Hye Suk Kim and Hee Eun Choi (2023). Corresponding measurement-based patternmaking method for leggings using three-dimensional body scanning technology. Journal of Engineered Fibers and Fabrics, 18, 1-14.
Based on 3D body scanning, this study developed the corresponding measurement-based patternmaking (CMP) method for leggings that could systematically provide an excellent fit and control tightness for different body parts.
The process of the CMP method for leggings is as follows:
Step 1: 3D body figure acquisition and editing
Step 2: Converting measurements to a 2D pattern
Step 3: Reducing the 2D pattern.
The CMP method for leggings was qualitatively validated by comparing the fit suitability of the produced leggings prototypes through a wear test. The results suggest that the CMP method is an option to design leggings with outstanding suitability in terms of appearance satisfaction, size satisfaction, compression satisfaction, usefulness in movement, ease of movement, ease in donning and doffing for different body parts.
In particular, the graduated application percentage (GAP) provided an advantage in usefulness in movement, while the fixed application percentage (FAP) showed an advantage in ease in donning and doffing. As such, this study suggests selecting the CMP method of the application percentage (AP) depending on the purpose of use. This study demonstrated that the proposed method ensured validity in directly implementing a leggings pattern with 3D body scanning and body measurement alone.
Highlights
•The CMP method directly implements a leggings pattern with 3D body measurement.
•The CMP method is an option to design leggings with outstanding fit suitability.
•The CMP method can be used for mass production and customization of leggings.
•GAP provided an advantage in usefulness in movement.
•FAP showed an advantage in ease in donning and doffing.
