경제 사정의 악화에 따른 의류 소비의 위축 및 치열한 경쟁 속에서 패션업체는 경영의 합리화와 장기적이고 적극적인 경쟁력 향상 방안의 일환으로 아웃소싱에 많은 관심을 보여왔다. 본 연구에서는 시장 규모가 상대적으로 크고 유행의 변화에 특히 민감한 여성캐주얼 의류업체의 국내외 아웃소싱 현황을 알아봄으로써 패션업체의 아웃소싱 현황에 대한 이해를 돕고, 보다 효율적인 글로벌 소싱 전략 수립에 필요한 기초자료를 얻고자 한다. (중략)

The body measurement ratios and indices used in this study are all 3D female measurement data of the two countries were obtained from Size Korea Project and SizeUSA Project. The purpose of the study is to compare and analyze body measurement data between two countries. The results of this research are helpful for the clothing manufacturer and company to trade with America. The samples were 1,988 Korean and 6,306 American females. Thirty-five body measurement ratios and indices were chosen as the principal measurements in making garments. The conclusion of this research was as follow; First, U.S. females have measurements that exceed Korean women, except for crotch length total and shoulder slope. Second, the correlation coefficients of height and weight are relatively higher than other measurements in the two countries' body measurements. Finally, American women's height ratios are significantly bigger than Korean women's in most height ratios. On the other hand, Korean are significantly bigger than American in weight ratios. The drop values of Korean females are also smaller than those of American. It was recognized that American women are much bigger, wider and more obese than Korean according to the results by utilizing the girth ratios. BMI, Rohrer and Vervaeck index.

이 연구에서는 대량생산의 장점인 낮은 가격대 창출과 주문생산의 장점인 고객지향을 추구하는 매스 커스터마이제이션(Mass Customization) 방식에 따른 의류제품의 생산모델을 개발하였다. 특히 체형이 매우 다양한 시기에 있어 이러한 고객지향적 의복이 더욱 필요한 중년여성들을 대상으로 하여 기성복에서 얻을 수 없는 인체적합도가 높은 의복을 생산할 수 있도록 하였다. 이 모델은 소비자 체형파악과 체형별 패턴제작의 어려움을 해결해주기 때문에 의류제조업체의 패턴제작과정을 용이하게 해주고, 모든 생산이 주문에 따라 이루어지므로 재고부담을 감소시키게 된다. 생산모델은 크게 5 단계로 나뉜다. 1 단계는 소비자가 제품에 대한 정보를 얻어 선택을 하는 단계이고, 2 단계는 소비자의 신체치수 계측 및 입력, 체형판별의 단계이다. 1) 단계에서는 이러한 내용을 포함하는 주문서를 작성하여 본사로 전송하고. 4 단계에서는 제품을 생산한다. 그리고 5 단계는 제품의 배송 단계이다. 이 연구에서 실질적으로 검증한 매스 커스터마이제이션 의류제품의 생산과정은 주문단계에서 패턴의 수정 단계까지이며, 이후의 마커제작에서 배송단계까지는 생산설비상의 문제 때문에 설명으로 제시하였다. 또한 매스 커스터마이제이션 의류제품에서 특히 중요한 단계는 고객에 대학 접근방법과 가봉 없이도 인체적합도가 높은 의복을 생산하는 것이므로 이 연구에서는 이를 중심으로 다루었다.

This paper is a comparative research study between Korean and American women's garments from the 1910s to 1930s. It focuses on the articles and advertisements of Korean women's magazines and American women's magazines. The Korean women's magazines investigated are 신여자[Siyeoja], 신가정[Singajung], 부인[Buin], 신여성[Sinyeosung], and 여성[Yeosung]. The American woman's magazine investigated is Ladies' Home Journal. This paper explores the differences and similarities between the garments that appear in these magazines. There is little evidence about women's clothing in Korean women's magazines while the American women's magazine includes a lot of information about women's dress and life. Korean women usually wore Korean traditional costumes with traditional terms like Chima and Jeogori but they wore western shoes, stockings, shawls, umbrellas, and some clothing with western materials such as lace, velvet, and rayon with borrowed words. These western accessories and some clothing materials like lace and rayon were the same fashion in America. So, Korean women wore traditional and western clothing together while American women wore clothing influenced by Paris fashion. American women wore various pieces of clothing like suits, frocks, coats and sportswear with undergarments. There were also lots of advertisements about women's under garments and sportswear which was different from Korean women's clothing during the period.

By definition, smart clothing describes a garment whose functionality is enhanced by technological advancements in order to ease one’'s lifestyle. To know user’'s understanding and needs, the research had consisted of brainstorming sessions, personal interviews, focus group meeting, and a series of content analyses. Ten of the interview subjects and focus group panel were found by contacting women aged 56-64 in the Ithaca community, NY. They were prompted with general questions on style choices for their lifestyles and age group and then presented with two examples of smart clothing to discuss and critique. Meanwhile, the other three interview subjects, located outside of the Ithaca community, were aged either above or below the targeted bracket. These subjects were interviewed as a method of comparison on multiple levels. Findings had shown that there was indeed a need for smart clothing amongst the increasingly populated demographic of older women: devices to help one’'s body temperature regulation and vision problem, and well-designed clothing. However, the functionalities must be carefully constructed and conveyed in order to be taken seriously by the mainstream consumer market. Once successfully designed, the smart clothing will ideally create a greater sense of autonomy for older women.

This study investigated the wearing status and design preferences regarding athleisure wear, focusing on young women in their 20s and 30s and middle-aged women in their 40s and 50s participating in yoga and fitness activities. A total of 332 valid samples were used for the survey by setting the same number of samples for each age group. The results showed that young women in their 20s and 30s exhibited weight control, and middle-aged women in their 40s and 50s maintained their health in relation to exercise. Athleisure wear brands were found to prefer foreign brands over domestic brands. When purchasing athleisure wear, the foremost considerations were material functionality, fit according to body shape, and reasonable prices. The preferred athleisure wear leggings design showed that both middle-aged women and young women preferred nine-piece leggings. Women in their 20s to 50s were found to purchase and acquire information on athleisure wear online. Hence, the pattern of life is rapidly transitioning from offline to online, and the market structure of athleisure wear is gradually transitioning toward an omni-channel society with a distribution market structure that combines information technology(IT) and mobile technologies. Therefore, It is required to develop athleisure wear of various functional products that meet the trends according to the global market environment and consumer class.

This study suggests apparel sizing systems for obese women in their twenties to fifties. Size Korea body measurement data were used for sampling the obese subjects by obesity judgment indices. A total of 7 obesity judgment indices frequently used in the clothing field were inspected and the measurement data of 499 females defined as "obese" by over 5 obesity judgment indices were analyzed. The results of the study were as follows: A total of 2,212 female body measurement data for the Size Korea Project were collected. These were compared with the 499 data of the obese women in the study. Except for all heights and some lengths correlating with heights, the measurements of obese women were larger than the entire group of females. Bust girth, hip girth, and height were selected as control dimensions of the outerwear covering the upper body; waist girth and hip girth were selected as control dimensions of the outerwear covering the lower body. In each crosstabulation table, 3cm pitches and 5cm pitches by bust girth, waist girth, and hip girth were compared in the aspects of coverage and coverage efficiency. Finally, sizing charts for outerwear covering the upper body and the lower body of obese women were established in the study through the comparison of the coverage and the coverage efficiency. These Size charts were given by 5cm pitches as final sizing systems. Size number of outerwear covering the upper body was 10 and size number of outerwear covering the lower body was 9. In addition, the body measurements of control dimensions and referable dimensions for making garments are given.
