Abstract
Fabric drape is an important parameter for the aesthetic appearance of fabrics. It can be measured using Cusick's drape meter, where the drape coefficent is obtained with a laborious cut‐and‐weigh method. Presents a method using image analysis for measuring the drape coefficient. With this method, time dependence of the drape coefficient is investigated, and is expressed in a model. Using this model, the drape coefficient obtained with the cut‐and‐weigh method can be calculated.Keywords
