Process Overview:
Crinkling fabric technology is a technique used to create permanent textured effects, such as wrinkles, pleats, or puckers, on textiles. This is achieved through mechanical treatments, chemical finishes, or heat-setting processes, depending on the fabric type. The method enhances the visual appeal and hand feel of the fabric while maintaining flexibility and durability.

Advantages and Limitations:
Crinkled fabrics provide a unique aesthetic with texture and dimension, adding style and character to garments and textiles. Advantages include low-maintenance fabrics that retain texture without ironing and versatility in fashion design. Limitations include potential shrinkage during washing, variations in texture uniformity, and suitability mainly for fabrics that can withstand the crinkling process, such as cotton, polyester, silk, and blends.

Ideal Applications:

• Cotton: blouses, casual dresses, skirts

• Silk: scarves, evening dresses, tunics

• Polyester / Blended fabrics: tops, pleated skirts, lightweight jackets
