Drapeability is one of the most important visual properties affecting garment appearance. Even though there are many studies concerned with fabric drape, understanding about the drape behaviour of garments is very limited. This study analyzes the key properties affecting the drape behaviour of garments to provide prediction equations. Results are statistically analyzed. From multiple regression analysis, drape rank scores obtained from subjective analyses are predicted using weight, bending modulus and extensibility measured at 100 gf/cm with a correlation coefficient of 0.94. Ranking values obtained from subjective analyses can be more easily predicted using both circularity and wave length minimum. A new equation was derived to predict drape rank score values of garments (correlation coefficient r = 0.97) depending on circularity and wavelength minimum.

“…described by Chu et al (1950) was the first apparatus developed considering drape as a three dimensional property [1]. Later in 1965, Cusick made a great contribution to the measurement of fabric drape objectively [2]. Since then, there has been much further development of drapemeters employed in measuring fabric drape.…”

“…Drape is the deformation of fabric produced by its own weight only if it is directly supported [1]. In other words, the drapeability of a fabric refers to the manner in which the fabric falls, shapes, gathers or flows with gravity when only part of it is directly supported.…”

“…Chu et al designed a drapemeter and determined drape coefficient which is the ratio of the projected area to the specimen's original area [5,6]. Then Cusick developed an instrument based on the principle of the drapemeter designed by Chu et al [1,5]. Hu and Chan investigated the relationship between the fabric drape coefficient from Cusick drapemeter and mechanical properties tested on the Kawabata Evaluation System for woven fabrics [2].…”

Stiffness is an important mechanical property that influences fabric handle, clothing appearance and fit. The circular bending stiffness, fabric formability and drapeability have high influence on fitting the cloths to human body. In this study, the comparison of circular bending stiffness and drape of wool fabrics were analyzed. Comparison of experimental data of fabric parameters shows reasonable agreement between circular bending stiffness and drape behavior.

“…Drape is one of the subjective performance characteristics of fabrics that contribute to aesthetic appeal. It is a complex property that involves bending and shear deformations [9,10]. Conventionally drape is measured by Cusick's drape meter which is a time consuming and slow method.…”

Prediction of Fabric Drape Behaviour using Finite Element Method

In this study, an attempt has been made to predict the drape profile of woven fabrics using finite element analysis. The finite element method has been used in the prediction of structural instability and post buckling behaviour. The drape parameters like Drape coefficient, Drape distance ratio, Fold depth index, Amplitude to radius ratio and Number of nodes predicted by finite element analysis were correlated with those measured by Digital Image Processing method. The correlation between digital image processing method and finite element analysis proves to be very good. In all cases, R 2 value is found to be higher than 0.8. In particular maximum correlation (R 2 = 0.91) is found in case of drape coefficient, because it is based on the project area of draped fabric in both the methods.
