Clothing Fabric Manufacturers' Fabric Considerations

  •  

    Choose the right Clothing Fabric Manufacturers for your garments

    It's easy to get overwhelmed with the sheer variety of fabrics on display, but it will simplify your fabric selection time if you consider these factors when starting your fabric scouting:

    1. Consider fabric weight
    The weight of a fabric is measured in GSM (grams per square meter), which defines the weight or weight of the fabric. Don't worry, you don't have to weigh the fabric at the store. Measuring fabric weight is a way to measure the thickness of a material and can differentiate between light, medium and heavy fabrics.

    2. Check fabric drape
    Drapability determines how the fabric flows. In other words, stiff fabrics have less drape and fluid fabrics have more drape. simple! But be careful with this word. Wrinkles are often confused with weight, but they are two different factors that affect the appearance of a garment.

    Fabrics with more drape will allow the skirt to float away from your body, while fabrics with a softer drape will allow the skirt to conform to your body. For example, if you want a flowing skirt, you should choose a thin and drapey fabric, but if you want a more layered skirt, choose a stiff and thick fabric.
