“…During the development phase of both the virtual and the physical dressed bodice, students demonstrated joy and excitement as the driving factor for following the project brief's instructions, unparalleled to their inadequate skills caused by their limited experience in such experimental learning model. However, many studies including [13] state that the designer ultimately has to make the transition from real fit evaluation to the virtual environment. Fashion design students are the designers of tomorrow.…”

“…Columns 3-4 show the virtual fit, while 5-6 show the physical fit (both front and side view). According to [13], wrong pose and body posture can affect the final result in pattern design, sizing, and fitting due to landmarks' shift. Chosen positioning of the subject can affect the consistency of new mobile scanning tools [22].…”

“…One other reason is that students even though trained to use 2D CAD pattern systems, still use 1-D measures extracted from the measurements' table (MobileFit App). 3D shape data, as similarly noted in [13], cannot be integrated into the pattern making process. Moreover, although students followed the same instructions for basic bodice drafting, the results in the basic measurement of bodice length are different.…”

“…3D body scan apps, are very easy to use and free to download (to a certain extend), allowing the user to scan the clothed body in a matter of seconds, anywhere and anytime. These apps use advanced computer vision, deep learning, 3-D, and mesh processing technologies, to generate a body measurement chart [13] and a 360 view of the scan directly into any smart phone. Although these apps demonstrate the above mentioned game-changing opportunities for 3D body scan in large scale, are slowly being explored by researchers.…”

This paper evaluates the accuracy of mobile 3D scanning technology in regards to exported anthropometric data and 3D body mesh, when comparing the virtual try-on of a bodice with the fit on the same physical body. Fashion students during their subjects of Virtual Prototype and 2D Pattern Design Systems, divided in groups, used Mobile Fit app by SizeStream to provide a 3D representation of a body of their choice. They used the extracted obj file into CLO3D as an avatar. With the extracted anthropometric measurements the students developed a basic bodice in Polypattern 8.4v2 22 Cad pattern design system. The exported dxf files of the basic bodices were imported in the 3d environment to virtual dress the scanned body/avatar. At the same time, the physical bodice was constructed by each team and dressed on the same scanned body. Evaluation of fit was conducted comparing the two methods. Authors state the pros and cons of the complete digital method.

“…Individual's range and speed of motion varies due to factors such as age, gender, health, fitness, and body morphology [10]. Movement as well as the factors that can affect an individual's mobility is often not considered during product development of SCGs [3,11] and the only published research focusing on movement related ease is for woven garments [4,5,6]. Ease is defined as the dimensional difference between the garment and the contour of the body [11], which can either be positive or negative; SCGs have negative ease as the garment is designed to be smaller than the body dimensions.…”

The aim of this research is to improve sizing and fit of compression sports leggings for an athletic female population. Using 3D and 4D body scan technology, it is possible to understand how the body's dimensions change during movement, which can provide information to enhance the fit of compression garments, that are commonly worn for physical activity. The Hohenstein Institut collaborated with this research and conducted body scanning using their Vitus Smart Laser scanner and Little Alice 4D scanner. Six German amateur football players were recruited and scanned in two static postures and two corresponding dynamic postures. Dimensional changes around key measurements for pattern creation were analysed and compared. It was hypothesised that lower body dimensions would change substantially from the standard scan posture to the functional postures, and results would present a difference between the static functional postures and the dynamic posture.

Investigating how online fashion product page design affects the consumer's clothing fit appraisal

Clothing fit is the most important consideration during the consumer's garment appraisal process but is the primary reason for the extensive number of online returns generated in the fashion industry. This suggests that when shopping online, consumers are not provided with sufficient information about the fit of a garment. This issue is even more imperative now as COVID-19 has accentuated the shift to shopping for clothing online. Thus, how fashion retailers communicate clothing online is a critical challenge requiring immediate attention. Underpinned by the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) framework, this research undertakes a between-subjects factorial web-experiment to investigate how different types of fit information affect the consumers' online garment evaluations and purchasing decisions. The results from 400 UK female responses show that whilst the presence of diverse body shapes (vs. one body shape) enhances the consumers' garment fit evaluations, it does not increase purchase intentions. Alternatively, verbal fit information in the form of clothing fit reviews (vs. absence) increased product fit diagnosticity but had no significant effect on concerns with fit online or purchase intentions. The results provide novel insights into how fashion retailers can enhance the communication of clothing fit on their product pages.
