Fabrics have many names, such as weaving methods and processing methods. Some fabrics are hard to understand just by hearing the name.
Do you know all the trending fabrics for spring and summer?
When it comes to SS collections, cotton, linen, and rayon are probably the three most recommended materials.
It has excellent absorbency and breathability, and is widely used for T-shirts, shirts, tops, and pants.
Linen has a crisp, firm texture, can absorb sweat, and is breathable, making it ideal for summer items. Linen is also strong, so it can be used not only for clothing but also for bags.
It has a smooth texture with an autumn-like feel and feels cool to the touch. It also has high moisture absorbency, so it is a material recommended for shirt dresses and casual wear. These are all natural fibers and regenerated fibers, but in recent years, many polyester fabrics with moisture absorption, quick-drying, and cooling functions have been developed. While natural fibers have their advantages, synthetic fibers also offer many options in terms of added functionality. However, these three are only the basic fabric materials, and depending on the weave, the look and feel of the fabric can be completely different. So, do you know the weaves suitable for summer clothing? Can you tell them all apart? Let's take a look together!
Lawn is a thin, slightly sheer plain weave that is ideal for making shirts and blouses in spring and summer. Fine yarns of 60-100 count create a thin, delicate fabric with an elegant sheen. The name Lawn comes from a thin linen fabric originating from the French town of Lawn. The texture of this fabric was recreated in cotton, and it is now called lawn. Materials used include cotton, cotton-poly blends, and linen.

Voile gauze is a thin plain weave with a coarse weave and a sheer appearance. It uses highly twisted yarns, so the fabric is relatively firm and elastic. It is very breathable and has a cool texture, so it is recommended for summer shirts, blouses, and dresses. The word "voile" means the English word "veil" in French, referring to a thin cloth used to cover a woman's face or head. I'm sure everyone has heard of the "veil" in a wedding veil. Therefore, the name "voile" comes from this veil.

"Crepe" is a general term for plain-woven fabrics that use highly twisted yarns to create unique wrinkles (creases) on the fabric surface, like shrinkage. When highly twisted yarns are used in the weft and finished after weaving, the yarns try to recover their twist, creating wrinkles on the fabric surface. It is generally recommended for summer shawls, tops, and other summer garment fabrics. The term "crepe de chine" means fine wrinkles.

The warp threads are made of untwisted yarn, and the weft threads are made of highly twisted yarn.

Ripple cloth is a process that gives the surface of a fabric wave-like wrinkles and unevenness, and the fabric that has undergone ripple processing is called ripple cloth. It refers to a thin fabric such as cotton or rayon that has been treated with a sodium hydroxide solution to cause strong shrinkage, giving the fabric an uneven appearance. It is ideal for summer shirts, blouses, dresses, skirts, and more, because the area that touches the skin is small and it prevents the fabric from sticking to the body.

Seersucker is a fabric whose wavy wrinkles appear as stripes on the surface. It is often used for men's summer shirts, pants, sleepwear, and children's wear. Two yarns with different tensions are arranged in the warp, and fine wrinkles are created on the surface due to differences in shrinkage. Rippled fabrics also have an uneven surface, but the wrinkles are created by post-processing, whereas seersucker has a firmer texture.
