Customized shops have many fabric samples, and different fabrics have different prices. Not only are imported fabrics more expensive than domestic fabrics, but even if they are domestic fabrics, the prices of clothes are also different. When, the customer will ask:

What is the difference between the two?
Why is this expensive and that cheap?
……

However, because the fibers are thinner than hair, customers have no intuitive feeling for the fibers. Therefore, let customers feel Fabrics make it easier for customers to understand the pros and cons of fabrics.

Aurora refers to the appearance that part or all of the fabric presents an unpleasant luster, making the surface of the fabric too bright and the interior of the fabric weak. There are dots, lines, surfaces and chicken claws, etc., which mostly occur on medium-thick fabrics.
