Pure wool worsted fabric is a kind of high-grade suit fabric with 100% wool, which will look light and thin, and feel smooth and soft luster. The key is that this fabric is easy to recover after deformation, and basically there will be no crease. Pure wool worsted fabric is the best fabric in suit fabric, usually used in spring and summer suits. The disadvantage is that it is easy to pilling, not resistant to wear and tear, and easy to moth and mold.
The wool content of this fabric is also 100%, but the difference between woolen and worsted lies in the different textile forms. The woolen fabric will be thicker, and the worsted fabric will be more delicate and light. The pure wool slub fabric is soft to the touch, wide, and elastic. The fabric also belongs to the fine suit fabric, usually used for autumn and winter suits. But like pure wool worsted, it tends to pill and is not resistant to abrasion.
This kind of fabric has glitter on the surface in the sunlight and lacks the softness of pure wool fabric. The higher the polyester content, the more prominent the version of hard feeling is. But its advantage is that it is more elastic than pure wool fabric. There is almost no crease after holding the fabric tightly for a few seconds and releasing it. It also belongs to the more common mid-range suit fabric.
Wool and viscose or cotton blended fabric luster are relatively dull. The advantage of this type of fabric is that the fabric is relatively inexpensive.
Polyester and viscose blend is a fabric that has become popular in recent years. This fabric has a light texture and a smooth and textured surface. What’s more, the fabric has better wrinkle resistance, so it’s easier to maintain. The disadvantage is that it has poor warmth， making it the fabric for spring and summer suits.
In addition to the five fabrics mentioned above, cotton, linen, silk, etc. can also be used as suit fabrics. Of course, the most popular one is still wool.

All the dresses can order hangtags and clothes hangers from Clothinglabels.cn. Next, I will introduce several commonly used dress fabrics and their characteristics.
Real silk is made of silk as raw material. Everyone knows that silk is expensive and high-end material. So the price of silk dresses will also go up. However, silk fabrics are particularly good in terms of overall drape and comfort. It is ideal for personal work clothes. There is a silk fabric called dress satin. It is particularly suitable for the production of dresses or children’s clothing. The standing body of the dress is very strong. The overall shape is very atmospheric.
Chiffon is mostly used to make summer skirts. The fabric is light, breathable, and easy to dry after washing. But it will have a texture similar to flax. Chiffon fabric is beautiful and elegant. It is suitable for wedding dresses and dresses. Wearing a chiffon wedding dress at the wedding will be particularly aura.
Organza is mostly translucent yarn fabric. The organza fabric is light and breathable. It has a strong sense of wideness. Also. we can embroider the material. Fabric is often used as the lining of wedding dresses. After adding it, the wedding dress can spread out from all sides.
Net yarn is suitable for the design of wedding dresses and dresses. Net yarn can give people a sense of ambiguity. Of course, the net yarn is perfect for some girlish work clothes. Meanwhile, the fabric feels delicate.

Children’s clothing should be cleaned with a special detergent for their clothing, which protects the baby’s body, and not harms the skin, or cause allergies. Another is that the amount of use must be cleaned according to the washing instructions marked on the product. Such as the dilution ratio, soaking time, the number of times of using water, and so on.
Clothes should be washed or necessary cleaning treatments should be carried out before storage, and they should be fully dried. High-end children’s clothing and outerwear should be hung on the hanger for storage. One-piece children’s clothing can choose a shoulder hanger to ensure sufficient support for the shoulder. Small shirts can be folded and stacked according to the packaging. However, the collar area should not be compressed; other clothing should also be folded and laid flat, and must not be stacked at will.
children’s clothing and overcoats are mostly made of medium and high-end fabrics. Some of them are pure wool fabrics. After wearing this kind of fabric for a period of time, some parts of the clothing labels will be deformed due to excessive tension. It can be restored to its original state after proper ventilation and hanging to dry.
Frequent dusting of children’s clothing is a necessary part of maintaining children’s clothing. Dust will make children’s clothing lose its fresh color, so you must often use a brush to remove the dust on children’s clothing. If it is stained with hair or other fibers, you can use tape to remove it.
Wholesalers remind high-end children’s clothing, especially the pockets of jackets, which are generally decorative. It is not suitable to put too many and heavy sundries in them. Frequent handling of these sundries will deform the children’s clothing and affect the wearing effect. The newly-purchased clothes pockets are sealed with seams. Try not to fold the seams. This is more conducive to maintaining the style of children’s clothing.
Children’s clothing that has been worn for a long time is prone to light on the elbows, hips and knees. When removing this kind of light, you can drop a little vinegar in clean water. After dampening the towel, wipe the shiny part with the towel in one direction to remove the light. When ironing clothes, you should put a layer of cloth on the clothes. It is best to have a pure cotton texture, which can prevent children’s clothes from being ironed and changing color or producing light.
