An investigation of design of twist knot drape clothes

Abstract

A study about pattern making of twist knot drape shows that in the constructional systems there isn’t any mathematically founded dependence between the diameter of the knot and the widths of the draped pieces in the place of twist. The paper presents an investigation of connection between the knot diameter and the widths of the draped pieces in the place of twist in design of patterns with twist knot draperies. The investigation has been made only for woven fabrics. The obtained dependence between the knot diameter and the widths of the draped pieces in the place of twist has made the design of patterns with twist knot draperies fully systematized. The systematization gives possibility for easy and correct pattern making of twist knot drape clothes with various sizes of diameter of knot and drapery parts width. The system facilitates the process of fashion design and pattern making and gives possibility of variety of new designs twist knot drape clothes. It is very useful for ready-to-wear industry.
