In the past studies authors have clarified the effects of composition method and drape quantity of flared skirt, cowl neck collar and draped skirt as well as mechanical properties of cloth on silhouettes.
Authors have noticed curtain as a cloth product of a large area, and intends in this study to grasp the ranges of mechanical properties of cloth which forms beautiful drape of a curtain. In order to examine factors affecting the appearance beauty of a curtain, curtains were made with four kinds of cloth with different mechanical properties, and visual sensory test was carried out. Factor analysis using the evaluated values obtained by sensory test extracted two factors in impression
forming of curtains. A relationship of 3 √BS/W and BP in the bias direction as mechanical quantity parameters with visual
beauty of curtain was confirmed. Change of visual evaluation by difference of sample area was also confirmed through comparison with the evaluation result of draped skirt.
