The purpose of this paper is to identify the characteristics of three-dimensional shape of flared-skirts by employing a three-dimensional shape measuring equipments designed for this study. To achieve this purpose, this study examines the effects of hem-line shape of flared-skirts by using different flare ratio, that is, waist size and skirt length remain constant while hem-line varies from 3 times to 5 times the waist size, respectively. The skirts were constructed by three kinds of fabrics under the same conditions. The wave-height in the shape of hem-line tended to increase as the flare ratio increased. The number of nodes highly was correlated with the flare ratio, but significant differences were little shown in the types of samples. As a result, it was found that as the flare ratio increased, regularity and uniformity of node seemed to be diminished. The silhouette index and calculated silhouette angle of skirt were smaller as the amount of flare increased. It should be noted that the silhouette index and silhouette angle were represented as the ratio of a width of skirt appeared under the shapes of hem-line and that the silhouette angles were obtained by measuring the angles of a side line. Finally, it was concluded that the increase in the flare ratio had an effect on those in the shape of hem-line and silhouette of flared-skirt.
