DESIGNING THE AESTHETIC PROPERTIES OF DENIM FABRIC ACCORDING TO A GIVEN DRAFTABILITY

Abstract

Denim is one of the world's oldest fabrics and is most often associated with jeans. Today, denim jeans are one of the most popular pieces of clothing, loved by many people around the world, regardless of gender, culture, climate, season, and social situation. Denim with elastane provides excellent fit, lightness and comfort, retaining its shape for a long time. Such clothing does not hinder movement, emphasizes the dignity of the figure and does not form folds and has good drape [1,2]. Therefore, it is advisable to use a thread mixed with elastane in denim. The paper developed a design technique for drape for denim. The parameters of the fabric for a given drapeability are determined, in particular, the density of the fabric over the warp and over the weft.
