Abstract
This paper describes a method for fast three‐dimensional approximation of clothing from flat patterns. The pictures obtained are closely related to technical sketches used in the apparel industry. Our approach was implemented in a CAD program as currently used in the industry. Based on the parameterisation of flat polygonal curves and measurements, a geometrical approximation of the garment is achieved by reshaping the surfaces, using some curves as stating points. The methods herein described were applied to model certain elements inherent to the field of clothing design, such as collars, lapels and waistbands.
