Drape is a very important property of fabric, it plays major role in aesthetic appeal of fabric particularly when used as skir

Drape is one of the most important fabric properties from designer as well as end user point of view. The standard method of drape measurement is as per IS 8357:1977. This can be classified as static drape. In today‟s scenario, across all the areas, advancement of technology is remarkable. There is little doubt that the influence of technology has overtaken our lives. In the manufacturing field, technology solves a number of problems related to design, production and dispatching of products, providing the consumer with either low cost or large varieties of enhanced, sophisticated or unique products depending on the direction and philosophy of the company and its marketing strategy. One has to learn to co-exist with technology so are industries and it is not who will use the technology to combat competition in the world of markets of the future that is crucial, but rather who will develop new technologies to stay competitive. Dynamic drape behavior and simulations are gaining more and more popularity day by day. It is so, because it gives to some extent close to real life situation. Many research worker in abroad are working on the same since last decade, but unfortunately very few information, particularly data base information are available here. No readymade instrument is available here to study the dynamic drape behaviour of fabric. Keyword:drape, static drape, dynamic drape, instrument, simulation
