Solution

Glues - Improve Fabric Drape

Explanation:

This pair is incorrect because glues make fabrics stiff and rigid, which actually ruins or destroys fabric drape rather than improving it. In textile finishing, drape refers to how beautifully and gracefully a fabric hangs or flows. Glues are used as heavy stiffening agents, which lock the fibres in place, making the cloth hard and inflexible.
