Mannequin marking terms: 1.   SH-shoulder line 2.   NB-neck band 3.   Armhole/Armscye 4.   PL-princess line 5.   Apex/BP-bust point 6.   BL-bust line 7.   CF-center front 8.   SS-side seam 9.   WL-waistline 10.   HBL-Horizontal balance line 11.

  TEXURISATION      Texturisation is the process by which flat filaments are distorted to have crimps, coils, curls or loops along their length to achieve bulk and greater absorbency. Basic principal of texturisation: Texturisation is performed in three steps: To heat the yarn plastic condition. To impart the required shape of filament. To cool it to retain the shape. Advantage: Crease resistance. Better appearance. Higher absorbency and better perspiration conductivity. Better air permeability. More flexible. Disadvantage: Decrease abrasion resistance. Creates hairiness of fiber. Create problem in laundering. Process of texturisation: In the texturing processes, a continuous filament (cf) yarn has to undergo a major change in its physical form, by becoming crimped. Coiled or looped along its lengths. Only multi filament cf yarns are suitable for texturing. There are various methods that...
