Experimental cotton fabries made from four lots of Acala 1517C cotton fiber selected for strength and fineness were used for constructing 192 gingham dresses. One dress of each fabric was assigned to each of 48 wearers. A schedule for regular wear and care was established. Over a series of 16 wear periods, dresses were withdrawn in replicates of three according to a random sampling plan.

The worn fabries were tested at each of the wear periods for qualities pertaining to durability and appearance. Regression equations were calculated and trends of change plotted. Properties of the fabries from the four fiber lots were compared. Fiber fine ness was of greater importance than strength in maintaining desirable wearing qualities of the fabries.
