Correlation of fabric properties and crease

Crease is one form of pleat,and it is a typical form in costume for decoration.Crease has the features of strong stereoscopic and fluid impression.Crease has certain degree,that is,if the shaped pleat is pulled apart,it will stretch to several times of the original length.Moreover,crease is relevant with the fabric property.In order to design perfect form of pleat,the relationship between all fabric properties(thickness,drape coefficient,surface density,flexural rigidity,and density) and crease should be worked out.First,the fabric properties were obtained via experiments.Then the data were analyzed by using SPSS statistical software to get the mathematical relation between the fabric properties and crease.Mathematical model of surface density and crease was deduced.
