A look at Man Made Fabrics

Spandex is another popular man made fiber. Its ability to stretch and
snap back to its original form makes a spandex ideal for a blend used
in garments designed to hold their shape. Spandex was developed in
1959, but made famous in 1999 when Brandi Chastain whipped off her
shirt to reveal her spandex sports bra at the 1999 Women's World Cup
Championship. We'll never look at spandex the same way again.
