Drape is the most important aesthetic concept characteristics. Various methods have been employed to study this concept objectively. For many years textile researchers studied this fabric attribute in order to evaluate the drape quality, improve and design the drape ability of garments. In this present study the concept of drape parameters in terms of Node parameters have been studied using software made in Macromedia Flash Player thus removing the chances of human error. Here, this study also analyses the correlation between the Node parameters with constructional and bending properties of PC blended fabric. Results obtained show that the drape properties of the fabric can be connected to various fabric structure parameters. The greatest correlation is obtained between Node parameters and GSM, thickness, Flexural rigidity, and good correlation with other parameters.

Abstract:-Drape coefficient is a dependent value which itself is not sufficient to describe drape. Along, with this other drape parameters are also required to have a profound understanding of drape. In this paper it has been tried to find out the height dependency of these parameters to explain drape more explicitly. It shows that a positive correlation exists between the height of hanging and drape coefficient, Nodal length whereas a negative correlation exists with drape distance ratio. Poor correlation is seen with other parameters. These outcomes can be used to improve garment designing applications.
