Abstract
A set of 10 relative heights to the stature and 15 angles expressing the silhouettes of the body, which was projected on a frontal-plane and a sagittal-plane, have been obtained by photographic measuring. These data have been compared between Thai 82 males and 112 females (aged 16 to 18 years) and Japanese 49 males and 52 females (aged 15 to 18 years). The following results have been found : The relative total head height, buttock height and trochanteric height to the stature of Thai males or females are respectively larger than those of Japanese males or females; Thai males and females have shrugged chests, bending necks and sloping shoulders; Japanese males and females have thrown out chests, standing necks and square shoulders. These results indicate that the differences of patterns should be considered in the clothing design of Thai and Japanese youths.
