● Help in deciding the perfect fabric according to your needs
The fabric is the most crucial part of a garment. If you choose the incorrect fabric material, it won’t do justice to the garment.
Fabric Composition
While contemporary textiles are made from a variety of materials, we will focus on the five most widely used clothing materials.
Cotton Material
Cotton is a staple fibre, which means it is made up of different lengths of fibres. Cotton is a natural fibre obtained from cotton plants that is spun into yarn and knitted into a soft and long-lasting fabric. Cotton fabric is well-known for its absorbency, durability, and natural comfort. as a result, it is commonly used for casual clothes such as kurtis, summer co-ordinated dresses, jumpsuits, dhoti dresses, shirts, short kurtas, and dresses.
Cotton blend fabric is one of the best materials to print on since it is absorbent and resistant to wear and tear because of the blended fabrics like polyester.
Synthetic Fabric
Polyester is the most common synthetic fibre used in the fashion industry. Other synthetic fibres used include nylon, acrylic, polypropylene, and elastane. Synthetic materials are strong and may have the look and feel of silk and other natural fabrics while being less expensive. Polyester fabrics with various weaves, such as satin, georgette, and chiffon fabric, are popular. Synthetic materials are favoured for special event outfits such as Anarkali dresses, A-line dresses, slit dresses, wraparound skirts, and salwar suits, kurtis, kurta sets, patiyala suits, and so on.
Viscose Fabric
Viscose is a synthetic fibre manufactured from cellulose, a natural resource. Because of its inherent silk-like characteristics, viscose fibre is woven into beautiful textiles such as organza, satin, modal, muslin, and others. The most well-known viscose fabric is rayon. Viscose materials are more expensive than cotton and polyester fabrics. They are primarily employed in designer outfits such as concept sarees, peplum dresses, vintage gowns, bell sleeve gowns, asymmetric gowns, and shrug jackets.
Silk Fabric
Silk fabric is created from silk fibre, which is a natural fibre produced by the silkworm. Silk is well-known for its lustre and suppleness. It’s a surprisingly strong and long-lasting cloth with a gorgeous drape and lustre. The most popular materials for garment customization are raw silk and plain silk. Silk is a popular fabric for festive and event wear, notably choli, lehengha, anarkali gown, princes cut, and floor-length gowns.
Linen Fabric
Linen Fabric is made from the flax plant’s incredibly fine fibres. These fibres are meticulously extracted, spun into yarn, and woven into large sheets of soft, long-lasting linen fabric. Linen is also used to make pantyhose, skirts, palazzos and box pleated skirts. Embroidered linen textiles are extremely popular.
