Abstract
The purpose of this study is to obtain informations on sewing conditions from the dynamic measurement of the seam tension of slacks. In this paper, the seam tension was measured when women. of standard-size wearing basic slacks made five different body movements chosen from the movements of everyday life.
The results were as follows :
1) The relationship between the seam tension and the body movements was made clear.
2) The maximum seam tension was measured when the body was in motion rather than at rest like sitting in a chair.
3) When bending at the knees, sitting in a chair or making up and down movements on a footstool, a large tension was measured on the seams between the hips and the knees. The maximum tension was 100-200 g/cm on the back center seam and inner leg seam and approximately 100 g/cm on the side seam.
