Determining the Quality and Suitability of the Fabric

There are simple tests that you can perform on samples of fabrics that will help you
determine their qualities and suitability to your purpose.
1. Test by Thumb
Determine the strength and shape-holding qualities both lengthwise and crosswise
of fabrics. With both hands, grasp a sample between your thumbs and forefingers.
Stretch the fabric by moving your hands back so that the thumbs separate and the
fingernails push together.
2. Test by Pin
Determine slippage of threads. Pin a small tuck in a sample. Pull on the fabric from
both sides of the tuck, working back and forth as you pull. If the fabric tears or
pulls away from the pin it would probably pull at the seams
3. Test for Sizing
Determine whether stiffening has been added to give a more closely woven look and
firmer feel. Rub the fabric between your hands; observe whether a powder-like dust
falls out indicating stiffening added.
4. Test for Straight of Grain
Examine fabrics to determine whether the fabric grain will need to be straightened.
At one end of the fabric, observe whether lengthwise and crosswise threads are at
right angles to each other.
5. Test for Wrinkle Resistant
Crumple a corner of the fabric; release it, and note the degree of wrinkling in it.
6. Test for Ability to Take Pleats
Fold the fabric crosswise or lengthwise; press with your hands. Note whether pleats
remain or fall out.

1. Make an album of the different kinds of fabric. Identify each fabric.

Styles of Skirt

Skirt is a free hanging part of an outer garment or undergarment extending from

the waist down to a particular length of the garment. Ladies skirts are of different
styles, types and shapes. The names of the skirt signify its shape or design. They
are worn to cover the lower part of the body. A dressmaker can make any style and
design on the skirt in different ways based on the figure of the client. However, be
careful in wearing skirt which are only suitable for some specific blouses or tops.
There are few basic categories of styles of skirt.

1. Straight skirt - referred to as a pencil skirt, this skirt is a straight line with no
flare or fullness at the hem or waistline. It is a slim-fitting skirt with a straight,
narrow cut line.
a. Short Straight Skirt is a skirt style just above the knee and it gives a
flattering effect to the wearer. However, there are super short straight
skirt such as the micro-mini, which are becoming to those who have
slim and long- legged figures.
b. Long Straight Skirt is best when they end to the part of the legs that
begins to taper.
2. A-Line/ Flared Skirt is a skirt fuller at the hem than at the waist and probably
the best style for most women. Its silhouette is narrower at the top, flaring gently
wider toward the bottom thereby resembling the letter A.
It may be fitted at the waist, high hip, and full hip. It works well on women with
small waist and good for those with full-hipped figures.
3. Gored Skirt is a style of skirt consists of four, six, eight or more gores shaped to
flare from waist to hem. This is very classic, and is always in fashion. It’s one of the
most flattering styles. Its vertical lines create an illusion of height and slimness. A
gored skirt can be either straight or Aline, depending on the contours of the gores.
For a slim woman, a gored style which is fitted at the waist and hips and flares at
the hem line is best suited. While A-line is best for you, if the skirt with gores flare
from waist or high hip which is emphasized by the shaped and curvy gores.
4. Pleated/ Tucked Skirt is a type of skirt which has pleats that create refined
vertical line while softening the figure. Skirt with all around pleats are best for slim,
narrow-hipped figures.
a. A Box pleated skirt – a double pleat having two upper folds facing in
opposite directions and two under folds pressed toward each other.
b. Fix box pleated skirt- a flat double pleat made by folding under the
fabric on either side of it.
c. Knife pleated skirt- a sharply creased narrow pleat, usually one of a
series folded in the same direction.
d. Accordion pleated skirt- a series of narrow, evenly spaced parallel
pleats with alternating raised and recessed folds set into skirt usually by
a commercial pleating machine.
5. Gathered Skirt usually gathers at the waist and visually adds weight and
bulk to any figure.

a. Sheath - a figure-hugging dress with a narrow tapering skirt

b. Pant skirt- a long skirt that resembles the style of pants.
c. Semi-circular skirt – skirt made half the amount of fabric used in circular skirt.
d. Circular skirt - Skirt made in circular shape, often by use of gores, and hanging
in unbroken ripples from waist to hem; also made from a fabric circle.
e. Buttoned straight skirt – long skirt with buttons down at the center.
f. Sarong- a loose-fitting skirt like garment formed by wrapping a strip of cloth
around the lower part of the body, worn by both men and women in the Malay
Archipelago and certain islands of the Pacific Ocean.
g. Peplum skirt - is a short, gathered, slightly flared strip of fabric attached at the
waist of a woman’s blouse, jacket, skirt or dress.
h. Wrap around skirt – a skirt made to fold around or across the body so that one
side of the garment overlaps the other forming the closure.
i. Suit skirt – a skirt that comes along with a suit.
j. Flounced skirt – a skirt consisting of a strip gathered and sewed on by its upper
edge around the skirt, and left hanging.

usually used as a semi-gown skirt.
