Clothing fabrics are the materials used to make clothing. As one of the three elements of clothing, fabric can not only interpret the style and characteristics of clothing, but also directly affect the color and shape of clothing. So, do you know how to distinguish the front and back of clothing fabrics?
(1) Generally, the patterns and colors on the front side of fabrics are clearer and more beautiful than those on the back side.
(2) For fabrics with a striped appearance and color-matching patterned fabrics, the front pattern must be clear and pleasing to the eye.
(3) Convex and convex fabrics, the front side is tight and delicate, with stripes or patterned ridges; while the reverse side is rougher, with longer floating lines.
(4) Fleece fabric: Single-sided fleece fabric, the fleece side is the front. For double-sided raised fabrics, the smooth and neat side of the pile is the front of the fabric.
(5) Observe the edge of the fabric. The smooth and neat side of the edge is the front of the fabric.
(6) Double-layered multi-layer fabrics. If the warp and weft densities of the front and back sides are different, the front side will generally have a higher density or the front side will be made of better materials.
(7) Leno fabric: The side with clear texture and protruding twisted warp is the front.
(8) Towel fabric: The side with higher terry density is the front side.
(9) Printed fabric: The side with clear pattern and brighter color is the front.
(10) Whole piece of fabric: Except for export products, those with instructions (trademarks) and factory inspection stamps are usually on the reverse side. For most fabrics, there are obvious differences between the front and back sides, but there are also many fabrics whose front and back sides are very similar and can be used on both sides. Therefore, it is not necessary to distinguish the front and back sides of such fabrics.
Correctly analyzing and identifying the properties of clothing fabrics and applying them to clothing design accurately and reasonably is basic knowledge that every designer needs to master. Otherwise, errors in fabric identification may lead to problems in the design, production, wearing or washing of the entire garment. The identification of clothing fabrics includes raw material identification, appearance feature identification and appearance quality identification of clothing fabrics.
