Abstract
This paper is based on results of the principal component analysis on the upper body. The purpose of this is to investigate the validity of clothing patterns classified by physical type. In order to confirm the fit of the neck-base to shoulder, nine waist patterns were drawn, and sewn into the experimental clothes. The subjects were 262 young adult women from 20 to 21 years of age.
The shoulder slope type clothes were found to fit 143 persons. Each different type of clothing fit on the corresponding body type of the subjects. The physical type clothes fit on all subjects. Body measurements are essential for the experimental clothing in order to support the measurements of the feature figure. Based on body size and figure, comfortable and good-fitting clothing can be made.
