Abstract
Discussion of dimensional stability as it affects tailored garments of woven wool fabrics. Four types of shrinkage are described: relaxation shrinkage, hygral expansion, locked press, and fusing press shrinkage. Theoretical aspects, practical implications for the finisher and manufacturer, and quality control of dimensional stability are discussed. See also AATA 17-1296 for another version of this paper. -- AATA
