Subjective Scaling and Sizing
- History of sizing systems and ready to wear garments- Creating sizing systems- Selection of key dimensions- Determination of variation range of key dimensions- Establishing the number of sizes
- Calculation of secondary dimensions- Size Designation and labeling- Standardization of sizing systems and its purpose
- Target market and strategies for segmenting the apparel market-
- Prior segmentation based on geographic segmentation, demographics include gender, age, size, body shape and ethnicity- Posterior segmentation include behavioral segmentation and psycho graphic segmentation
- Anthropomorphic and body measurement method- Various technologies of 3D body scanning
- Variation in human performance in clothing systems- Relation of sizing and garments fit with body movement
- Quantifying trapped air volume between skin and clothing- Influence of clothing fit on its ventilation-
- Stretch and non-stretch fabrics- The influence of fabric properties on the clothing sizing and fit
- Apparel sizing and its effect on the clothing aesthetics- The influence of clothing on the body appearance
- Pattern Variation to improve clothing fir- Methods of pattern alteration
- Ergonomics and clothing design- Anthropomorphic variables- Static or structural anthropometry
- Dynamic or functional anthropometry- Selection of anthropometric data for clothing design- Errors and variability in anthropometric data- Variability in human dimension
- Body motion analysis and clothing comfort- variation in body shape during motion- interaction between clothing and body
- Dynamic Loading on clothing during wearing and movement- Allowance for clothing comfort and wearability
- Dynamic Loading on clothing during wearing and movement- Allowance for clothing comfort and wearability
