Abstract

Stiffness is an important mechanical property that influences fabric handle, clothing appearance and fit. The circular bending stiffness, fabric formability and drapeability have high influence on fitting the cloths to human body. In this study, the comparison of circular bending stiffness and drape of wool fabrics were analyzed. Comparison of experimental data of fabric parameters shows reasonable agreement between circular bending stiffness and drape behavior.
