Some basic knowledge for fashion beginners, let's get to know about grain and dress form!
Warp: vertical yarns, lengthwise grain
Weft: horizontal yarns, crosswise grain
Grainline: is the warp direction of the textile. Shows "up and down"
Cross grain: is the weft or horizontal direction of the textile
Selvage: is the woven edge of the textile which is parallel to the warp. This edge can keep the fabric from fraying.
Bias: is a 45 degree angle across the warp and weft. The bias is the most stretch direction that often used in apparel to create body fit and stretch.
