CHOOSING THE RIGHT FABRIC FOR YOUR CLOTHING✨
The most important component of a garment is the fabric. Fabric is foundationally important in creating silhouette and aesthetic. The structure of textile, woven or knitted , comprises unique qualities that help determine the shape of the final design. It doesn’t matter how well crafted the seams of the garment are, if it the clothing is made from the wrong fabric, it will not do justice to the design and will look like a disaster.
Be excited to go fabric shopping! 🛍️Prepare yourself mentally and enter the store with a picture of your design in your mind, aware of the colours you want and a really specific idea of how you want the final garment to look.Here’s some tips to choose the right fabric;
1. Consider the fabric weight
📌Measuring the fabric weight is a way of measuring the thickness of the material and differentiating between light weight, medium weight or heavy weight fabric.
2. Examine the fabric drape
📌The drape determines how the fabric flows. In the other words, stiff fabric have less drape and fluid fabrics have more drape. Easy! But be careful with this term. Drape is often confused with weight but they are two different factors that affect how garments look.
3. Test the fabric stretch
📌Stretch is how is much your fabric stretches. Fabrics have different elasticity which is ability of textile fibers to “bounce back” when they are stretched. When you are choosing a fabric with stretch, you have to be sure that it works for your pattern because it can change how the final product fits the body.
Only an excellent fabric can originate an excellent fashion. Now, it’s time to go shopping and practice what you learned!
