Research Abstract

For a demand of a consumer for clothes, an item concerning a durable performance of products was large up to this time. At present, a consumer thought much of a clothing function and a clothing comfort, and became it to demand clothes of a high quality and a low price fitted to a personal life scene and life style. For an inner wear for woman use, a consumer demand concerning practical use and fashion and function became an importance especially. Consequently, in order to satisfy a demand of a consumer, we are necessary to supply comfortable clothes. It is very difficult to imput a clothing comfort in a design primary factor of clothes, because there is an individual difference in the expression method of a clothing confort and also it is including subjective and ambiguity a lot. To settle it, it is necessary to develop a method to make a clothing comfort objective. By the way, an evaluation method of clothing fitness with body has been studied as we capture a clothing comfort with a scientific viewpoint.
A purpose of this research is to develop a clothing comfort evaluation system of an inner wear in order to make a clothes design reflective for ambiguous and complicated personal sensitivity information and carry reserch to be concerning a fitness evaluation for the body of a brassiere. First, we considered a measurement method of 3 dimensional shape of the human body and clothing shape at a static state and adynamic state. Next, we analyzed a change quantitative analysis of a body surface accompanied with an action of the human body and clothing shape superficial change quantitative data.
As the result, to design a nice inner wera of a clothing comfort that a load for the body is a little and can keep a beautiful silhouette, only information of a current body size understood an insufficient matter. And also, it understood that it is necessary that a design primary factor input a taste for a clothing comfort of a wearing person.
