Drape behaviour of seamed fabrics

Fabric objective measurement and drape

“…The drape profiles of seamed fabrics were different from un-seamed samples in terms of node size (form) and distribution. In seamed samples, minimum fold amplitude was lower and maximum fold amplitude was greater than in un-seamed samples [74].…”

“…Smaller samples had higher drape coefficient values and rate of reduction than larger ones. However, the larger samples had higher weight of around 67.41%, there was not significant correlation observed between this increased weight and the change of drape coefficient with time [74].…”

“…[90]. Jevšnik and Žunič-Lojen found two or three nodes in the weft direction seam [74] (see Figure 4.2Figure 5.2) . Seam number increased fabric DC.…”

“…Jevsnik and Zunic-Lojen proposed using the maximum amplitude of folds I , minimum amplitude of folds I and the angle between two neighbouring peaks of the folds i to measure drape [74].…”

“…Additional fabric lies under the fabric's face and the thread used within garment seaming(not sure what this means)increased fabric bending rigidity [74]. The increment range was between 13.35-42.78% [78].…”
