New methods including new drape parameters were proposed for measuring drape of fabric in the present research work. The various research workers were of the opinion that using flat fabric methods do not accurately reflect fabric and garment drape. Thus this work avoided the usual cumbersome methods of assessment of projected drape area (including image analysis techniques) and replaced with a new geometrical analysis technique of constructing Drape polygon. A new non - power operated instrument (drape and stiffness tester - DST) for measuring static drape along with fabric stiffness and with retro - fitted electric power and measuring electronic devices for dynamic drape were covered under the present investigation.
