What Impacts the Draping Behavior of Fabric Lace Material

We probably don’t give much thought to fabric, but many factors can influence how it hangs. The kinds of fabrics that are reputed for their drape is lace. Lace is a lovely, thin fabric often used in clothing, curtains, and other decorations. But what factors in to how lace hangs and moves? Let’s see some of the factors that drive how lace fabric drapes.

Benefits 

How the lace is woven and its thickness makes a difference in how it drapes. The weave is the way strands of thread are arranged to create the fabric. It’ll drape a bit more softly if the lace weave is looser and more open. The tighter and thicker the weave, the more the lace holds it shape and the stiffer it hangs. Thickness of the lace matters too. Heavy lace (thicker lace) doesn't move as much, and light lace (thinner lace) moves very well.

The weight and density of the lace can also influence how it drapes and moves. Light or thin lace will also hang softly and look fragile. Conversely, heavier and sturdier lace will hang heavier and appear more substantial. The heavier your lace is the less it will move, and the lighter your lace is the more it will sway.

The type of fiber in the lace has an impact on how flexible and how it drapes. The fibers might be natural, like cotton or silk, or synthetic, like polyester or nylon. Natural fibers that drape well are often more flexible, and synthetic is stiffer. Natural fibers will drape better to the body than synthetic ones might.

Advantages 

The manner in which the lace is construced can also shape how it drapes. How it’s made — from the stitches used to the fabric’s design — matters. The beautiful stitching will drape well and look luxurious on your lace. Though if the lace is poorly made or a simple pattern, it can hang stiffly.

The drape of the lace fabric also slides according to its finish and texture. The finish comprises any process performed on the fabric for which the treatments have been applied, such as dyeing. A smooth finish makes lace drape better and feel nicer on your skin. The texture can alter how a lace looks when draped — a lace with a texture built in might give it an interesting look, but a smooth lace looks smooth.
