소비자의 기성복 착용은 이미 보편화되어 있지만 일정한 치수체계에 맞추어 생산, 유통되는 기성복은 치수체계의 범위가 한정되어 있어 해당치수체계의 범위에 속하지 못한 소비자들은 자신에게 잘 맞는 치수의 기성복 구입에 어려움을 겪는다. 또한 20대 여성의 체형은 과거의 체형과는 많이 달라진 양상을 보이지만 국내 의류업체의 바지 치수규격은 여전히 한정된 치수만을 생산하고 있어 20대 여성의 체형에 적합한 바지의 생산범위에 한계가 있는 것으로 조사되고 있다. (중략)

산업화로 인한 급속한 경제성장과 증가하는 여성들의 사회진출은 의생활에서 보다 편 하고 간소화된 생활양식을 추구하게 되고, 이에따라 의복의 구입에 있어서도 맞춤복보다 는 시간, 경제면에서 유리한 기성복을 선호하게 되었다. 불특정다수를 위한 기성복의 생산에 있어서 개개인의 체형에 보다 적합성이 좋은 제품의 개발을 위해 다수인의 다항 목계측치에 근거한 치수체계의 설정은 무엇보다 중요한 문제가 된다. 우리나라에서는 1979년 공업진흥청에 의해 제 1차 국민표준체위조사가 실시되었으며, 1986년에는 제 2차 조사가 실시되어 그 결과를 토대로 한국 공업규격의 의류치수 규격이 제정 발표되었다. 그러나 이것은 연령에 따른 신체적 변화를 고려한 체형분류가 되어 있지 않으며, 제품 호수에 따라 동일한 간격을 둔 체계였다. 1992년에는 제 3차 국민표준체위조사가 실시 되어 그 결과가 발표되었다. 의복은 인체계측에 의한 신체 각 부위의 치수와 형태를 기초로 2차원적인 소재에 적절한 원형을 사용하여 재단, 봉제과정을 거쳐 3차원의 입체 로 구성하고 인체에 대응시킨 것이므로 기성복에 대하여 소비자의 치수적합성을 만족시 키기 위해서는 체형의 특징을 고려해야 할 것이다. 특히, 성장이 완료된 성인 여성은 출산후 중년에 접어들면서 신체적 특성이 변하여 체형이 바뀌는 경향이 있으므로 전 여성에대한 의류치수규격보다는 연령의 구분과 체형의 분류가 필요하다고 본다. 더우기 의류업체들의 판매대상의 세분화는 이를 더욱 뒷받침해주고 있다. 따라서 체형의 분류는 의복 치수 규격에 적용되어 의복의 종류에 따라 대다수의 불특정 다수 에게 보다 잘 맞는 의복 치수를 제공할 것이며, 그 치수의 정확성을 증대시키게 된다. 김성득(1991)은 소비자의 기성복에 대한 구매확률을 높이기 위해서는 규격치를 등간격 으로 하기 보다는 소비자의 분포밀도가 높은 곳일수록 규격치 간격들을 좁게 설정함으 로써 생산자 입장에서 총손실을 줄이고, 상대적 비용절감효과를 갖게할 수 있다고 하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 성인 여성기성복의 치수적합성을 높이기위하여 출산 후 중년에 접어 들면서 체형이 변화되는 것을 고려하여 연령을 분류하고(18세-34세, 30세-51세), 각 연령 집단에 따른 체형을 각각 3가지로 분류하였다. 이에 따라 의복 생산시의 총손실을 줄이기위한 상의, 하의생산시 필요한 부위별 최적규격치 간격을 제시하였다.

This study was initiated to study suitability of the apparel sizing systems that utilized in women's ready-to-wear market. To achieve this, the researchers surveyed 383 women from the ages of 18 through 59. The result of this study are followed. 1) The targeted age of the apparel brand does not always correspond with the purchaser's age. The subjects tend to prefer the brands targeting younger women than their age. The women who prefer the brand targeting younger women than their age were less satisfied with the jacket size available in Korean apparel market. They also took into consideration their body size. 2) The subjects who prefer the brands aimed for younger women were dissatisfied with fit at waist and hips. 3) The result of this study also shows that the more sizes are needed for short and tall women. The subjects pointed out that hips of the pants gave worst fit. 4) KS standard size designation system which listed body measurements bust-hips stature was not well known to the consumers.

