Abstract
For the purpose of designing some basic patterns adjusted for certain physical types, 100 young females were measured. We classified them firstly into three groups using Pignet-Vervaeck indices 82 and 90 as the critical values. Secondly, in relation to the P.V. index we analyse 14 items (bust girth, bust depth, etc.) by one-way analysis of variance.
The results are summarized as follows :
1. The variance ratio is significant on every 13 item at the 1% level of significance, therefore, on each item the mean of the three groups is significantly different.
2. Contribution is more than 65 % on bust girth, bust depth and waist girth, but less than 50% on other items.
