In order to help the designer predict the style for the fabric and preview the 3D profile or formability of the designed garment. Based on a large number of experiments, a database was made that establishes the relationship between a fabric's mechanical properties and clothing style. The computer completes the clothing style recommendation then displays a picture on the computer monitor. The designer can decide whether to use the design for production, depending on its appearance and the predicted data such as the fabric's handle.