The purpose of this study was to develop men's garment sizing system, based on the anthropometric measurements called 'SizeKorea', which was surveyed between 2003 and 2004. The number of the survey subjects was 3,215 of males, who were from 18 to 69 years old. In the results, body types were assorted by drops, consisting of 4 upper body types and 2 lower body types. Height, chest, waist and hip were selected as the key dimensions of sizing system and the intervals of them were decided on statistical analysis of key dimensions, size intervals of ready-to wear clothes and sizing systems of other countries. In the results, older group or shorter height group had less differences between chest and waist as well as between waist and hip, but younger group and taller group had more differences. The size intervals for fitted jacket and coat were 3cm in chest and waist, while the intervals for fitted pants were 2cm in waist and hip. The intervals for not-fitted clothes were 5cm in chest, waist and hip, which 5 cm interval of height were applied, in all cases.

The manufacturer first identifies a target market before developing a sizing chart. A target market is specific for age or figure type. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the suitability of sizing system of women's apparel brand in Korea. For this purpose, the characteristics of the manufacture's sizing chart for jacket and skirt/pants were analyzed. For each brand, the target age of the brand and the age of consumers who preferred that bland were compared. The size charts collected from 27 women's apparel brands were analyzed and compared with Korean industrial standard sifting chart. The results of this study reviled that the body proportion in many manufacturer's sizing chart does not correspond to the body types in Korean industrial standard sizing chart. This trend was apparent for the short figure sizes made for women 155cm in height. There is a difference between the target age in brand concept and the age of consumer preferring to purchase that brand apparel. The age of fitting models usually does not correspond the customer's age. It was concluded that the age of target customer does not go well with the age of brand concept nor the fitting model age caused fit problem of the women's ready-made clothes.

The purpose of the study was to suggest ways of improvement of the present sizing systems for the middle aged women's clothing. For this, a questionnaire survey for the aged group and calculating coverage rate of one garment item(suit) between the companies has been carried out. The data was analyzed with use of SPSS package. The statistics were based o frequency, X2-test, t-test and one-way ANOVA. The results of the study was as follows: 1. In case of survey for middle aged women, the problems concerning the length and abdominal girth were found, that is to say, the former too long and the latter too tight. 2. The sizing systems between companies were very different in size classification and standard deviation of each sizes. 3. In calculating coverage rate of the 10 companies's sizing systems, coverage rate of the smallest size in each were the highest and those of the biggest were 0%. It means the standard deviation of the present sizing systems are not enough to cover the various body form of the middle aged women, so that the more diverse sizing system is required for the better fitness of middle aged women's clothing.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a sizing system of ready-to-wear clothes for middle-school girls. Results of the study are as follows. 1. Results of the survey revealed most middle-school girls preferred garments for women like unisex-casual and young-casual, and prioritized overall style and design over sizing issues. However, when they purchased clothes, they were dissatisfied with the poor fit of ready-to-wear clothing, which is a little too big for average middle-school girls. 2. There is a difference between a brand's target age and its average consumer age. $96.7\%$, of respondents purchased clothes from unisex-casual and young-casual brands, which sizes did not fit for them. Most of these brands had female adults ages 18 to 24 as their targets, whose somatotypes do not correspond with those of girls 12 to 15 years old. 3. Body measurements of those in age groups from 12 to 15 and from 10 to 24 were analyzed to identify physical differences between middle-school girls and female adults, which confirmed the relevance of different sizing systems for each age group. As a result, it is undesirable that middle school girls' clothes are designed in accordance with sizing system for female adults' garments. 4. Using the two-wav distribution of middle school girls' stature-bust circumference for upper garments, and stature-waist circumference for lower garments, this study establishes a sizing system in sections of high frequency. The size intervals of stature and circumference were 5cm and 3cm respectively.

The society advance of a development of the science technique and women from the industrialization, women prefered the tailor-made clothes to the convenient ready-made clothes in the aspect to be economic and save time in the clothing habits. After marriage, middle age women change the comparison of their body due to the pregnancy and birth, the body girth of them increases compared with young woman, the winding of the waist comes to be small and they show the feature of body which the vibration thickness and the brachial girth grows bigger. The reason is that the problem on the fitness of the ready-made clothes comes into being. According to this result which analyzes a ready-made clothes body of the jacket-brand which does the middle age woman to the target in research, actual purchasing age appears than the age which most companies do to the target so that it is high, and though the body is divided in KS standard, the measurement distinguished without the body and most companies were producing the jacket. There was many case to select a fitting model Among a designer or within firm employee with the similar body and measurement. It was revealed that high rate of mending relation of a sale jacket of the company. Research about the body of the ready-made clothes is thought by continuing over there.
