Abstract

The purpose of this study was to confirm the difference of garment pressure and comfort depend on age group wearing the Korean skirt-band. A loadcell was used for measuring garment pressure, and 25 female subjects were chosen for each of young, middle, and old age groups. Garment pressure was measured in front, side, and back parts of the body. The results were as follows: 1. The younger the subjects, the greater the garment pressure. This suggests that the young age group wear the Korean skirt-band more tightly than needed. 2. The measurements of the pressure in 3 parts of the body were different. In young and middle age groups, pressure decreased from side to back, while in the old age group the order was side, back, and (rent. 3. The young age group felt high restriction of pressure. And the pressure in side part of body is the greatest among the three measurement.
