Confession time: I’ve been reselling clothing for years, and I just learned about ITY fabric after purchasing a White House Black Market Romper at a local resale shop. Now I’m wondering how I ever overlooked it because it’s been in front of me the whole time.
If you’ve ever worn a dress that felt buttery-soft, moved like a dream, and somehow never wrinkled… you may already know what I just figured out. That magic fabric? It’s called ITY, and it’s kind of a big deal.
Let’s talk about why.
So, What Is ITY?
ITY stands for Interlock Twist Yarn—a knit fabric made from polyester and spandex. The yarn is twisted before it’s woven, which gives it that signature silky drape and amazing stretch.
It feels like the lovechild of yoga pants and your favorite work dress—in the best possible way.
Why ITY Is a Resale Game-Changer
Now that I know what it is, I realize how many high-quality pieces I’ve come across with this fabric—especially from brands like:
- White House Black Market
- Maggy London
- INC International Concepts
- Chico’s
- Calvin Klein
Here’s why I’m now actively looking for ITY pieces to list:
- Doesn’t wrinkle (yes, even in a shipping bag)
- Flattering stretch without clinging
- Colors stay vibrant
- Feels way more expensive than it is
It’s the kind of fabric that makes you look put together with zero effort. And that’s the dream, right?
ITY Clothing Is So Easy to Care For
I had to double-check the label to believe it:
- Machine wash cold
- Lay flat or hang to dry
- No ironing needed
That’s a big yes please from me—and my buyers. When you’re reselling clothes, the easier it is to wear and wash, the better it does.
Great for Travel, Work, and Everyday Life
ITY pieces work overtime in your closet. Whether it’s a knee-length A-line dress or a flowy jumpsuit, they’re perfect for:
- Travel: Doesn’t wrinkle in a suitcase
- Work: Looks polished but feels like pajamas
- Events: Drapes beautifully without clinging
Pair it with sandals for a daytime look or dress it up with heels and accessories for an evening ensemble. Same jumpsuit, a whole new vibe.
Final Takeaway: ITY = Your Secret Weapon for Style
If you’re shopping resale and want something that looks luxe, travels well, and lasts forever, look for ITY on the tag. I’m officially obsessed—and now that I know what to look for, I’m curating a section just for ITY pieces in my shop.
