Properties of Ideal Fusible Interlinings for Worsted Formal Wear
Abstract
In principal, the most compatible fusible interlining differs for different outer fabrics. However, in order to avoid handling different types of fusible interlinings during gannent manufacture, practically it is desirable to have a fusible interlining suitable for a wide range of outer fabrics. An ideal fusible interlining is therefore defined in this paper as the one which is suitable for the majority of a certain range of commercial fabrics. Based on the property range of worsted fonnal wear fabrics, the compatibility requirements of outer and fusible interlining fabrics in tailored gannents, the property range of ideal fusible interlinings for foreparts of tailored gannents using worsted fonnal wear fabrics is derived in the paper. The results of the paper provides guidelines for the development and selection of fusible interlinings.
