Abstract
The authors have experimented on the wearing test of women's clothes by means of sensory method, to find a basic pattern of clothes which fits a body and its movements. This paper reports the result of the experiment on the construction of the armhole.
The factors of the experiment are the depth of the armhole (bust girth/4-2cm, B./4-1 cm, B./4, B./4+1cm, B./4+2cm), the height of the sleeve cap (size of the armhole/4, size of the armhole/3), and the fundamental movement (10 actions). The authors analysed the data by the cumulative method.
The drawing conditions of the armhole which fits both a body and its movements are as follows :
1) in the case of ordinary clothes the height of the sleeve cap : size of the armhole/3
the depth of the armhole : bust girth/4+ (12) cm
2) in the case of working clothes the height of the sleeve cap : size of the armhole/4
the depth of the armhole : bust girth/4+ (02) cm
