Excerpt from Dress, Blouse, and Costume Cloths: Design and Fabric Manufacture
The design and manufacture of dress, blouse and costume cloths comprise phases of textile technology obtaining in the different sections of the spinning and weaving industries. Dress goods are, for instance, made of materials and yarns which constitute the staple woven products of the silk, artificial silk, cotton, linen, worsted and woollen trades, but adapted in weaving practice to the construction of light varieties of fabric. Such goods form, as a result of these conditions, a unique and distinct description of textile manu facture, one which imposes on the producer a knowledge of the technology of each of these trades, in addition to a know ledge of fabric design, tinting, and finishing applicable to dress, costume, and blouse cloths.
In view of these salient features of the subject it has been sought in this work to interpret (1) the commercial and indus trial aspects oi the trade (2) the nature, structure and the qualities of the yarns employed; (3) the weaving principles involved (4) the design and colour schemes elaborated and (5) the systems of fabric build and manufacture practised.
