본 연구의 목적은 20대 표준체형 여성을 대상으로 하여, 소재에 따른 플레어 스커트의 실제착의와 가상착의에 따른 시각적 이미지를 비교 분석하고, 시각적 이미지와 역학적 특성간의 상관관계를 분석하는 데에 있다. 본 연구는 드레이프 특성이 확연히 다른 5종류의 소재를 사용하였다. 실험에 사용되어진 플레어 스커트의 실제착의와 가상착의의 이미지는 사진으로 제공되었으며, 피설문자는 20대의 의류학 전공의 여성이었다. 자료의 분석은 SPSS Ver.12.0 프로그램을 사용하여 통계 처리하였으며, 연구 문제별로 요인분석, 일원변량분석(One way ANOVA), T 검정(t-test), 던컨테스트(Duncan test)를 실시하였다. 시각적 이미지에 대한 요인분석 결과 '드레이프성', '매력성', '신체 보정성', '부피감', '활동성' 의 총 5 가지 요인이 분석되었다. 시각적 이미지중 '부피감'의 경우 G, 무게, 두께와 같은 역학적 특성들과 밀접한 상관관계를 나타냈으며, 3차원 의복 시뮬레이션과 실제착의간의 시각적 이미지는 소재에 따라 유의한 차이점을 나타냈는데, 실크나 폴리에스터 소재와 면, 린넨, 양모소재간 이미지 차이는 소재의 무게와 두께에 따라 영향을 많이 받는 것으로 나타났다.

For this study, 18 kinds of cut and sew or seamless knitted test garment were made. Samples differed from each other by skirt angles(90°, 180°), gauges(7G, 12G, 15G), and grain directions(bias direction, wale direction, and radial direction). After measuring the mechanical properties of various gauges on the seamless knitting machine, I compared shape of the knitted flare skirt through subjective evaluation on appearances. The data analysis methods used in this study were descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, Duncan-test, correlation analysis, and regression analysis. The subjective evaluation on appearances of knitted flare skirts showed the following: In case of 90° skirt, the seamless skirt showed a much higher score in every gauge expect that of the cut and sew 12G, and silhouette of 15G wale direction. In case of the 180° skirt, the seamless type showed a much higher score in every item over the cut and sew expect the silhouette part of 7G wale direction.

The purpose of this study is to analyse the effects of knit samples' mechanical properties on changes of skirt length of knit flared skirt, and to compare it to the knitting method of a seamless knitted flare skirt. So, I compared the appearance and 3-dimensional shape of a seamless knitted flare skirt with those of a fully cut knit flared skirt. For this study, 18 kinds of cut and sew or seamless knitted test garment were made. The data analysis methods used in this study were descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, correlation analysis, and regression analysis. The results are as follows: The result of the evaluation of knit samples' mechanical properties by the KES-FB system showed that elongation decreased as gauge increased and course direction was greatest among grain directions. The length change after wearing the knitted flare skirts appeared wholly equal to the seamless knitted, compared with the cut and sew. The change was biggest at 180°, 7G of the cut and sew. In grain direction, bias cut showed more than 1.2cm of length change. As the weight and thickness increased, the length changes become larger. The regression analysis indicated that the greatest contributive variables on the length changes were elongation, weight, and thickness.
