Shirt fabric

Knitted fabrics can be classified into two main categories according to their knitting methods: weft-knitted fabrics and warp-knitted fabrics. Weft-knitted fabrics are typically made from low-elasticity polyester yarns or specially shaped polyester yarns, nylon yarns, cotton yarns, wool yarns, and the like, and are knitted on various weft-knitting machines using plain knit structures, variable plain knit structures, rib knit structures, double rib knit structures, jacquard structures, looped pile structures, and other patterns.
Soft fabric
Soft fabrics are generally lightweight and sheer, with excellent drape and fluid, streamlined silhouettes that create a natural, comfortable fit. Soft fabrics primarily include loosely woven knits and silks, as well as soft, thin linens. In fashion design, soft knits often feature clean, linear forms that accentuate the body’s graceful curves, while silks, linen gauzes, and other such fabrics more commonly adopt loose, pleated shapes that highlight the flowing quality of their fabric lines.
Very cool fabric
Stiff, structured fabrics feature crisp lines and a sense of volume, enabling the creation of well-defined garment silhouettes. Common choices include cotton, polyester-cotton blends, corduroy, linen, as well as various medium- to heavy-weight wools and synthetic fabrics. These materials are ideal for designs that emphasize precise tailoring and silhouette, such as suits and tailored ensembles.
Glossy fabric
Smooth fabrics have a glossy surface that reflects bright light, creating a radiant, glowing appearance. This category includes fabrics with a satin-like structure. They are most commonly used in evening gowns and stage costumes to achieve a lavish, eye-catching visual impact. Glossy fabrics offer great design flexibility in dressmaking, allowing for both understated simplicity and bold, exaggerated styling.
Heavy-duty fabric
Thick, heavyweight fabrics are sturdy and provide a stable silhouette; this includes various types of thick wool and quilted fabrics. Such fabrics have a naturally voluminous drape and should not be overly pleated or layered. In terms of design, A-line and H-line silhouettes are the most suitable.
Sheer fabric
Sheer fabrics are lightweight and translucent, creating an elegant and mysterious artistic effect. They include cotton, silk, and synthetic fabrics such as georgette, satin, and synthetic lace. To highlight the transparency of these fabrics, designers often employ natural, full-bodied lines and dynamic H-shaped and circular silhouettes.
Functional fabric
Functional fabrics are textiles that possess specialized properties such as flame retardancy, antistatic performance, and resistance to acids and alkalis.
