Interactive Effect of Textile Pattern and Garment Style on Garment Impression

抄録

We investigated the interactive effect of garment style and textile patterns on garment impression. We used eight textile patterns and three garment styles to generate twenty-seven simulated garment images: three images of unpatterned garments and twenty-four images of patterned garments. We then conducted a sensory evaluation of these stimuli using the semantic differential method. Eight images of textile patterns were also used in the sensory evaluation. A two-way ANOVA with multiple comparisons using the Tukey method indicated that when the impressions of a garment and textile pattern were different, the impression of the garment with that textile pattern was closer to the impression of the textile pattern. When the impressions of a garment and textile pattern were similar, the impression of the garment with that textile pattern was emphasized compared with the unpatterned garment. Our data indicate that the textile pattern has a more significant effect on the garment impression than the garment style. Thus, both the textile pattern and garment style affect the impression of a garment.
