| Abstract |
| This study aims to provide useful data in developing upper body patterns for women who have a unusual body type where their bust circumferences are larger than their chest circumferences by 5cm or more.
For this, three female subjects whose bust-chest differences are 5, 7 and 8 centimeters respectively were selected. As well as the change in the shapes of prototype upper bodies according to the increase of the amount of darts: 2.5cm, 5cm, 7cm, and 8cm.
First, in the case of a 6-cm difference in bust-chest size, it looked most comfortable when the amount of darts is applied with 5cm. Second, for the subjects who have 7 and 8 cm gap between bust and chest circumferences, it looked most comfortable and nice when the difference is adjusted by 5cm and the shortfall is covered within front shell and the amount of darts: In the case of a 7cm difference, the shortfall of 2cm is covered at front shell by 1 cm and in the amount of darts by 1cm. In the case of a 8cm difference, the shortfall of 3cm is covered at the front shell by 1.5cm and in the amount of darts by 1.5cm.
The findings of the study indicated that the uniformly applied amount of darts by 2 to 2.5cm cause the failure of upper front body modeling and lower the fit of clothing. When the amount of darts were adjusted according to the bust-chest difference, the fit was perfect and comfortable. Three final upper body patterns for each subject shares identical rear shells for standard body type, though the front shells hold different length and width according to each subject`s insufficient amount of darts. |
