The purpose of this study is to identify the effects of college students' relationship status on their clothing behavior and purchasing process. The subjects of this study were college students. After a survey, 113 questionnaires were used for the data analysis excluding incomplete ones. Factor analysis, paired t-test, Pearson's correlation, one-way ANOVA, MANOVA and Chi-square test were conducted. The data analysis found that female students had higher levels of clothing interest, and fashion-seeking, impulse buying and individuality-seeking motives than male students. Female students who had boyfriends showed particularly higher levels of fashion-seeking and impulse-buying motives. Throughout the clothing purchase process stages, students were most influenced by girlfriend/boyfriend, especially in the evaluation stage. Students who had girlfriends/boyfriends were significantly more influenced by them. Female students were more influenced by parents at the evaluation stage and their female friends at the information search stage.

This study analyzes how the eco-friendly attitude and benefits pursued in clothing influence the purchase satisfaction of eco-friendly consumers for infants and children's underwear. The survey was conducted from June $1^{st}$ to $20^{th}$ in 2009, and 303 responses were used in the data analysis. A frequency analysis, factor analysis, reliability analysis, and multiple regression analysis were conducted for the statistical analysis. The results show that the eco-friendly attitude is classified by environmental concern, awareness of environmental consumption, and participation in the environmental movement. The benefits pursued in clothing are classified by fashion pursuit, brand pursuit, functional pursuit, personality pursuit, and economical pursuit. The awareness of the environmental consumption factor in the eco-friendly attitude influences the purchase satisfaction of eco-friendly consumers for infants and children's underwear. The fashion, brand, functional, and personality benefits pursued in clothing effect the purchase satisfaction of eco-friendly consumers for infants and children's underwear.

The purpose of this study is for development textile design and making fabric actually for dementia patients hospital clothing using symbol which has social care meaning. For achievement the aim, process and research methods were as follows. First the symbol design was developed. Second the symbol was applied as textile design for dementia patients hospital clothing. Symbol design was under processed with a letter 'Alzheimer' and meanings as like 'love', 'happiness' 'care' 'hope' and 12 design samples were developed by CAD and photoshop. Total 15 evaluation members chose 2 design samples. The 2 design sample were practically arrangement 7 textile design pattern with ground different colors. And finally 3 design pattern and 3 colorway were selected and add white ground. Totally 7 textile design was printed on 100% cotton, 20 yarn count, 1/2 twill. Therefore this new textile design for dementia patient's hospital clothing can be used in medical clinically and the symbol can be use for daily care item for the patients more comfort and high quality in their lives in hospital.

Mother's Clothing Behavior has a great influence on her daughter's Clothing Behavior. . Daughters are apt be influenced by their mothers in every respect and were greatly affected by the clothing behaviors of mothers to whom they pay their respect. From this point, this study is to examine the relationship between daughter's clothing behavior and their mother's clothing behavior. Two questionnaires were administered to 459 mother and 459 daughter selected from 4 universities in Seoul. The questionnaires were composed of two major categories: those for daughters and for mothers. Aspects of clothing behavior consist of seven variables such as modesty, decency, aesthetic, display, attention, fashion, conformity. For the analytical study on data, methods through coefficients of correlation, analysis of variance, multiple regression analysis were used. The results of this study were summerized as follows; There was significant relationship between daughter's clothing behavior and her mother's clothing behavior, i.e., Clothing behavior formation of daughter was most important influenced by mother's clothing behavior.

The study is undertaken to utilize the computer in pattern making for women. The automation by the use of computer provides the higher accuracy and efficiency in pattern making. GIGI Graphic Terminal is used for pattern making. The results are as follows: 1. Basic points which can be connected to depict basic pattern are represented on the X-Y co-ordinates. 2. Body measurements for bodice and sleeve pattern are as follows: For bodice pattern: center back waist length, bust girth, and shoulder width. For sleeve pattern: arm hole length, wrist girth, and sleeve length. 3. Grading of standard size was accomplished by using same method.

Interests in creating three-dimensionally designed fabric materials are growing rapidly in the sectors of the fashionable textiles with the creativity, new functions, and aesthetics. A number of finishing methods have been developed and proposed to add or create new functions and designs for silk fabrics. Due to the strong hydrogen bonds between the molecules of silk fibroins, the thermal treatment methods used in thermoplastic fiber processing, which can easily deform the synthetic filament fabrics to endow three-dimensional appearance to the fabrics, are not applicable to the silk fabric treatment. In order to modify the fine structure of silk fiber, neutral salt solution treatment methods have been suggested. In this study, the effect of the calcium nitrate solution on the physical and mechanical properties of silk fabrics was investigated by using the KES(Kawabata Evaluation System) equipment. Based on these findings, relationships between parameters, for example, the thickness and the compressional energy, the thickness and the compressional linearity, and the air permeability and the pore area statistical analysis were investigated. The relationships between the process parameters such as treatment temperature/time and the resulting fabric property parameters were also analyzed by using several SAS procedures.
