| SECTION III: |
| QUALITY STANDARDS FOR TEXTILE USAGE |
| |
This section recognizes and identifies the standards for quality in textile
usage that give a garment a professional, finished look. These standards
address how a fabric functions and appears in a finished garment. They do
not address quality standards for individual textile fibers (cotton, silk, linen,
polyester, etc.), fabric structures (woven, knit, non-woven, etc.), or finishes
(even coloration, aligned print, etc.). Appropriate selection, handling and
usage of fabric during all the stages of a garment's construction should
produce a quality professional garment. |
| |
| SELECTION OF FABRIC |
1. The fabric is compatible with the intended design and use. It has been
examined for appropriate fiber content, hand, weight, texture, drape,
transparency, weave and shape retention. |
2. The supporting fabrics (underlining, interlining, interfacing, lining,
stay tape and trims) are compatible with the intended design and care
of the garment. |
| 3. Woven fabric has lengthwise and crosswise threads at right angles. |
4. Knit fabric ribs are parallel to the edges and at right angles to the
horizontal rows on the wrong side of the fabric. |
5. The fabric has been checked for flaws (unwanted dubs, printing
errors, permanent wrinkles, snags, runs and fading). Any existing
flaws are assessed and worked out of the design. |
| |
| CUTTING |
1. The fabric and all supporting fabrics have been appropriately
preshrunk, hand washed, machine washed and dried, steamed or dry
cleaned. |
| 2. The fabric grain has been straightened, if necessary. |
3. The garment is cut on the appropriate grain (or yarn direction), so that
it hangs as the garment was designed. |
4. Plaids, stripes and printed designs on the fabric match, in so far as
possible, resulting from correct placement of the pattern pieces. |
| 5. The garment is cut with consistent nap, unless designed otherwise.
