Subject field(s)
  • Textiles: Preparation and Processing
DEF

[Refers to] a textile finish which creates lustrous or dull effects on the surface of a woven fabric.

CONT

Moiré effects are achieved when crushed and the uncrushed parts of the fabric reflect light differently in a rippled, or watermarked, pattern. This popular look is usually achieved by passing the fabric between engraved rollers that press a wavy motif into the fabric. Moiré effects may also be achieved by overlapping various colors in printing fabrics, or by method of weaving.
