Creasing / Non-creasing fabrics

All cloths will crease to a certain degree but some qualities crease less easily than others. There are several natural factors governing the crease resistance of a cloth in the form of a garment. These examples are a generalisation and are all properties within each and every cloth.

  • The raw material. Some materials have the ability to flex more readily than others. i.e. wool versus polyester. Polyester will come back into place more readily than wool under the same conditions of force.
  • The construction. The weave and firmness of the cloth plays an important part in the pliability of the cloth. A firm cloth results in less creases and better crease resistance. Plain weave cloths can crease easily, but have good recovery. A loosely constructed cloth will crease readily and hold the creases until further treatment is applied to remove them.
  • Fabric finish. A cloth that has a brushed (overcoating) or milled finish (flannel) is less likely to crease than a clear cut worsted suiting cloth. This is substantially due to its more compact construction (see 2.) and it’s larger surface area.

    Some extra useful hints

    Cleaning

  • It is always necessary to consult the cleaning instructions of each garment and have the work carried out by a renowned company.
  • Pockets, lapels and collars should be brushed frequently.
  • Never rub a stain. Dab it gently in order not to damage the surface.
  • Crumpled garments recover better in a humid environment. Hang them somewhere warm and damp, e.g. in a bathroom, or vaporise them lightly with water.Travel
  • Remove the jacket when seated, this is the main cause for creasing.
  • Lay, or better still hang the jacket.Change of suit
  • Garments should be changed each day. 2 days in concession can already be too much. The fibres and the shape of the garment need a rest.
  • After wearing the jacket always hang on a substantial hanger that supports the shoulders, placing the trousers in a press, overnight should be sufficient.
    • Storage

    • A garment requires a certain amount of space to breathe at all times. In the wardrobe leave a distance around the garment to breath and recover.
    • Never store garments e.g. dirty seasonal garments that are soiled.

Dress code – business suit for womens



Dress code – business suit «Dress code – business suit»! This phrase caught me off guard! Cannot say that I never wore business suits. About 10 years ago it was the strength of my wardrobe. But now somewhere in the closet hangs a lonely gray suit, he is in good condition, because the dressing a few times, if you have to shake off the dust, so it will be like brand new!

But now seriously. I am somewhat puzzled by Theme business suit. And do not lack thereof, but rather the question «What is today a fashionable business suit, how and with what he wear? Studied a lot of information about women’s business fashion, has found useful for itself and is ready to share it with the ladies, for whom this issue is relevant.

A very important point: the clothes may be as a means of success, as well as a substantial obstacle in achieving the goal. To make your costume was your friend should pay attention to some rules. .

Subordination. If you are looking for a costume for daily visits to the office, it’s worth noting that in some places is considered unseemly, if you wear more than their boss or less of their subordinate. In order to properly look and feel normal, do not fall outside the scope of the organization’s price range – a business suit can be expensive, but is not obligated to cause stupor, half the office.

Fabrics. Direct from expensive tweed skirt adjusts to a long and fruitful work, the same skirt, but because of the atlas, produces radically different effects – proposes to go have fun with the sequel. The more your company and the higher your position, the less synthetic should be in your clothes. And especially avoid fabrics that are easy to rumple – by the end of the day you will make messy impression. Shape – square, triangle (base of the triangle at the top), trapezoidal (truncated below).. Business things are more spacious and free, than a strictly classical.

Color business suit, as a rule, reserved, self-colored. For the business of clothing best suited for dark blue, brown, dark gray, black, gray-green. Permissible and lighter shades of gray, cream, beige color. Some designers say that the office allowed the bright colors, but better play it safe. There is one important detail … accessories – belt, jewelry, watches and handbags. Looking necessarily because they are a little revive suit business woman, but do not overdo it! Business suit is not the territory, where it is appropriate to transform itself into a Christmas tree.

Do not forget about some of the prejudices. For example, your customers may not understand women’s pantsuits. The absolute taboo: mini, maxi, socks, shirts, t-shirts, sundresses, sandals, slippers of all kinds, shorts, long earrings, huge fake stones, translucent fabric. And finally the universal advice: if you have studied that cool and relevant, and suggest that they wear, but still cannot decide, preferring strictly classical, even a little conservative clothing.
