Book excerpt: Excerpt from Textile Fabrics, Wearing Apparel, and Accessories This is one of the largest and most important industries in the world, and perhaps the one which interests humanity to a greater degree than any other; it is in fact the dominion of King Cotton. The applications of cotton seem unlimited; it forms the basis of such a vast variety of trades, all of which manufacture for'the mil lion; for as cotton fabrics are the cheapest of all textiles, they are adopted as coverings by hundreds of millions of human beings. Grays, bleached goods, dyed and printed calicoes play an important part in every climate, either as garments or drapery. Considerable progress has been made in the weaving and printing of cotton fabrics. As fast as cotton makes its way, flax is driven out of the market. Cotton is continually pushing linen out, for al though the latter is more durable, it is dearer, and so is obliged to make way for the lower priced article this battle is always going on, slowly but surely. It is made up in widths ranging from centimetres to 3 metres, the wide widths being for sheets. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Textiles and Costume Design Classic Reprint written by Evelyn Peters Ellsworth and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-06 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from d104iles and Costume Design Indeed, ermine is a striking example of a misused accessory in a costume. It is fascinating, because it conjures up visions of royal personages, knights and ladies. The laws of the Middle Ages (edward III) required that it be worn only by nobles, and to-day in Europe ermine is worn on state robes; the rank and position of the wearer is in many cases indicated by its presence or absence and the disposition of the black spots, and when worn in crowns or coronets it is a recognition of heraldry. Therefore, at all times it should be reserved for state occasions or worn for mally with certain royally textured and dignified clothes and fabrics, just as velvets and satins are reserved for formal gowns and not for kitchen or garden work, just as large velvet hats are not worn in the morning with workaday clothes or short skirts, and just as royally plumed, large velvet hats are suited only to formal afternoon or evening gowns of velvet or satin. Much might be written upon this subject of good taste and imagination in the wearing of clothes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from d104ile Fabrics Under its widest acceptation the word textile means every kind of stuff, no matter its material, wrought in the loom. Whether, therefore, the threads are spun from the produce of the animal, vegetable, or mineral kingdom whether of sheep's wool, goats' hair, camels' wool, or camels' hair 3 whether of flax, hemp, mallow, or the filaments drawn out of the leaves of plants of the lily and asphodel tribes of flowers, or the fibrous coating about pods, or cotton; whether of gold, silver, or of any other metal the webs from all such materials are textiles. Unlike these are other appliances for garmwt-making in many countries; and of such materials not the least curious, if not odd to our ideas, is paper, which is so much employed for the purpose by the Japanese. A careful reference to a map of the world will show us the materials which from the earliest ages the inhabitants of the world had at hand, in every clime, for making articles of dress. In all the colder regions the well-furred skins of several families of beasts could, by the ready help of a thorn for a needle and of the animal's own sinews for thread, be fashioned after a manner into various kinds of clothing.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from d104iles: A Handbook for the Student and the Consumer The growing emphasis upon textile study in college depart ments of home economics or household arts, and the increasing use of the textile industry as teaching material in other depart ments and other grades of schools, shows a recognition of the part that the textiles are playing in the development of civiliza tion and in our everyday life.

Download or read book Sizing in Clothing written by S Ashdown and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2007-04-11 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The basic concepts behind sizing systems currently used in the manufacture of ready-to-wear garments were originally developed in the 19th century. These systems are frequently based on outdated anthropometric data, they lack standard labelling, and they generally do not accommodate the wide variations of body sizes and proportions that exist in the population. However, major technological improvements have made new population data available worldwide, with the potential to affect the future of sizing in many ways. New developments in computer-aided design and sophisticated mathematical and statistical methods of categorizing different body shapes can also contribute to the development of more effective sizing systems. This important book provides a critical appreciation of the key technological and scientific developments in sizing and their application. The first chapter in the book discusses the history of sizing systems and how this has affected the mass production of ready-to-wear clothing. Chapters two and three review methods for constructing new and adapting existing sizing systems, and the standardisation of national and international sizing systems. Marketing and fit models are reviewed in chapter four whilst chapter five presents an analysis of the grading process used to create size sets. Chapters six and seven discuss fit and sizing strategies in relation to function, and the communication of sizing. Mass customization and a discussion of material properties and their affect on sizing are addressed in chapters eight and nine. Military sizing and the aesthetics of sizing are detailed in chapters ten and eleven. The final chapter reviews the impact on sizing of production systems and specifications. Written by an international team of contributors, this book is an essential reference to researchers, designers, students and manufacturers in the clothing and fashion industry. Provides a critical appreciation of key technological and scientific developments in sizing and their application Discusses how developments in sizing affect the mass production of ready to wear clothing Reviews methods of constructing new and adapting existing sizing systems

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Textiles: A Bird's-Eye View of the History, of the Beginning and the Growth of the Industry, by Which Mankind Is Clothed As clothing has from time immemorial been one of man's necessities and almost as essential to his Welfare as food, it is not surprising that the textile industry has long in value of output been second only to the production of food stuffs. Important, however, as the industry is, its history, so far as the writer knows, has never, at least in America, been published. Aside from its importance the industry possesses much of interest not only for the student, but also for the man of affairs. Different branches of the industry, such as wool, silk, cotton, and linen, have been treated separately, but nothing has been written about the origin and growth of the industry as a Whole.

Download or read book Thrift Clothing Classic Reprint written by Anna Hedges Talbot and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-08-16 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thrift Clothing A contribution can be made by every girl and woman who knows how to sew if they will make the effort to conserve the supply of textiles and other clothing materials by seeing the possibilities in the outgrown or partly worn garments now hanging in closets or stored away. The following suggestions about made-over garments are given with the idea of thrift and economy in view, whereby the supply of new clothing material may be released for the service of those who necessarily must have strong, warm and new material. Sewing classes in schools now have the chance, while the enthusiasm for thrift is in the air, to learn to cut by pattern with the added interest of shaping the result into a new article from that which otherwise would be discarded. Cleansing, repairing, remodel ling may have the interest of becoming almost a game, the goal of which is to attain new garments from old ones by plotting, planning, twisting and turning until the old yields the new in form and purpose. Hats, cloaks, dresses, men's coats, trousers, overcoats, knit underwear, with accessories such as tape, linings, buttons, hooks and eyes, ribbons, pieces of silk, velvet, cotton goods, buckles, may all contri bute to new shapes and designs under the manipula tion of fingers in training, directed by the ingenuity of teachers who are stimulated to their best efforts by the present emergency.
