Abstract

The effects of skirt length on warmth retentivity were examined by measuring skin temperature on several parts of the leg warm differency length of skirts in the chamber which controlled at $-7\pm1^{\circ}C$ and $85\%$ R.H. The results were obtained as follows: 1. The high correlative efficients were found between the length of skirt and the warmth retentivity. Little warmth retentivity was found in a mini-skirt. 2. The skin temperature was dropped gradually lower nearing the ankle. 3. The skin temperature was also dropped immediately when the skin was exposed to the cold air, and showed a gradual fall.
