| Research Abstract |
This study aimed to propose methods of measuring the amount and the distribution of the "clothing space" as an index of apparel fit, and to determine the relations of clothing space to sensory evaluation value and clothing pressure. Measuring the clothing space on a living body is needed. A clothing space was defined as an area between horizontal section contour lines of clothes and human body. The sway of human body is the major problem of determining clothing space. Using a three dimensional measuring apparatus (Voxelan) without contact with the objects, body sway of young women was observed. The front-behind sway exceeded a the right-left and the up-down. Up-down movement was the least. On the other hand, the individual feature of contours line of a body showed little change among repeated measurements. This result showed the possibility of determination of clothing space on living body on conditions of some translation of axes and rotation. The methods for reducing sway and matching measuring data of body and clothes were proposed. Sensory evaluations and clothing pressure measurements on skirt belt sizes were done on large sample and the relation of them was analyzed. The project now needs to continue the investigations.
