Dynamic drape is the unique property that allows the fabric to be bent in multiple directions. Silk fabric has good hand feeling and draping property. In this paper, we select 15 kinds of silk fabrics to measure its structural, mechanical and draping parameters for studying the impact factors of dynamic draping property about silk fabric. We make a correlation analysis with the measured fabric parameters then obtain the factors sequence that affects silk fabric's dynamic draping property. Experimental result shows that the draping property of silk fabric is affected by many performance parameters. In particular, the latitudinal tensile property has the greatest influence among all these parameters.
