The aim of this study is to analyze the effect of three seam types, stitches (301, 401 and 504) and directions (warp, weft and 45o bias) on the drape behaviour of medium cotton woven fabrics. Drape profiles of fabrics with seams provide guidance for garment designs, producers in the apparel industry and improve the understanding of drape properties corresponding to different seam features. The results also will be useful in predicting garment drape in further study |
