Question

High drape coefficient of fabric indicates:

• A. soft fabric
• B. flexible fabric
• C. stiff fabric
• D. low strength fabric

Hint:

A high drape coefficient is undesirable in garments requiring fluid movement. It is an indicator of stiffness.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding Drape Coefficient.
Drape coefficient is a numerical value between 0 and 1 (or 0% to 100%), indicating the extent to which a fabric resists draping.

Higher drape coefficient ⇒ less drape ⇒ stiffer fabric.

Step 2: Interpretation.
A low drape coefficient means the fabric is soft and flows easily.
A high drape coefficient means the fabric is stiff and resists forming folds.
