Abstract
To find out factors which contribute to easy handling in making-up and to a good appearance in finished garments, mechanical properties of fabrics such as extension, bending, shearing, compression, friction and surface contour were measured.On the other, eighteen making-up personnels classified the fabrics according to the easiness in making-up and their appearance.The results are summarized as follows:1) Easy handling in making-up fabrics can only be obtained within small ranges in tensile, bending, shearing and compressional properties. Larger ratio of plasticity to elasticity in bending and shearing properties gives more easiness.2) The mechanical properties of fabrics having a good appearance in finished garments lie almost in the same range[1] as fabrics having good hand, or close to those of fabrics easy for handling in making-up. Further, the complex physical properties in the gravitational field contribute to a good appearance in finished suits.3) Fabrics easy for handling in making-up and fabrics having a good appearance in finished suits have moderate take-in and settability.
