Abstract

Denim is the term which conquers the modern world with spectacular fashion appeal. Previously the denim cloth was hardly found as fashionable wear however, it is the more common item in modern fashion trend. So, the diversification of denim fabric is the crucial demand of apparel industry. A numerous attempt especially washing treatment has been carried out in order to make denim fabrics more attractive and fashionable however, those are resulting fabric the strength and serviceability reduction. Six different decorative weaves were designed by using point carre software and 100% cotton denim fabrics were produced with same specification by using dobby loom. Visual appearance, tear strength, tensile strength, oz/yd2, shrinkage% and spirality% of decorative denim are examined and compared with the conventional denim fabric manufactured with same specification. Visual appearance of decorative denim is so attractive after performing only normal wash. The tear strength and fabric weight (oz/yd2) of decorative denim is higher than conventional denim without some exception. The tensile strength of decorative & conventional denim is more or less same. However, due to the loose structure and long float of weave, decorative denim shows higher shrinkage% and spirality%.
