The side pleating was applied to check patterns of various colors with changing the pleat width of repetition, and the visual impression of the formed pattern was investigated by using both plane paper print patterns and 1/3-scale models of three-dimensional paper skirts.
For the patterns on the plane prints, thirteen evaluation terms were used for the impression evaluation by SD method. The analysis of variance of the evaluated values led the results that the difference of kind of the pattern showed stronger effect on the evaluation than that of sort of the color.
For the three-dimensional models, ten evaluation terms were reproduced from the foregoing thirteen terms, and the ranking method was used for the impression evaluation. The result of the evaluation revealed a remarkable difference between the impression obtained from the paper-print patterns and that obtained from the skirt models. It was considered that, in the three-dimensional skirt models, abundant information from the appearance of the shadow part of pleated patterns might affect on the impression evaluation.
From the total consideration of the results obtained above, the guideline has successfully been proposed for the realization of a pattern with a certain desirable impression.
