Answer» Three type of grains: 1. Length wise grain (straight grain)- It is oriented parallel with the warp threads and selvedge. This grain has very less stretch 2. Cross grain- cross grain runs perpendicular to selvedge. It has more stretch than straight grain. 3. Bias- It is at 45° to its warp and weft threads. Bias fabric have maximum stretch garments made on Bias have stretchability, graceful folds and drape The various components of garments are cut according in the style, fit & design detail of garments. Lengths of the garments are cut length wise grain, bands cuffs collars are cut on cross wise grain. Some sleeves are cut bias flared styles are cut on bias. Some design detail are finished with shaped facing or bias facing. So in this way as per grain requirement of style affect the fabric estimation. |
