The purpose of this study is to investigate the visual effect of stripe patterns in one-piece dress. The results of the visual effects are as follows; 1. Comparision with experimental stripe patterns; experimental stripe patterns are likely to appear to be fat and wide in shape, and to be rhythmic, active, modern, unstable, not beautiful and dislike in sense. 2. The correlation between terms; there is a considerable correlation between 'the whole body looks fat 'and' the upper body looks fat'(r=0.84) when experimental stripe patterns are compared with vertical stripe pattern. When experimental stripe patterns compared with horizontal stripe patterns, there is a considerable correlation between 'rhythmic' and 'active' (r=0.90). 3. The results of factor analysis: commonly, factor 1 resulted in character of bodily shape and factor 2 resulted in sensuous charactor.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the clothing buying behaviorial pattern and the differences of clothing buying behaviors by the demographic variables. For the measurement of clothing buying behavior, the researcher developed a questionnaire. This questionnaire was adjusted by preliminary test. Data were collected from 494 women dwelling in Seoul, Busan, Daegu. For statistical analysis, frequency, percentage, average, standard deviation, paired t-test, $X^2-test$, one way analysis of variance, Duncan's multiple range test were used. The results were as follows: 1. The $57\%$ of the subject group planned their clothing purchase in advance, ana their friends affected clothing buying behaviors more than other fashion information sources. The store in which the subject group purchased clothing most frequently was a department store. In clothing selection, hygienic factor and aesthetic factor were shown as important factors. 2, There were significant differences in clothing buying behaviors according to demographic variables.

This study researches the mechanical and dyeing properties of wool fabric treated with papain. In this study, shrinkage, water contact angle, alkali solubility, and the dyeability of wool fabric treated with papain at the optimal activity condition were measured to confirm the effect of papain treatment. The shrinkage and water contact angle of wool fabric treated with papain decreased more than the untreated wool; however, the alkali solubility and the dyeability increased. L-cysteine was more active than EDTA as an activator of papain.

The experiment was undertaken to investigate the optimum condition in the effect of seam balance on seam puckering. Four kinds of fabrics were sewed with three kinds of yarns which were used with a seam balance of 90, 100, 110 and $120\%$. In this experiment, the following conclusions were obtained; The best appearance was achieved by a seam balance of $100\~120\%$ in Cotton fabrics, $100\~110\%$ in Rayon fabrics, $110\~120\%$ in Polyester fabrics and $120\%$ in Wool fabrics after laundering.

Eco-friendly processing using enzymes has been focused in textile industry in order to reduce environmental pollutions. This paper was suggested to hydrolyze non-cellulose, such as fats and waxes in cotton fabrics by lipase treatment. Enzymatic treatment conditions were controlled according to pH, temperature, enzyme concentration, and treatment time. The physical properties of the lipase-treated cotton fabrics were evaluated by measuring weight loss, moisture regain and dyeing properties. The surface morphology of lipase-treated cotton fabrics were observed by SEM. As a result, the optimum conditions for the lipase treatment were at pH 4.2, temperature 50$^{\circ}C$, concentration 50%, and treatment time 90 minutes. Calcium chloride and Triton X-100 were effective auxiliaries in lipase treatment.

This study investigates the competitiveness of the clothing and textile industry in North Korea, compare to those of China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam from 1993 to 2010; in addition, it explores the potential cooperation between South Korea and North Korea. First, a revealed comparative advantage (RCA) was used to investigate the competitive performance of clothing and textile industry in North Korea. The results reveal that North Korea and Viet Nam had superior comparative advantages from 1993 to 2010. Second, in order to investigate the factors that affect the competitive performance, depth interviews based on Porter's Diamond of Competitive Advantage were designed and completed by government officers and practitioners working in the clothing and textile industry field. The results show that cheap labor, the stable demand of South Korea and China for basic products, lack of supporting and related industries, and organizational power highly influence the competitive performance of clothing and textile in North Korea. This result provides insight into the potential and limitations of the clothing and textile business. In addition, this study provides a better understanding of the effects of inter-Korean economic cooperation in socialist states.

This research explored the clothing behavior of dementia inpatient according to the dementia severity, dementia type and demographic characteristics. Data were collected by surveying 149 dementia inpatients and their caregivers. The collected data were analysed through frequency analysis, $X^2$-test, one way ANOVA, Duncan's multiple range test and t-test. The results were as follows: First, the dementia severity was classified into the severe, moderate and mild dementia by K-MMSE and the dementia types were composed of Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia and the others. The severe dementia group and Alzheimer's disease group included the more aged and more female inpatients. And the severe dementia group was lower self-support of the basic activities of daily living than the mild dementia group. Second, the change motions of the dementia inpatient's clothing differed from the clothing item and dementia severity. That is, the motions for pants were more difficult than those for upper garment. And the motions for severe dementia group were more difficult than those for the mild dementia group. Third, there were significant differences among the three groups by dementia severity and between the male and female dementia inpatient in the clothing behavior. Most of abnormal clothing behaviors were found in the severe dementia group. The positive clothing behaviors appeared in the mild dementia group. And interests of clothing and appearance appeared in the female inpatients.
