In order to ensure a comprehensive evaluation of laminated seams in working clothing, a series of research was carried out to determine the correlation between the parameters of the seam lamination process (i.e., the temperature, the time, the pressure) and the mechanical properties of laminated seams. The mechanical properties were defined by means of the maximum breaking force, the relative elongation at break and the total bending rigidity. The mechanical indexes were accepted as the measure of durability and stability of laminated seams. The correlation between the lamination process parameters and the final properties of the tested seams in working clothing was proposed using a three-factor plan 33. Finally, the single-criteria optimization was introduced and the objective functional is the generalized utility function U. Instead of three independent optimization problems, the single problem was applied, and the global objective function was a weighted average of partial criteria with the assumed weight values. The problem of multicriteria weighted optimization was solved using the determined weights and the ranges of acceptable/unacceptable values.

“…Considered a specific niche, women's clothing is strongly influenced by trends in colors, pattern and fashion but also by the feelings about an adequate durability, a satisfactory degree of comfort in wearing and finally, yet importantly, a great aesthetic appearance, no matter what the end use is [1][2][3][4]. When the garment quality for women is defined from the weaving companies' perspective, there is a focus on the overall features that can be measured in a laboratory [5][6].…”

“…When the garment quality for women is defined from the weaving companies' perspective, there is a focus on the overall features that can be measured in a laboratory [5][6]. Nevertheless, a perspective acknowledged as the market feedback for textile value chain, was the awareness on the women's perspective on quality, as the consumer's viewpoint [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Therefore, predicting the overall suitability for designed end use and the products success on the market can be a hard topic for fabrics and clothing manufacturers and for retailers, thus, the improving of the fabric design strategy should be the main mandatory task in textile companies [3,[6][7][8].…”

“…The situation becomes more complex when it comes to a successful product for e-commerce and online shopping [1,4,[9][10]. A positive effect of the globalized market is the "consumer market without frontiers", hence, in the clothing manufacturing sector, several changes came out [3,8]. One of these is e-commerce, the most common form of distance shopping, which added another dimension to the textile value chain.…”

This study covers an investigation on two wool-type fabrics selected as suitable for cold season dresses. From the beginning, it was expected that the two fabrics will bear out diverse features in dresses due to the different patterns and structures, yet suitable for the end use. The fabrics were tested following the standards for the properties linked to the actual wearing of dresses, some of the features being related also to the general appearance expected by any clothing customer, regardless of the purchasing way (retailing or e-commerce). This opinion was pointed out by a survey of women’s preferences about buying clothing items. Next, it was achieved the 3D clothing simulation to visualize the cold season dress, by combining the sketch, the fabric (with raw material, pattern, colours, and overall features expected for wearing) and finally, the wearer’s body. This approach allowed stepping forward from the experimental results reached for fabrics’ overall quality after the laboratory testing to the dress simulation, to give customers virtual perceptions on the fabrics’ suitability for particular outfits. Therefore, within the textile value chain, the weaving companies should upgrade the design process by including the benefits of the 3D clothing simulation. This strategy would move towards the reaching of the consumer’s perspective on the fabrics suitability for manufacturing items of clothing as successful products on the market.
