The 3 types of the adult women were selected as models in a way to represent the S(S1), M(S2), L(S3) the female body indices of the K. S. The models wearing the 3 types of experimental clothes were taken pictures from the front, side and back, which the pictures were used for the evaluations for the visual effects. For the evaluation, the questionaire from 12 to 18, associated with the body types and images respectively were completed and collected in an investigative way. The visual effects by the waist gathering and body size are composed body and image emerged the four factors. Conclusively, the volume of the waist gathering gives a benefit only in terms of the appropriateness in which the voluminous gatherings compensate for the defects of the body type while too much gathering leads to the negative effects. The visual effects from the increased gathering gives the impressions of the more activity with the snugness as it decreases the feminine effects. The evaluation indices like the stiffness or the masculine images might be more or less predominant in this case.

The purpose of this study is to examine closely the aesthetic characteristics featured in dandy's costume. Dandy was term used on for a man excessively fond of and overly concerned with clothes, exemplified by Beau Brummell, Lord Byron, and count d'Orsay, who greatly in gluenced men's fashions in England and France. In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century George Brummell, the prototype of the dandy, made upper-class English country clothes, especially riding clothes, into the height of men's fashion in the city. In the early 1800s the alterations he made, particularly with regard to fit and cut, established these as the critical signifiers in men's dress. Brummell's style, particularly for day, was essentially restrained and disciplined, and set a standard for sober discretion, appropriateness and taste which governed men's clothing until well into the twentieth century. The aesthetic characteristics expressed in dandy's dress are the aristocratic superiority of mind, the restrained beauty in absolute simplicity, and the pursuit of the individual beauty. Brummell's kind of dandyism instigated the idea of establishing a new kind of aritocracy, an aritocracy based on talent. Over the years this kind of cultural and social coup has been played out in different ways but has remained, like the twentieth-century concept of the avant-garde, a fundamentally male preserve. He advocated unobtrusive darkblue fitted coats, cream-colored trousers, elaborately tied cravats, absence of showy fabrics or excessive decoration, and impeccable grooming. The status of the perfectly tied cravat as the hallmark of genteel elegance, as the last keystone of Fashion's arch, had been established by Beau Brummell.

지구촌화가 가속되면서 많은 소비자들에게 해외 체류의 기회는 증가하고 있으며, 이러한 해외체류 경험은 소비자들에게 깊은 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 해외체류경험이 소비자들에게 장기적으로는 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대한 연구는 부족한 상태이다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 해외체류경험이 소비자에게 미치는 영향과 관련된 변인들과 경험에 따라 나타나는 소비자들의 일반적인 변화와 의복스타일의 변화를 고찰하였다. 연구를 위하여 해외에서 2년 이상 체류하고 귀국한지 1년이 지난 36명의 여성과 21명의 남성을 심층 면접하였다. 연구결과에 따르면, 개인적인 특성 이외에도 연령, 체류기간, 체류시 활동, 문화의 차이 등이 장기적인 변화의 유무와 관련이 깊은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 정체성의 재발견, 다양성의 추구, 확대된 집단의식이 공통적으로 나타난 일반적인 변화였다. 쇼핑과 관련되어서는 주로 여성들에게서 변화가 감지되었는데, 여성들은 자신을 가치를 추구하고 다양한 브랜드와 제품의 지식을 지닌 소비자로 느끼고 있었으며, 자신만의 고유한 스타일을 가지고 시간과 장소, 상황은 물론 주위의 자연 환경과 어울리는 유연한 의복스타일을 강조하는 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과는 또한 한국문화의 특이성이 해외체류경험의 영향에 배경 이 된다는 것을 시사하였다.

매스 커스터마이제이션 생산 방식이 국내외 의류산업에서 새로운 제조방식으로 확산되고 있다. 특히 국가별로 MTM, 이지오더(Easy-order) 등의 명칭으로 기성복에 소비자 체형을 반영하는 노력이 끊임없이 진행되고 있다. 유니폼은 지속적인 착용과 재구매가 예상되는 의류아이템이므로 이에 대한 사이즈 적용이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국내 유니폼 생산에 이지오더 시스템 방식을 도입하기 위하기 위한 사이즈 포지셔닝 시스템을 제공하고 다양한 사이즈에 맞는 의복 패턴을 제작하기 위하여 양방향 그레이딩 방식을 제안하였다. 연구결과로는 첫째, 5차 사이즈코리아 측정치를 이용하여 키와 가슴둘레에 대한 교차분석을 실시하여 다빈도 구간을 유니폼 사이즈 구간으로 설정하였다. 둘째, 인체측정치에 대한 요인 분석을 실시하여 높이, 둘레, 어깨요인으로 분류하였으며 둘레와 어깨요인을 통합하여 높이와 둘레로 측정항목을 이원화하였다. 셋째, 요인분석 결과로 이원화된 높이와 둘레항목을 각각 키와 젖가슴둘레를 독립변수로 회귀분석을 실시하였으며 회귀계수를 활용한 그레이딩룰을 산출하였다.
