Abstract:

Garment style was affected not only by basic parameters of fabrics, but also by grain directions. Thin cotton-tabby fabrics were chosen to make skirt shape tests with same pattern but different grain directions. Objective and subjective assessments were made. The purpose was to explore the difference between skirt styles of the same fabric with different grain directions or the same grain direction with different fabrics. The results show that changing grain directions of the same fabric made little effect on objective assessment of skirt style, but marked effect on subjective assessment. Different fabrics with same grain directions showed a marked effect on skirt style. Pattern design affects the subjective assessment of skirt style greatly.
