“DEVELOPMENT OF NATURAL DYE WITH FRAGRANCE FINISHED PETTICOAT WITH BAMBOO/POLYESTER BLENDED WOVEN FABRIC”

The present study focus on the development of Petticoat with Bamboo/Polyester 30s and 40s count blended woven fabric. Natural dye was extract from Catechu powder applying mordant technique. Fragrance was given to the fabric by using Lavender oil by applying padding mangle method. Various parameters of the yarn properties, Fabric analysis properties: Ends per inch/ Picks per inch, Fabric Thickness, Fabric Weight, Tensile Strength, Abrasion Resistance, Bursting Strength, Stiffness, Crease Recovery, Wick Ability, Air Permeability, Water Drop Absorption, Water Vapor Permeability, Light fastness, Rubbing fastness tests were evaluated. Moreover the fabric quality was tested for washing property up to 20 washes and the quality of the fabric was assessed. Results revealed that the blending property of Bamboo/Polyester 30s and Bamboo/Polyester 40s count was good when compared to any other fibers. Further as an application part woven fabric was also designed for children (girls), which showed a good compatibility and dermally safe product. This study way for the usage of eco-friendly and dermatologically safe woven fabrics from Bamboo/Polyester 30sand Bamboo/Polyester 40s count.
