A preliminary study for evaluation of skirt asymmetric drape

V. Sidabraite, V. Masteikaite

Undesirable effect of asymmetric drape often occurs when cutting patterns of flared skirt on cross. Out of this reason garment seams twist toward the front or back or folds form…

Influence of clothing material properties on rectal temperature in different environments

P. Zhang, R.H. Gong, Y. Yanai, H. Tokura

One of the main purposes of clothing is to provide the wearer protection against undesirable environments. The properties of clothing materials have critical influences on the…

Garment's pressure sensation (1): subjective assessment and predictability for the sensation

F. You, J.M. Wang, X.N. Luo, Y. Li, X. Zhang

In order to study the wearing comfort of pressure for tight‐fit clothing, the sensation of wearing pressure and the other related sensations have been assessed for knit garments…

Garment's pressure sensation (2): the psychophysical mechanism for the sensation

F. You, J.M. Wang, X.N. Luo, Y. Li, X. Zhang

Relationships have been investigated between subjective pressure sensation and objective pressure measured, for knit garments of different sizes and fabrics with different…

Theoretical analysis of the geometry of the inclined stitch as a structural element of interlacings

A. Charalambus

The geometry of interlacing with different stages and ways of greating are technically investigated. The theoretical lengthening of the fiber in the inclined stitches is defined…

Optimal marking of garment patterns using rectilinear polygon approximation

In Hwan Sul, Tae Jin Kang

Pattern marking is the allocation of garment patterns on the cloth roll minimizing the fabric loss, and thus very important for the cost reduction in garment manufacturing…
