석혜정 Seok Hye-jung , 한승희 Han Seung-hee
Abstract
Korea`s obesity problem has become a serious social issue, as the country is already a child obesity country globally, with one out of seven elementary, middle and high school students suffering from obesity. Psychological problems also arise, among those children, due to their negative physical appearances, and studies are actively conducted for obese child clothing, which supplement the body type problems from the aspect of obesity. In the field of Korean clothing components, however, few studies have been reported yet, resulting in the difficulties in manufacturing Korean clothing suitable for the current obese child body types. This study aims at presenting hanbok jeogori patterns with excellent physical suitability for obese girls, and thus providing the data necessary for niche markets of ready-made Korean clothing for children. As for the study method, two comparison patterns were selected, leading to the preparation of two kinds of hanbok jeogori with jeogori length of 28cm, and study patterns were presented after wearing evaluations were completed. According to the study results, in the appearance evaluations, both of two comparison patterns got low points in front part, which led to the revised designing of B/4+2.5cm for Front Body Girth and B/4+2cm for Back Body Girth for the production of study patterns. The width of Front Sup was set at the collar width+2cm, while sleeve length was equally divided into 3 parts and strip line was drawn in sharp curve as sleeve width and Berae Line change significantly along with the fashion trend. Godae width of B/10+ 1cm and Godae depth of 2cm were set and armhole part was allowed flexibly large, and collar head point was put at the 3-equal division point, rather than at the 2-equal division point, from armhole circumference, with a view to improving the fitness of collar length and neck covering. The study is considered to help the enhancement in the suitability of jeogori for obese girls, and further studies are encouraged for the development of jeogori patterns with applications of skirt waistband, joggi waist, and western jacket patterns.
