Abstract
When clothing materials are used vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, transformation induced in the clothes differs from each other and it affects fitness and comfortableness of the clothes, stabilization of measurements, and feeling of oppression. It is supposed that these relationships are established by anisotropic mechanical properties of the clothing materials.
In this paper, the anisotropic tensile, bending, and shearing properties of clothing materials are measured and the results are connected with transformation of skirt and slacks which was shown in the previous paper.
It was found that transformation of the clothes had a relation to the anisotropic tensile, shearing, and bending properties of the clothing materials ; especially yarn and fabric structure of the clothing materials and the anisotropic tensile property had an effect on transformation of the clothes.
