Description

In one fully comprehensive book, the authors provide a critical examination of the technological developments and scientific understanding of the appearance and fit of clothing. They bridge the gap between the science of beauty and fashion design and garment evaluation technology, garment drape, and human anthropometrics and sizing. The book begins by discussing body attractiveness, how it relates to clothing material and design parameters, and classical and contemporary theories of beauty. Chapters present the industry's techniques, methods, and standards for assessing clothing appearance and fit and review the research and development of objective measurement technologies for evaluating clothing appearance and fit. Other topics include coverage of fabric objective measurement, fabric properties and garment drape, the R & D of body measurement, anthropometrics, and sizing systems.
