Correlative Study of the Fabric Properties and the Shrinkage of Gather

Abstract:

Gather is one form of pleat, and it is a typical form in decoration of apparel. Gather has certain shrinkage degree and shrinkage is relevant with the fabric property. In order to design perfect form of gather, the relationship between all fabric properties (thickness, drape coefficient, surface density, flexural rigidity, and density) and shrinkage should be worked out. In this paper, the fabric properties and shrinkage were obtained via experiments. And then, the data was analyzed by SPSS statistical software to get the mathematical relation between the fabric properties and shrinkage. The mathematical model of calculating shrinkage using surface density was deduced and validated through practical application.
