Why does the fabric make a difference in fit? |
Both the way a fabric is knitted or woven and the fiber content can affect fit. Thick fabrics take up space and may make a garment feel smaller. Closely woven fabrics such as gabardine twill may not stretch much making the garment size more definite. Knit fabrics that are loose with space between yarns, tend to stretch out.
