Consumers have more choices for apparel products as e-shopping grows. This study examines the importance of apparel product attributes and classifies online apparel buyers into groups based on product attribute evaluation in various choice sets. For the empirical research, the online survey was conducted and Latent Gold Choice 4.0 was used for the choice-based conjoint analysis. Five consumer segments are found based on the choice selection of product attributes. The importance of product attributes (online shopping mall, brand, price, and style) and the preference of each product attribute level were different across segments. This research improves the knowledge of the purchasing behavior of online apparel buyers and provides proper attribute combinations of apparel e-shopping for each consumer segment.

This paper introduces the implementation of a secondhand clothing trading system equipped with virtual fitting functionality based on deep learning. The proposed system provides users with the ability to visually try on secondhand clothing items online and assess their fit. To achieve this, it utilizes the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithm to create virtual representations of users considering their body shape and the design of the clothing. This enables buyers to pre-assess the fit of clothing items online before actually wearing them, thereby aiding in their purchase decisions. Additionally, sellers can present accurate clothing sizes and fits through the system, enhancing customer satisfaction. This paper delves into the CNN model's training process, system implementation, user feedback, and validates the effectiveness of the proposed system through experimental results.

This study was conducted to provide a solution to the problem of sizing errors occurring in online purchases due to discrepancies and non-standardization in clothing sizes. This paper discusses an implementation approach for a machine learning-based recommender system capable of providing personalized sizes to online consumers. We trained multiple validated collaborative filtering algorithms including Non-Negative Matrix Factorization (NMF), Singular Value Decomposition (SVD), k-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), and Co-Clustering using purchasing data derived from online commerce and compared their performance. As a result of the study, we were able to confirm that the NMF algorithm showed superior performance compared to other algorithms. Despite the characteristic of purchase data that includes multiple buyers using the same account, the proposed model demonstrated sufficient accuracy. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to reducing the return rate due to sizing errors and improving the customer experience on e-commerce platforms.

본 논문은 가상 직물 착용을 위한 직조 패턴 제거 필터의 성능 분석에 관한 것이다. 명도 차분 맵을 이용한 가상 직물 착용 시스템은 의류 형상 영역의 명도 차분 맵을 이용하여 조명과 음영 특성을 추출할 시, 의류 형상 영역의 색상에는 무관하지만 의류 모델의 직조 패턴에는 영향을 받는다. 본 논문에서는 바이래터럴 필터(bilateral filter)와 측지 형태학 필터(geodesic morphological filter)에 기반하여 모델 의류 영역의 직조 패턴을 제거하는 방법을 소개하고 그 성능을 분석함에 목적이 있다. 가상 직물 착용 시스템에 직조 패턴 제거 필터를 채택할 경우, 최대한 모델 영상의 직조 패턴에 무관하게 직물 원단의 디자인이 의복의 외관에 미치는 영향을 시뮬레이션할 수 있음에 따라 직물 디자이너의 창작활동을 도와줄 수 있다. 또한 온라인상에서 직물 원단이나 의류를 거래할 시에 구매자로 하여금 모델 영상의 직조패턴에 종속되지 않은 상태에서 의사결정을 할 수 있도록 지원해 B2B 또는 B2C 전자상거래 행위를 촉진할 수 있다.

Unexpected consumer dissatisfaction emerges through rapid growth and expansion of on-line shopping channel. This research focused on the fashion online retail channels' negative aspect caused by service failure which possibly disappointed consumers. We also tried to seek for appropriate service recovery types based on frequently offered recovery types on-line. Data from college students were analyzed. Results indicate that fitting problem, insufficient information, product defect, inventory problem and slow delivery were the main service failure types in apparel e-shopping. Regression analysis identified that among these types, insufficient information, product defect, and slow delivery had significant influence on channel satisfaction after post recovery effort. Results also confirmed significant relationships between channel satisfaction and channel switching. Consumers perceived benefit level causes overall channel satisfaction level to rise while perceived risk leads to lower level of channel satisfaction. Choosing desirable service recovery activities in each service failure situations is necessary in order to raise consumer's channel satisfaction in online apparel shopping.

