In this study, an experimental study was carried out in order to investigate the bagging deformation of different woven fabrics. The bagging behaviour of fabrics was evaluated by investigating the bagging load of fabrics depending on fabric properties such as weave type and settings. Besides different test procedures were applied and the effect of test parameters was discussed statistically. The availability of image analyse method to define the fabric deformation was also studied. For this purpose the cover factor of deformed and un-deformed fabric images was investigated by image analysis method in order to analyses the deformation degree. The weave type and settings are effective in the 3-D fabric geometry and also identified the 3-D bagging load of the fabric. Besides this, it was observed that the bigger sphere diameter and waiting time of the load onto the fabric increased the bagging deformation.
