Description
Summary:Shape factors of a tight skirt and 3 kinds of flared skirts were investigated precisely. Shape factors of circular fabrics were calculated from mechanical parameters obtained by KES system, however, those of skirts were obtained experimentally. Those results were compared with drape parameters of circular fabrics such as node number (n), static (Ds) and dynamic drape coefficients as revolving drape increase coefficient (Dr), saturated drape coefficient (D200) and turning-around drape coefficient (Dd). They were also compared with node number and static drape coefficient of skits at hem line. Following conclusions were obtained. In the case of tight skirt, flare-1 skirt and flare-2 skirt, the shape factor showed high correlation with drape parameters of the skirts and circular fabrics. The shape factor of skirts has high positive correlation with node number and negative correlation with static drape coefficient of circular fabrics. In the case of flare-3 skirt, there is no correlation between the shape factor and the drape parameters of circular fabrics and skirts, hence shape factor becomes an important parameter which can evaluate the appearance of flared skirt objectively.
