This study analyzes the visual image effects regarding the design changes of sleeves and shoulders on plus-size women in their 20s and 30s to propose ideas for plus-size women’s clothing production and design. Based on a plus-size women’s basic raglan sleeve shirt, six types of raglan sleeve shirts with various design elements were developed using a 3D virtual imaging program to analyze the visual image effect of each pattern’s features. The results showed that the A-shaped sleeve silhouette, exemplified by Pattern A2, makes the upper body look longer and slimmer as a whole. It also conveyed a sense of refinement and attractiveness, displaying positive effects regarding body shape and aesthetic perception. Meanwhile, O-shaped silhouettes, such as Pattern B1 and Pattern B2, showed positive effects regarding comfort and mobility, while Y-shaped silhouettes, such as Pattern C1 and Pattern C2, created a visually confident appearance. Furthermore, the research examined the effects of static images and dynamic videos on evaluation outcomes. The results showed that dynamic images enhanced immersion and vibrancy, thereby increasing focus on the apparel evaluated. The results of the visual image evaluation can be used as a basis for designing not only raglan sleeves but also overall sleeve shapes.

This study aimed to develop a basic bodice suitable for the body shape of women in their 50s by using the CLO 3D virtual clothing program to create an avatar with the standard body presented in KATS (2022). A pattern was designed and produced using the CLO program, and the virtual fitting was evaluated. First, it was possible to confirm the slope (profile line) from the front center line to the point in front of the neck, the sagging shape of the breast, and the change in body shape due to the increase in bust circumference using the CLO program. Second, the change in body surface and body surface length according to movement was used to identify the profile line. The bust dart was very large. and the bust circumference showed the largest changes (5.05% in the 90° side and 1.5% of the breast width). Third, the total length reference line of the basic bodice was the back length (actual measurement). The total width reference line was the bust circumference/4+2cm and the breast width+0.5cm. The armhole depth reference line was the bust circumference/4–2. A profile line was created from the front neck circumference to the neck shoulder point to the breast point. Darts were formed on the back shoulder and back armhole lines. The allowances were 8 and 6cm for the bust and waist circumferences, respectively. All virtual fitting evaluation items improved significantly over two rounds (from 3.69/5 to 4.66/5 points).

This study aims to identify factors influencing clothing consumption behavior among college students, focusing on body image perception and self-esteem. Data were collected from 207 students at two universities in Jinju city, using a structured questionnaire from July 1 to August 20, 2024. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis with SPSS 23. The study found moderate levels of body image perception, self-esteem, and clothing consumption among the college students. A negative correlation was found between body image perception and self-esteem r=–.372, p=<.001). The regression model for factors influencing clothing consumption behavior was significant (F=6.33, p≤001), with self-perception of body shape (β=–.257, p=.015), body image perception (β=.241, p=.001), age (β=–.183, p=.008), and academic major (β=.153, p=.025) as significant factors. These variables explained 16.2% of the variance. The results suggest the need for programs that prevent body image distortion and promote positive body image perception among college students, as well as guidance to encourage rational clothing consumption behavior. This study is significant in examining the clothing consumption behavior of college students and will serve as fundamental data for developing desirable programs based on the study results.

This study aims to prepare reference data that can be used to improve the size suitability of elderly men’s casual wear. The sizes of men aged 65–84 from the 8th Size Korea were analyzed and compared with those aged 45–54. First, as a result of classifying their body types according to Syzing systems for male adult’s garments (KS K 0050), more than 50% of the drop body types were “a protruding belly type (BB),” and more than 95% of the lower body types were “a thick waist type (B).” Additionally, elderly men with type BB or B were 3–5cm shorter in height, waist height, chest circumference, and hip circumference than middle-aged men. As there are currently only a few brands for elderly men, this means that the following problems may arise: If an elderly man wears a middle-aged man’s top based on his chest size, the chest and hip circumferences are adequate, but the length is insufficient, the waist circumference is insufficient, and the shoulder width is considered to be excessive. Similarly, pants designed to fit a waist size designation for middle-aged individuals will be larger than intended in terms of length, hip circumference, and thigh circumference.

On the wooden slabs unearthed from the tomb of Guojianao (formerly, Guo) in the period of Sun Wu of the Three Kingdoms, there is a sentence with the words “針囊一枚, 白糸一 , 青糸一”. Past scholars interpreted the three characters “ ” ,“ ” and “ ” as the word “縱 (zong)” , which means “silk thread”, and “ ” ,“ ” as the word “㢧 (卷, juan, volume)”, which is a measure word. This study verifies that the word “ ” is “ ”, and “ ”, “ ” are “ ”, which are all variants of the word “線 (xian, line)”. This was achieved by changing the phonetic note. The measure word “ ”, “ ” used for weighing silk thread should be a variant form of the word “斤 (jin)”, which is similar to the writing of “ (jin)” or “ (jin)” in the Pan’s clothing list of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

본 연구의 목적은 S-O-R 모델을 기반으로 가상패션쇼 관련 의류 제 품에 대한 소비자 구매의도의 영향 요인을 탐구하고 향후 가상패션쇼의 기획과 홍보, 의류 제품의 전시를 위한 이론적 근거와 시사점을 제시하 는 데 있다. 연구 목적을 달성하기 위해 본 연구는 S-O-R 모델을 기반 으로 사회적 영향, 의류 특징, 브랜드 명성, 의류 품질, 촉진 조건, 전시 효과, 인지와 감정 변수를 활용하여 가상패션쇼 의류 제품에 대한 소비 자 구매의도 모델을 구축했다. 정량 분석 방법을 이용하여 구축된 모델 을 검증하고 소비자 구매의도의 영향 요인을 밝혔다. 연구 결과에 따르 면 사회적 영향, 의류 특징, 브랜드 명성, 의류 품질, 촉진 요소, 전시 효 과가 소비자 인지와 감정에 유의미한 정(+)적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 소비자 인지와 감정은 가상패션쇼 의류 제품에 대한 구매의도를 높일 수 있음을 검증했다.

The purpose of the study was to develop clothing that enhances comfort for children using gastrostomy tubes while maintaining a design that is no different from that of non-disabled children. The discomfort experienced by children with gastrostomy tubes wearing regular daily clothing was investigated through medical papers and blogs of their parents. The designs were then created to address the issues. The results were as follows: Because the location of the gastrostomy tube is in the upper body, four types of clothing items were developed: one sweatshirt for boys, two one-piece dresses for girls, and one windbreaker suitable for both boys and girls. Considering practicality for children’s clothing, cotton fabric was prioritized. For sweatshirts and windbreakers, a patched pocket with a dog pattern was placed over the area containing the gastrostomy tube to hide it. Frills were used to conceal the gastrostomy tube in one-piece dresses and designed to allow easy access for eating or disinfecting the area. This study aimed to address the challenges children with gastrostomy tubes face when wearing the regular daily clothes of non-disabled children while also offering aesthetically pleasing designs that enhance convenience for those using gastrostomy tubes. We believe this study will not only raise public awareness of disabilities but also inspire research on future clothing for both children and adults using gastrostomy tubes.
