@anniecd :)
Annette Christmas Aug 17, 2016:
it all depends This could mean the end of an era in certain contexts - or is it just technical about fabric?
JohnMcDove Aug 17, 2016:
@ Cristina, there must be some contextual information you can provide. Ortega y Gasset said something like "yo soy yo y mis circunstancias"..., well, "phrase is a phrase and its context determines the meaning and usages..." "There should be no pretext to provide some kind of context"...

Drape

Drape is the term used to describe the way a fabric hangs under its own weight. It has an important bearing on how good a garment looks in use. The draping qualities required from a fabric will differ completely depending on its end use, therefore a given value for drape cannot be classified as either good or bad. Knitted fabrics are relatively floppy and garments made from them will tend to follow the body contours. Woven fabrics are relatively stiff when compared with knitted fabrics so that they are used in tailored clothing where the fabric hangs away from the body and disguises its contours. Measurement of a fabric s drape is meant to assess its ability to do this and also its ability to hang in graceful curves.

Gracias Johncito :-)
agree Robert Carter : Exactly this, Lorena. I was going to answer "hang of the fabric/cloth", because drape hadn't occurred to me. http://forum.wordreference.com/threads/le-tombé-dun-tissu.16...
