Which fabric is described as filament in its construction?

• A. Plisse
• B. Eyelet
• C. Flocked Dotted Swiss
• D. Sumbrella

Answer: (C)

Filament in its construction refers to fabrics built from long, continuous fibers in their yarns, which gives a smooth, even surface and stronger fiber behavior. Flocked Dotted Swiss fits this description because the dotted pattern is created by applying short fibers (flock) to the base fabric, and those fibers often have a filament character that remains attached to the surface. This surface treatment introduces a distinct, raised texture that aligns with using filament-like fibers in the construction. The other fabrics rely on different techniques: plisse achieves a puckered look through pleating chemistry, eyelet is defined by embroidery holes, and Sumbrella is a coated, typically film-based fabric for rainwear.
