M.Dip.Tech. / The theme for this dissertation has been specifically selected with a view to assisting second and third year students studying Garment Technology. It concentrates primarily on some of the newer ideas and specialized techniques which are being utilized by certain manufacturers, otherwise are not covered in the normal discourse of the hand and text book readily available to the students. The suggestions and methods covered in this work have been sourced directly from the workplace of several factories currently in full production, as well as from the authors own experience accumulated over several years whilst working with certain well known manufacturers. Historically, a tailored garment was made up b y a professional tailor who would spend many hours making tiny hand stitches, to shape the garment. Quality and finish were the key factors in those days, but with little or possibly no regard to the time that it took to make the garment. Time, however, has forced tailoring as well as all other facets of the clothing industry to undergo a complete metamorphosis. Faster and better methods have evolved over the years to increase production output, even today designers and manufacturers alike consistently strive to improve them even further so as to ultimately attain maximum financial returns. Tailoring has also been affected by major technological advances in machinery, fabrics, dyes, colors and even fusings. The introduction of softer pattern lines coupled with modern directions of design and even clever innovations such as softer shoulders pads, too have played a role in bringing about such change.

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether clothing influenced perceptions of personality characteristics often associated with success in business environments. Specifically, the study investigated the effect of clothing on (a) perceptions of task-oriented abilities of employees in a business setting, (b) perceptions of relationship-oriented abilities of employees in a business setting, and (c) perceptions of demographic-oriented qualities (education levels and income levels) of employees in a business setting. Seventy-six Speech Communication students were used as subjects for the study, 38 of whom were males and 38 of whom were females. Subjects included six freshmen, sixteen sophomores, seventeen juniors, 36 seniors, and one graduate student. Ages varied from nineteen to 48, with a mean of 22. Results indicated that formal clothing could be related to perceptions of task-oriented abilities in a business setting. However, neither formal clothing, nor casual clothing was related to perceptions of relationship-oriented abilities in a business setting. Finally, clothing could also be related to perceptions of education and income in a business setting. / Graduation date: 1995
