The Relation between Elongation of Circular Skirt and Property of Fabric Structure

This paper mainly deals with the problem that it is hard to determine the amount of pattern correction for circular skirt. It selects several kinds of fabrics which have good draping property and conducts the experiment of draping property to measure the elongation. By means of regression analysis to find the relation between fabric basic property parameters and fabrics' elongations in different directions, regression equations are established. The result shows that the elongation of different fabrics is mainly related to the draping property, such as thickness and density. That is, with smaller draping coefficient, thinner and sparser fabric tends to have a great ability of elongation; and the elongation of the same fabric varies with the variation of skein-direction. When the skein is in a direction of 45 degrees, the elongation can reach its best; when the skein is in a direction of 0 degrees or 90 degrees, it has no significant elongation.
