衣服設計のための若年女性の肩部形状の3次元的把握

Abstract

The torsos of 39 young women were measured using two three-dimensional devices (VIVID 910, Konica Minolta Sensing Co.). The shape of the shoulder was represented with a 3D model which was constructed 83 points on the body surface of the shoulder include neck line, shoulder seam line, armhole line, across back line and across chest line. The average model of shoulder for young Japanese women was obtained. But the individual shape of shoulder varied widely. Then the principal component analysis was performed to clarify the factors that characterize individual shoulder shapes. The principal components obtained were "forward thrust shoulder or not,""sloping shoulder or square shoulder,""thick or thin upper back" and "pigeon breasted or flat breasted." These results will help to design more fitted dress dummies and to improve apparel fit.
