Comparative Study on Body Suitability of Torso Patterns

In this study, the domestic-developed torso pattern A and the Japanese Bunka torso pattern were selected as research types to analyze the difference in the clothing fit of the torso pattern. The drafting pattern drawn with the basic measurements of the subject and the grading pattern reflecting several important measurements in addition to the basic measurements were assessed. When a t-test was performed on the sensory test score about the shape fit of drafting patterns, all two subjects had better shape fits with the Bunka torso pattern than the torso pattern A. On the other hand, in the case of the shape fit of grading patterns, subject A showed no difference between the two patterns, but subject B had better shape fits of the Bunka torso pattern than the torso pattern A. In conclusion, the body suitability of the drafting Bunka torso pattern was superior to that of the torso pattern A. In some body types, when the torso pattern A was graded to reflect the change in dimensions of each human part, the body suitability of the torso pattern A could also be improved, corresponding to the Bunka torso pattern. One of the factors that led to the Bunka torso pattern having better body suitability than the torso pattern A was the use of two darts in the front and back unlike the torso pattern A.
