It is the basic knowledge that every designer needs to master to correctly analyze and identify the performance of fabrics and apply them accurately and reasonably in clothing design. Otherwise, the wrong identification of fabrics may lead to problems in the design, production, wearing or washing of the entire garment. The identification of clothing fabrics includes the identification of raw materials of clothing fabrics, the identification of appearance features and the identification of appearance quality. Observing and identifying fabrics requires not only vision, but also hearing, touch and even smell. For example, use the visual effect of the eyes to observe the luster and shade of the fabric, the dyeing condition, the thickness of the surface, and the appearance characteristics of the structure, texture and fiber. For example, the pure cotton cloth has ordinary luster, but the appearance is not clean enough, rough or even has neps impurities, wool and polyester blended The woolen fabric has a brighter luster and a sense of flashing color. The body bone is slightly hardened but soft, and it is obviously prominent with the increase of polyester content. Lacks soft softness, fabric is crisp. Flat and smooth; use the tactile effect of the hand to feel the softness, hardness, smoothness, thickness, elasticity, temperature, etc. of the fabric and fiber. The strength and elongation of the yarn in the fiber can also be measured by hand.
Different fabrics have different properties such as air permeability, moisture absorption, and warmth retention. For example, cotton fabric has good air permeability and moisture absorption, is comfortable to wear, and has good warmth retention. It is the most ideal fabric for children's clothing. When choosing fabrics, it is necessary to confirm the performance characteristics of the fabrics such as air permeability, heat preservation, moisture absorption, and static electricity, and then consider the fabric's crispness, weight, hardness, and drape to consider what kind of shape it is suitable for and what to do. The same style and so on.
