Ease allowance and fit of selected female military upper garments

Smit, Nicolene 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (M. Tech. (Fashion, Dept. of Visual Arts and Design)--Vaal University of Technology / This study was contracted by the African Warrior Project of the South African National Defence Force (SANDF). The goal was to explore and describe fit in terms of ease of selected female military upper garments, namely the closely fitted dress jacket and the loosely fitted combat shirt issued by the SANDF. The objectives of this study were firstly, to determine and interpret the amount of tolerance that will comply with the functional requirements related to the activities and comfort of an optimum number of wearers and result in an aesthetically acceptable fit; secondly to analyse and interpret the suitability of the key dimensions used to determine the current size designation in terms of body shapes and gender; thirdly, to determine and interpret the relevance and the validity of the currently used sizing system with regard to representativeness of the current population's measurements. The findings indicated that satisfaction with fit was influenced by fit preferences. Insufficient as well as excess case in a particular location resulted in discomfort or restricted movement and an aesthetically unacceptable garment. Insufficient or excess ease at one location impacted on the comfort experienced in another location on the same horisontal level. Subjects wearing smaller sizes were satisfied with less ease than plus-sized subjects wearing larger sizes. The key dimensions used for the dress jacket and the combat shirt did not ensure sufficient ease at other locations. It was therefore recommended to include the waist and hip dimensions as key dimensions in the size designation to accommodate various body shapes and assist with size allocation. Garments for female wearers carmot be issued according to male body dimensions. The sizing system needs to be revised to represent the population's measurements. / ERGOnomics TECHnologies; Vaal University of Technology

Blusgrunder och passform / Achieving good fit in upper garments

Eriksson, Sofia January 2013 (has links)
Kroppsuppfattning är starkt sammankopplad med passform på kläder. Med hjälp av kläder kan vi framhäva det vi är nöjda med men likaså dölja det vi är mindre nöjda med. Att skapa kläder som verkligen passar för sin målgrupp är den svåraste men också viktigaste utmaningen för konfektionsföretag. Studien genomförs därför som ett uppdrag för ett konfektionsföretag med syftet att undersöka hur god passform i överdels-plagg skapas. God passform kan beskrivas utifrån fem faktorer; trådrak, släthet, linje, rörelsemån och balans. För att uppnå god passform arbetar de flesta företag inom konfektionsbranschen med grund¬mönster. Utvärdering av passform sker kontinuerligt under hela produkt¬utvecklingsfasen genom avprovning och avmätning. Forskaren har en central roll i studien och kommer att vara aktivt involverad i processen för att föra projektet framåt. Inledningsvis kommer tre blusgrunder att arbetas fram. Därefter kommer en befintlig blusmodell med balansfel att analyseras och justeras. Denna justering ska sedan sammanställas i ett dokument för att kunna användas i produktion. Att arbeta med så bra utformade grundmönster som möjligt är själva utgångspunkten för studien. Liksom passform är balans en central del i undersökningen. Att justera balansen mellan fram- och bakstycke kan göras genom höjning av inre axelspets. Jag har främst använt mig av litteratur som jag känner till för att kunna fokusera på att hinna genomföra alla delmoment i uppdraget. Eftersom alla steg är uppfyllda kan detta ses som en verifiering på att de åtgärder som har genomförts också har fungerat. Eftersom undersökningens specifika passformsproblem handlade om balans skulle det vara intressant att fortsätta forska på det området. Att arbeta med bystinsnitt kan också förbättra balansen. Det skulle därför vara intressant att jämföra detta med höjning av inre axelspets för att se hur dessa två metoder påverkar ett plagg i övrigt. Body image is strongly linked to the fit of clothing. Clothing can enhance the areas of our body that we are contempt with as well as disguise the ones we are not so satisfied with. The hardest, but also the most important challenge for a clothing company, is to create clothes that really fit their customers. The purpose of this study is to investigate how good fit is created in upper garments. The study is carried out as an assignment for a clothing company. Fit is accomplished by five factors; grain, set, line, ease and balance. To achieve a good fit, most companies in the clothing industry are working with basic patterns. Evaluation of fit is carried out through the whole product development phase with the help of fitting session and measuring of the garments. The researcher has a key role in this survey and will be directly involved in the process to ensure constant progress. Initially, three basic patterns for blouses will be constructed. Then a blouse with balance issue will be analyzed and adjusted. This adjustment will be documented as general description for altering upper garments with balance issues. The main focus of this study is to achieve as good basic patterns as possible. Along with fit, balance is also an important subject in the survey. Adjusting the balance in a garment can be accomplished by raising highest point of shoulder. I have mainly used literature that I am familiar with to be able to focus more on accomplishing my assignment. All steps are fulfilled which means that actions taken throughout the study have been accurate. It would be interesting to further explore fitting problems regarding balance. The use of darts is another way to enhance balance. It would therefore be of most interest to compare this to raising highest point of shoulder and especially look at differences in these two methods. / Program: Designteknikerutbildningen
