The following will briefly explain the fabric's weave, texture, weight, and wearing performance.
1. Weaving method: Fabrics include woven fabrics and knitted fabrics. Most of our garments are woven fabrics. Common woven fabrics include plain weave and twill weave, which refers to the structure of the fabric that the yarns are woven vertically and horizontally. , It is related to the texture, reorganization and feel of the fabric.

Such as: smooth and shiny cotton cloth, soft and light yarn, etc. An original cosplay dress attaches great importance to texture, so be careful when choosing fabrics and discuss cutting methods and materials with the tailor.
3. Weight: The weight of the fabric usually refers to G/M, (how many grams per meter). Needless to say, if you want a more elegant effect, you must choose a lighter fabric, and vice versa. For example, outer jackets, skirts, pants, etc. mostly use heavier body fabrics, while shirts use lighter fabrics. In addition, the fabrics are also closely related to the season.

4. Wearing and cleaning performance: Wearing performance refers to whether the clothes are durable, and cleaning performance refers to whether the clothes can be changed by machine or need to be washed by hand or dry cleaned. This is very important for everyday clothes, but for cosplay clothes, it can be ignored in general. Sometimes in order to achieve the original BT effect, it is necessary to use very troublesome fabrics, and the clothes are not worn frequently, which will sacrifice the wearability and the convenience of cleaning.
