Wearing Outline of Garment Covering the Upper Trunk

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to define relationship between the slack rate and the garment space or silhouette of the garment covering the upper trunk. Measurements were conducted girth, area of garment and silhouette, garment space of wearing outline. The 14 garment covering the upper trunk were used as subjects. The results are summarized as follows :
(1) The garment space and breadth, sagittal diameter are related to the slack rate and the area of garment.
(2) The garment total space of bust is represented by the following regression formula. Y= 27.42X+182.69 where, Y and X are garment total space (mm) and slack rate (%) of bust respectively.
(3) The front silhouette breadth of bust is represented by the following regression formula. Y=5.04X+296.74 where, Y and X are front breadth (mm) and slack rate (%) of bust respectively.
