Advantages: good sweat absorption, heat conduction and air permeability. Disadvantages: not soft and comfortable to wear, easy to wrinkle, rough and stiff appearance. Satin features: luster, smoothness, good hand feeling, good air permeability, lightness, many patterns and elegance. Silk is the general name of all kinds of silk fabrics woven from silk. Like cotton cloth, it has many varieties. Advantages: thin, fit, soft, smooth, breathable, colorful, shiny, elegant and comfortable to wear. Disadvantages: easy to wrinkle, easy to absorb, not strong enough, fast fading. Wool fabric, also called wool fabric, is the general name of all kinds of fabrics made of wool and cashmere. Usually used to make formal and high-grade clothes such as dresses, suits and coats. Advantages: anti-wrinkle, wear-resistant, soft to the touch, elegant and crisp, elastic and warm.

Advantages: bright colors, soft texture, stiff overhang, smooth and comfortable. Disadvantages: poor wear resistance, heat resistance, hygroscopicity and air permeability, easy to deform when heated and easy to generate static electricity. Although it can be used to make all kinds of clothes, the overall grade is not high, and the clothes made do not feel good. Blending is a fabric made by mixing natural fibers and chemical fibers in a certain proportion. Its advantage is that it not only absorbs the respective advantages of cotton, hemp, silk, wool and chemical fiber, but also avoids their respective disadvantages as much as possible, so it is very popular.
Introduction of 8 Common Cost Fabrics
Emperor Kadan, a lot of cos clothing materials. Advantages: hard, thick and stiff, not easy to discount. Disadvantages: heavy, airtight, poor texture, once dirty, it is difficult to clean. Personal evaluation: the name is cool, but it's actually twill. Advantages of uniform: hard, thick and stiff, lighter than Emperor Kadan. Disadvantages: it is difficult to level off after discount, and it is difficult to clean once it is dirty. Personal evaluation: it is close to the name of woolen cloth, but it is still cloth in essence. Advantages of brocade: gorgeous, noble and rich in patterns. Disadvantages: A lot of brocade nylon brocade used in cos costume looks ok, but don't go into the water. Personal evaluation: don't think that brocade is expensive. Nylon brocade is a few dollars a meter. Better silk brocade, the base material is silk, and the woven flower is chemical fiber; Silk brocade is rare, usually several hundred per meter. The same pattern may include nylon brocade, silk brocade and all-silk brocade, which depends on your own eyes and the conscience of the merchants. Brocade is recommended for wrapping, false collar and headdress props. For the upper body, I recommend jacquard cotton cloth! I don't know why this is cotton cloth, but it doesn't shrink. I washed it ~ this one has a great effect on the stage, and the jacquard on that one is very bright and looks gorgeous ~ Brocade and the like are weak in front of jacquard cotton, which is my super experience! The really good brocade is soft brocade, which will be hardened in less than half a semester ~ Then the clothes made by Mao Mao look so old! But good brocade is also very expensive, mainly because the width is too narrow! 75, it is more expensive to use! I don't recommend brocade on stage at all! It's gray. It really doesn't work. Brocade is mostly small lines, so it is the background color of the stage and no lines can be seen. Jacquard cotton will fade, so be careful when washing it ~ Be careful about ancient clothes with too complicated colors, but some of them are still very bright. Advantages of wedding satin: many advanced cos dresses are used, which are gorgeous, elegant, good in texture and easy to shape. Easy to manage. Disadvantages: airtight, easy to wire drawing. Personal evaluation: In fact, it is also a kind of imitation satin. Although the quality is good, it is not as expensive as claimed. Advantages of satin: Many common cos dresses are used, with good luster, gorgeous photo effect and easy modeling. Disadvantages: too much, thin, transparent, super like drawing. When the clothes are made and worn twice, the seams of the clothes will open, get dirty and run away. Personal evaluation: this is not used to make clothes, but usually used to hang clothes inside. Therefore, it is absolutely not recommended to use this fabric. Advantages of imitation satin: high cost performance, good luster, gorgeous photo effect, easy to wash and dry. Disadvantages: airtight, low yield. Personal evaluation: it is a good fabric for making ancient costumes or dresses. Advantages of glass fiber: cos ancient costume is widely used, which looks elegant and gorgeous. Disadvantages: As much as silks and satins, things made of this material look good from a distance, but they must not be seen with the naked eye. The seams of the clothes are wrinkled because the material is willing. Personal evaluation: this is not used to make clothes. Many ancient costumes love to cover a glass gauze coat, which is influenced by fake ancient costumes. Personally, I think this is to put curtains on myself. Advantages of chiffon: elegant, gorgeous, easy to wash and dry. Disadvantages: thin and transparent, but very suitable for making the outermost tulle of ancient costumes. Personal evaluation: the fabric is good, but you should be careful when choosing it, because there are many kinds of chiffon. Generally speaking, the thicker, the tighter. Some cheap fabrics are sparse like gauze. Here I suggest using satin as the bottom ~ chiffon middle cover and adding yarn outside. There are layers to have a sense of elegance.

First of all, you should have a general understanding of the cos role you choose, and don't just look at the clothing style to infer the fabric.
