- Abstract
The shape of a produced garment depends on the garment construction and the incorporated material . The end of the produced cloth depends on the qualities of the build material and its construction requirements. These can be estimated subjectively or objectively after the cloth is finished. The raw materials used to obtain clothing products, dictate the comfort of these products. The drape of the fabrics is one of the most significant properties which characterize the shape of produced cloths. Cellulose fibers, have fine silk and gloss, the resistance of polyester, the comfort provided in wool and flaxen in different climatic conditions, the absorption capacity of cotton, dimensional stability, and pronounced cloth covering that facilitate an easy maintenance as acrylic. Characteristics of fibers such as Tencel/ Lyocell and Modal, improve the sensitive textile materials made from fibers blended with them. (Transport of moisture, heat conductibility, cough, permeability to air and vapor, structure, drape coefficient. etc.). Particularly, in this paper, the capacity of Tencel fiber has been analyzed to improve textile materials' drape, made from fibers blended with that by a visual method, comparing the drape coefficient and drape fold number.
