectant mothers do not pass her by. The product allows you to look stylish and feel as comfortable as possible, which is extremely important.

It accepts the dress code well below the knee length and the noodle style can be used even within the walls of offices. You just need to choose the appropriate color, accessories, bag. Perhaps add a formal jacket. The result will be a discreet and at the same time elegant picture.

An attractive product requires high-heeled shoes. Take this into account when composing an ensemble.

With lurex

The addition of iridescent lurex to attractive knitwear attracts those who are not accustomed to restraint and monotony. The designers tried to create the most harmonious thing possible, so that the woman would not turn into a New Year tree, but would simply add a little holiday to her look.

A dress with lurex is suitable for those who are going to the theater, for a birthday, or another holiday. The main thing is to correctly complement the set with jewelry and choose the appropriate shoes. The shine of Lurex will be quite enough, so the remaining components should be laconic. The black dress with lurex in the noodle style remains one of the most popular. If you wish, you can choose something brighter. The length of the outfit should be chosen taking into account the characteristics of the figure and personal preferences.

With lace elements

Many people know that noodles perfectly slim and create a feminine image, but in combination with lace this effect is greatly enhanced. The duet looks as romantic and elegant as possible. There are variations in sleeve length; here the choice depends on the woman’s desire. When choosing, be guided by the weather outside the window and time of year.

Depending on the mood of the created product, it will easily complement your everyday and holiday wardrobe.

With lace

Designers try to change familiar products by introducing original elements. This solution was lacing, complementing a familiar thing. It can be located on the back, in the chest area. In each case, the mood of the image will change.

The sultry summer is a great reason for a noodle dress to appear in your wardrobe, and this is also confirmed by numerous photos in fashionable gloss. The presented new product is suitable for creating a festive ensemble. It is unlikely that frivolity in the form of lacing, exposing the neckline or back, will be correctly perceived within the office walls.

For a complete set, choose elegant high-heeled shoes and original jewelry. In general, the picture should be light; makeup and careless styling will help with this.

With bare shoulders

A dress without a sleeve is a real trend of the fashion season; the noodle model in this design looks sexy. The mood of the image is radically changed by the selected jewelry. Expression and extravagance can transform into tender romance.

In the evening, your bare shoulders will be covered with a bolero, cardigan or jacket of your choice. The completed look will look good paired with heels. Pumps, ankle boots, sandals are a small part of the suitable options.

The attractive model is not suitable for office and classroom walls. It will look extremely inappropriate. The product will allow a girl to become the star of a party or a noisy celebration. Mature ladies should try midi and maxi lengths. Wanting to emphasize slender legs and add sexuality to an already sensual look, young ladies can choose a revealing mini. When creating such an ensemble, keep in mind that there is a short distance between attractiveness and vulgarity.

With a slit

The slits on the dress, made from noodle material, are a harmonious complement to midi and maxi length products. The cut not only serves a decorative function, drawing attention to slender legs, but allows a woman to feel more comfortable in a tight outfit.

The incision can be located in the front, behind, most often there are options where it is on the sides. It can be decorated with lace and zipper. The selected element is good in any design.

The noodle model is suitable for meetings with friends, study and work, as long as everything is decency-free. To create a trendy combination, choose colored stockings and thin leggings. Shoes with heels would be suitable. Products where the back shelf is shorter than the front look original. This is the choice of extravagant, self-confident beauties.

The ideal length of a noodle dress

Noodle dresses are characterized by four types of length; midi is considered ideal. It emphasizes the figure better than other options. When choosing, it is important to consider the quality of the knitted material. Choose styles with elastane so that the bottom does not stretch. Current length options in 2021:

1. A long noodle dress is a casual option. The product has a fitted or loose fit. What you will wear the style with depends on this. Loose dresses are worn with sneakers, fitted ones with sandals and shoes.
2. Below the knee - this length is called midi. It ranges from the kneecap to the ankle. Anything below is considered a long dress. Options are also loose and fitted. They fit differently on the figure. An oversized dress made of noodle jersey suits overweight women.
3. Medium length - varies from mid-thigh to knee. It is considered universal and practical. Suits all girls without exception.
4. Short noodle dresses - have a length from the bend line of the hip to its middle. The styles suit only slender girls. Loose or oversized models are often worn as tunics.

Mini dress

This model is more common among young people. So, a fashionista can show off her figure and slender legs.

Be careful when choosing an outfit, as a tight dress that is too small will constantly ride up, which will not add attractiveness.

This model allows you to create a sport-chic look or go classic.

Choosing the perfect color

To sew noodle dresses, muted and pastel shades are used. The most popular colors last year were burgundy and beige. Today, the palette has expanded. Global brands present stylish orange, yellow, blue, black and purple dresses. They also do this to make the style universal. They try to create patterns that will look equally beautiful on a slender and full figure.

Dark palette: black, gray and brown

Designers have to work with these colors most often. It is from black noodle dresses that they try to get the most out of them. Simple-looking styles are complemented with knitted belts that balance the figure. Such models do not emphasize thinness, but do an excellent job of hiding fullness.

Brown tones remain in fashion. They are considered classic, so mustard and chocolate colored dresses are often recommended as basic ones.

Gray, the most insidious color of all, emphasizes flaws. This color palette is depressing because of how many flaws it shows on the body. A light gray noodle dress will ruin even a very beautiful appearance. Be careful with gray.

White and pastel

But the white color will not spoil the appearance at all until it gets dirty. Along with white dresses, milky and pastel shades of pink, blue, red, light blue, and green are popular. All options look expensive and don’t make you look fatter at all.

I'll be brighter! Red, dark blue and green

This color not only allows you to look bright. All shades are considered a noble range. They make any, even a very low-quality noodle dress, look more expensive. Dark blue and emerald highlight curves and go well with other clothes. From the red palette, wine and cherry tones, as well as burgundy, are in fashion.
