Identification of Clothing Fabric Performance


Correctly analyzing and identifying fabric properties and applying them accurately and reasonably to garment design is fundamental knowledge that every designer must master. Otherwise, misidentification of fabrics could lead to problems in the entire garment’s design, production, wear, or even washing. Fabric identification involves recognizing the raw materials, identifying visual characteristics, and assessing appearance quality. Observing and identifying fabrics should not be limited to visual inspection alone; it should also encompass auditory, tactile, and even olfactory senses. For example, using visual perception, we can observe the fabric’s luster, dyeing effects, surface thickness, weave structure, texture, and fiber appearance. For instance, cotton fabrics typically have a moderate luster, lack fine detailing in their appearance, and may feel rough or contain visible cotton impurities. In contrast, wool-polyester blends exhibit a brighter luster with a shimmering color effect; their texture feels slightly stiff and loses softness as the polyester content increases, showing distinct highlights. Such fabrics tend to be less soft, rigid, flat, and smooth. By using our hands, we can perceive the fabric’s and fibers’ hardness or softness, smoothness or roughness, fineness or coarseness, elasticity, warmth or coolness, and even measure the strength and elongation of fiber yarns.
Different fabrics have varying properties such as breathability, moisture absorption, and warmth retention. For example, pure cotton fabrics offer excellent breathability and moisture absorption, providing comfortable wear and good thermal insulation—making them the ideal choice for children’s clothing fabrics. When selecting fabrics, we should first confirm their key performance characteristics, including breathability, thermal insulation, moisture absorption, and anti-static properties. Then, taking into account the fabric’s stiffness, weight, softness, and drape, we can determine what types of shapes and styles would best suit it.

Complete fabric analysis

1. High-precision fabrics are typically characterized by high yarn count and high fabric density, which reflect their premium quality. Generally speaking, the higher the yarn count and the denser the weave, the higher the fabric’s grade. High-precision curtains are more durable and elastic, and their polyester surface is exceptionally smooth with tightly arranged internal molecules, giving them excellent abrasion resistance. High-precision fabrics have a remarkable sense of depth and dimension, instantly elevating the aesthetic appeal of your home—just one curtain can make the entire space look luxurious and sophisticated. 2. These fully blackout, high-precision curtains offer the best light-blocking performance compared to other types. Even the palest shades of white achieve 100% blackout. If you’re a night owl who loves sleeping in complete darkness, this high-precision option is perfect for you. 3. Chenille fabric is a new type of textile that has emerged in recent years. It boasts excellent fabric permeability, water absorption, and wrinkle resistance. It feels soft to the touch, has moderate elasticity, and offers exceptional softness. Most importantly, chenille fabric is resistant to pilling, providing a silky-smooth texture and a luxuriously plush velvet-like feel. 4. Australian cashmere is made from 100% pure cotton. Its key features are its brushed texture and lustrous finish, achieved through a grinding process that creates a rich, heavy feel and outstanding drape. Because the velvet fibers are shorter than those in brushed fabrics, they’re less likely to shed or pill, and the fabric takes on a softly fuzzy, velvety texture that feels incredibly comfortable to the touch. 5. Velvet fabric refers to a cotton fabric whose surface is brushed to create a lush, fluffy texture. The velvet treatment is applied through tiny needle holes on the fabric’s surface, making it even fluffier, more three-dimensional, and highly glossy. It feels soft and substantial, and when hung at home, it exudes an irresistibly warm and cozy ambiance. 6. Cotton-linen fabrics are breathable, comfortable, skin-friendly, anti-static, non-irritating, and do not curl or fray. Made from cotton fibers, these fabrics don’t carry any static charge, and the cotton fibers are resistant to deformation and pilling. That’s why many households choose cotton-linen—it’s durable, long-lasting, and offers great value for money. 7. Imitation silk fabric is made from polyester but looks remarkably similar to real silk. It feels incredibly smooth and has a high-end texture, offering excellent value for money. 8. The semi-transparent, non-opaque shade veil is soft, lightweight, thin yet opaque enough to provide good light-blocking performance. In the light, it seems as if diamonds are gently rubbing against the curtain and scattering shimmering highlights—its beauty is truly extraordinary. While sunlight can still shine through, you won’t be able to see outside from behind the curtain. It’s the perfect combination for creating an atmosphere of sophistication, romance, and privacy. 9. Ultra-soft chiffon is lightweight, soft, breathable, and naturally drapes beautifully. It has excellent skin-friendliness, a dreamy, misty appearance, and creates a romantic atmosphere at home. It feels soft and cool to the touch, has an elegant look, and excels in both breathability and drape.
