A Suggestion of the Size-designation for the Underweight Women's Tops in their 20s-30s
2016Co-Authors: Jiyoung LimAbstract:Abstract: This study helps out-size consumers purchase tops and improve the fitness of unde-weight women in their 20s-30s and by the establishment of a size system. The criteria for subjects in this study were those under 18.5(kg/m 2 of the BMI; subsequently, a total of 233 females were enrolled. The results were: First, the nominal size for female adult formal dress suggested by the KS standard is suggested in 20 sections. The sections for underweight women are 7, (34 women who accounted for 14.59 % out of 233 in total). The cover efficiency was 2.08 % (which was very low). Second, tests showed that the average difference between the reference part body size of 7 sections for underweight women in the normal size section of Bust cir.- hip cir.- height, and KS standard, waist cir. among reference sizes was rather small in the case of a nominal size for long height. Therefore, there is a significant difference with size in the KS standard and a sizing system proven improper for underweight woman. Third, the basic body sizes and reference body sizes were dif-ferent due to the size system establishment according to measurements of underweight subjects. The research findings suggest that it is necessary to understand underweight types according to Bust Girth and hip Girth sizes that represent basic sizes as well as to design patterns that consider the underweight body shape characteristics when women's top

a suggestion for the size designation for obese middle aged women s swimsuits
Journal of the Korean Society of Clothing and Textiles, 2012Co-Authors: Jiyoung LimAbstract:Abstract This study helps out-size consumers purchase swimsuits and improves fitness by classifying the torso ofmiddle-aged obese women; in addition, it creates a size system based on each size interval for obese types.The criteria for subjects in this study were over 25kg/m 2 of the BMI, over 85cm of waist, and over 95cmof Bust; 199 females were surveyed. Three torso types were categorized by a cluster analysis into X type(the vertical size of hip Girth was the biggest of the three and the waist was slender), H-O type (larger thanother groups in Bust Girth with more fat above the circumstance of the abdomen), and Y type (the upperhalf of body development type and lower body fatness were between those of type X and those of type H-O). As a consequence of size system establishment according to obesity types, the basic body sizes andreference body sizes were different according to types even in commonly-appeared size names at sectionsof respective types. The research findings show the necessity to understand obesity types according to BustGirth and hip Girth sizes that represent basic sizes as well as to design patterns in consideration of thecharacteristics of obese body shapes when swimsuits are designed for obese groups. The findings can beused as basic data to decide the desirable output of production according to respective body types.Key words: Swimsuit, Size-designation, Size-interval, Drop-value; 수영복, 치수규격, 치수간격, 드롭치

Development of a new chinese bra sizing system based on breast anthropometric measurements
Elsevier, 2007Co-Authors: Zheng R, Yu W, Fan JAbstract:Since 1935, the bra sizing system has been based on Bust Girth and underBust Girth. Woman's breast is however a very complex 3D geometry, the existing sizing system based on just two Girth measurements may be inappropriate in the categorization of breast sizes for bras. Through analyzing the nude breast measurements from 456 subjects aged between 20 and 39, we hereby propose a new bra sizing system for Chinese women. The new sizing system uses underBust Girth and the breast depth width ratio as the classifying parameters. They were identified through principal component factor analysis and K-means cluster analysis as the two most critical parameters out of 98 measurements obtained from 3D body scanning and 5 supplementary manual measurements as well as other relevant breast parameters including breast angles, distance, width, thickness, volume and curvature. Relevance to industry: The existing bra sizing system is inadequate in classifying breast sizes for bras. This paper presents a method for classifying nude breast shape for establishing a new bra sizing system. The application of the new sizing system will be important to improve fitting comfort in intimate apparel.Institute of Textiles and Clothin

3-D breast anthropometry of plus-sized women in South Africa
Taylor & Francis, 2011Co-Authors: Pandarum R, Yu W, Hunter LAbstract:Exploratory retail studies in South Africa indicate that plus-sized women experience problems and dissatisfaction with poorly fitting bras. The lack of 3-D anthropometric studies for the plus-size women's bra market initiated this research. 3-D body torso measurements were collected from a convenience sample of 176 plus-sized women in South Africa. 3-D breast measurements extracted from the TC 2 NX12-3-D body scanner 'breast module' software were compared with traditional tape measurements. Regression equations show that the two methods of measurement were highly correlated although, on average, the bra cup size determining factor 'Bust minus underBust' obtained from the 3-D method is approximately 11% smaller than that of the manual method. It was concluded that the total Bust volume correlated with the quadrant volume (r = 0.81), cup length, Bust length and Bust prominence, should be selected as the overall measure of Bust size and not the traditional Bust Girth and the underBust measurement. Statement of Relevance: This study contributes new data and adds to the knowledge base of anthropometry and consumer ergonomics on bra fit and support, published in this, the Ergonomics Journal, by Chen et al. (2010) on bra fit and White et al. (2009) on breast support during overground running.Institute of Textiles and Clothin

a comparative study of the middle aged women s real somatotype and cognitive somatotype
Journal of the Korean Society of Clothing and Textiles, 2006Co-Authors: Junghee ShimAbstract:The middle-aged body differs from the youthful body and has its own body type due to the considerable difference in body structure by age. However, most ready-made clothes for middle-aged women are designed according to the youthful body types. They are looking for the better fitness of the ready-made clothes. Thus clothing fitness is strongly required for a middle-aged women. The purpose of this study is to analyze the basic characteristics of middle-aged women's body types and to compare the real somatotype and cognitive somatotype. The subjects are 238 middle-aged women between 35 and 49 years old living in Daegu. Data are collected through anthropometric measurement and questionnaire on somatotype from September to October 2004. The results are as follows: 1. Using factor analysis, cluster analysis is carried out and the subjects of this research are classified into 4 groups. 2. Middle-aged women usually are not satisfied with their body. Particularly, they show the lowest satisfaction measurement about their abdominal Girth, weight, and overall body-shape in total 16 categories. 3. As a result of body cathexis for each part, women are usually not satisfied with their body parts for themselves, regardless of real somatotype. 4. As I divide middle-aged women's somatotype by Rohrer index into the groups of three body-types, then examine real somatotype and cognitive somatotype, I get the following result : The slimmer their bodies are, the more satisfied middle-aged women we. Besides, 40.3% of middle-aged women have an incorrect and distorted understanding of their somatotype. 5. As a result of this research for ideal state of body-size, the women shows their Ideal sizes as follow: 160.55cm for ideal height, 88.73cm for ideal Bust Girth, 71.14cm for ideal waist Girth, 90.03cm for ideal hip Girth, and 53kg for ideal weight.
