Abstract

This study was designed (1) to measure drapability of 24 fabrics for women's dress with three methods: objective measurement by drape coefficient, subjective evaluation by sight, and subjective evaluation by sight and touch, (2) to compare and analyze these three measurements, and (3) to investigate the relation between drapability and use-conformity for women's dress. So far, high correlation between subjective and objective measurements was reported. But this study showed a different result: high correlation was observed only when the drapability score by subjective evaluation was low. When high subjective drapability score was observed, the subjective evaluation was affected by the form of fabric drape. Another result showed that use-conformity for women's dress had closer relationship with subjective evaluation than with drape coefficient. When a fabric's drapability, regardless of measuring methods, was poor, the use-conformity was low. On the other hand, if a fabric showed good drapability, there was no relation between use-conformity and drapability.
