elasticised
Given flexible properties
Elasticised is the British spelling of elasticized—made stretchy by incorporating elastic material.
Clothing with an elasticised waist or cuffs uses woven elastic bands or threads to allow stretch and recovery: elasticised cuffs, an elasticised waistband.
The term applies to any fabric or material given elastic properties.
