Abstract
This study was aimed at grasping the right-left difference of the body using the measured value of 28 items on the right-left parts of the body of adult females, and further grasping its relation with the right-left difference expressed on clothes due to the wearing conditions of upper and lower experimental clothes designed and prepared with a fixed standard. When measured values on the right-left parts of the body were compared, right-left difference was much more recognized in the items of body surface length rather than in those of body projected length. The number of persons who expressed right-left difference in wearing condition of experimental clothes was 243 (93.8%) among 259 examinees for upper suit and 192 (74.1%) for skirt. It was proven that by comparing measured values on the right-left pats of the body (anterior and posterior neck base length; lateral length from waist to hip; shoulder slope; shoulder point, bust point to waist anterior (A); shoulder point, waist posterior (B); and difference between (A) and (B)), prediction of right-left difference while wearing clothes is possible to a certain extent. In addition, it was possible to grasp relation between the right-left difference by body size measurement and the right-left difference expressed on each of upper and lower experimental clothes.
