4 — Fluid
Crepe, rayon blends, drapey blouse fabrics, soft dresses.
5 — Very fluid

How to use it
- Use lower scores when the fabric holds shape strongly.
- Use higher scores when the fabric collapses and flows with movement.
- Pair drape scoring with weight, width, and fiber content rather than using it alone.