본 논문은 가상 착의 시스템에 관한 것으로, 2D의류 모델 영상에서 의류 형상을 분할한 후, 분할된 의류 형상 영역의 음영 및 조명 특성을 유지하면서 사용자가 선택한 새로운 직물 패턴을 가상적으로 착용시킬 수 있는 2D 실사 기반 가상 착의 시스템의 직물 텍스쳐 매핑에 관한 것이다. 제안된 방법은 다양한 디지털 환경에서 실시간 처리가 가능하고 자연스럽고 사실적인 착용감을 제공할 뿐만 아니라 사용자의 수작업을 최대한 제거한 반자동화 처리가 가능하기 때문에 높은 실용성과 편리한 사용자 인터페이스를 제공할 수 있는 것이 특징이다. 제안된 방법에 따르면 실제 의복을 제작하지 않은 상태에서도 직물 원단의 디자인이 의복의 외관에 미치는 영향을 시뮬레이션할 수 있음에 따라 직물 디자이너의 창작활동을 도와줄 수 있고, 온라인상에서 직물 원단이나 의류를 거래할 시에 구매자의 의사결정을 지원해 B2B 또는 B2C 전자상거래 행위를 촉진할 수 있다. 더불어 기성복이나 맞춤복 모두에 대해 소비자가 자신의 취향에 어울리는 직물 패턴을 용이하게 선택하고 디자인하여 주문제작을 수행하는 거래환경을 조성할 수 있다.

An overflow of information leads consumers to be easily distracted and to neglect the information being provided to them. E-tailers have to select types of information sources and provide their consumers with the most appropriate information. This study was done to specifically contribute to the research in proposing strategies of providing information of the Internet merchant to the e-shoppers through the analysis of relationships among the online purchase motives of consumers, the use of information sources, and decision making styles. This research categorizes the use of information sources into information sources concerning online stores and information sources concerning products. The uses of information sources relative to online stores are classified into the neutral, human, and marketer-oriented sources. The uses of information sources concerning the products are classified into the online and offline source. This study provides important suggestions for e-tailers to provide information about stores as well as products to the consumers with adaptable strategies.

With the advancement of information and communication technology, the market of Internet-based fashion/coordination shopping malls have been considerably increasing year by year. As the number of these Internet shopping malls increases, the operators of the malls tend to decorate the first page of their websites with a variety of events and samples of the best-fit upper-lower clothing pairs. They try to provide visitors of their web sites with products that can induce fresh impression by modifying the first page on a daily or a few days basis. If pairs of best-fit upper-lower clothes for various products available in online shopping malls can be calculated and marked, it would help not only to make the first page of the malls more appealing but also to enable users to purchase linked products in a more convenient way, replacing the recommendations usually made by offline clerks. In the paper, we present the results of designing and implementing an upper-lower clothes matching system in which expert coordinators register matching-value of upper and lower clothes in the form of attribute-value matrix.

Consumer may perceive needs of certain product information online rather than the number of pieces of information available for decision making. In addition, consumers may seek information that is more relevant to apparel category. Moreover, involved consumers intensify information seeking and seek certain information. The purpose of this study is to identify the perceived importance weight of each information cue when shopping apparel via the Internet, to investigate the differences of the perceived importance weight of product information cues in product category, and to examine the relationship between apparel involvement and the perceived importance weight of product information cues. This study employed a single-factor within-subjects design experiment that simulated online purchase situation for two product types, Jeans and a Shirt. A total of 125 college students participated in this study. Results indicated that selected information such size available, price, style, color description, item measurement, stock available, and item quality (in sequence) can be considered as global cues to judge product quality and influence purchase decision regardless of product category. The significant multivariate effects for product category on the perceived importance weight of product information cues were found. Personalization, fiber content, and fabric structure were product specific information cues. Consumers' product involvement significantly influenced the perception of information weight. Therefore, product information can be personalized based on consumer involvement
