Abstract
Bending and shearing are fabric properties that are important for apparel drape and formability. Nonwovens typically have high resistance to shearing and bending resistance that is dependent on basis weight and thickness. In this study bending and shearing properties of nonwovens are measured and compared to those of a range of woven fabrics. Subjective evaluation of drape and formability is performed by apparel designers to assess their acceptance of nonwovens for specific construction and aesthetic features.
