INSILENCEIN-16

What does the 'seam slippage phenomenon' mentioned in the skirt description mean?

While reading the skirt product guide, I saw a warning notice that the seam area may experience slippage. I am asking this question because I want to know exactly what this phenomenon is and why it occurs.

hmmm editorial answer

Slippage is a phenomenon where threads are pushed aside and gaps open up at the seams when force is applied to the fabric, and it mainly appears in flexible, smooth, and thin fabrics.

Slippage refers to a phenomenon where the threads weaving the fabric are pushed to the side and gaps appear around the stitch lines when force is applied to the garment. Unlike damage where the fabric itself tears, this occurs because the yarns slide to both sides and pull apart, and the smoother and thinner the fiber surface is, the less friction it has, making it easier for threads to slip.

The MOUSSY Rever Wrap Skirt sold on the INSILENCE mall uses a blend fabric of 87% Lyocell and 13% Nylon as the outer shell^[1]. While the characteristic smooth touch and light, flowing drape of Lyocell stand out, due to the nature of the fabric, a phenomenon where the seam areas slip and pull apart can occur when force is applied^[2].

When a stride widens, such as when sitting down or climbing stairs, strong pulling on the hem of the skirt can concentrate force on the seam lines, so it is safer to wear it with some ease. In addition, this product must be cared for by dry cleaning to prevent yarns from twisting or the fabric from being damaged during the washing process^[3].
