Abstract The purpose of this study was to propose a new size-spec. which was applied to four frontal bodytype -X, Y, A and H type-of adult women. Control dimensions of the upper garments were stature bust girth and hip girth. And those of lower garments were waist girth and hip girth. To establish the interval of the control dimensions means and standard deviations were used. By distributing the data of 486 subjects a new size-spec. was proposed. According to the new size-spec. in case of upper garments about 45.7% of subjects were covered by 37 size-speces. and lower garments about 85.9% were covered by 36 The strong point of new size-spec. is to consider the formal feature of each bodytypes. So by trying to apply the new size-spec. to rady-made garments comfort and fitness of those are satisfied.

Pattern grading is a technique used to increase or decrease the size of a garment pattern according to the measurements in a given size chart. The original pattern is graded and laid out for cutting before mass production. This study tried to classify body types for pattern grading of jacket by applying a concept of "drop"defined as the difference between chest girth and waist girth and the difference between hip girth and waist girth for pants. Data were collected through the stratified sampling method. 138 subjects were selected out of 1,290 subjects of our sample population. Findings were as follows : 1) For pattern grading of jacket, the cell with the chest girth of 96cm and the waist girth of 87cm had the highest frequency rate and body type was 87H type and the coverage of this type was 9.52%. Then, the size specification 87-96 was the center of distribution. H type had seven ones such as 72H, 75H, 78H, 81H, 84H. 87H and 90H. H type had 33 observations and frequency ratio of 26.19%. Same types could be graded up and down from the reference size for the age group. And this reference size became to the starting point for developing the grading system. 2) For pattern grading of pants, fatty types, H10 type had six ones such as 80H10. 82H10, 84H10, 86H10, 88H10 and 90H10. H10 type had 28 observations and frequency ratio of 20.29%. H6 type had 6 ones such as 84H6, 86H6, 88H6, 90H6. 92H6 and 94H6. H6 type had 27 observations and frequency ratio of 19.57%. If lower body types were classified as same ones, these types could be graded up and down proportionately.

The purpose of this study was to classify size specifications of Korean adult male for the men's ready-made garments especially jacket and dress shirts By the stratified sampling method data were collected by the real anthropometric measurement. Sample size was 263 subjects as the sample and their age range was from 36 to 43 years old 66 variables from the direct anthropometric data were applied to analyze. ANOVA is SPSSWIN 8.0 package was applied to the data and the expected frequency distribution of 10.000 men was calculated by the extraction of density function. This study was performed to classify size specificatios by the control dimensions. The drop values of 9,12 and 6 have the high coverage rate of 28.52% 23.44% respectively Obese body type ; H type HD type and HE type are composed of the majority of 55.47% of the subjects. According to the drop values size specifications and distribution of control dimensions are predicted About 69.82% of the expected frequency distribution were covered by 19 size specifications.

The purpose of this study was to classify size specifications of Korean adult male for the men's ready·made garments, especially jacket and dress shirts. Concept of the comfort and fitness has become a major concern in the basic function of the ready-made garments. Data were collected by the real anthropometric measurement and by the photographic sources. Sample size was 1.290 subjects as the sample and their age range was from 19 to 54 pean old by the stratified sampling method. 66 variables from the direct anthropometric data in total were applied to analyze. ANOVA in SAS package was applied to the data and the expected frequency distribution of 10.000 men was calculated by the extraction of density function. Control dimensions for jacket and dress shirts has been designated by Bcorean Apparel Sizing System (KS-K). Therefore this study was performed to classify size specifications by the control dimensions and at the same interval of KS-K. The drop values of 15, 12 and 9 has the high coverage rate of 22.1%, 21.0% and 18.8% respectively and are composed of the majority of 61.9% of the subjects. According to the drop values, size specifications and distribution of control and reference dimensions are predicted. About 65.75% of the expected frequency distribution without stature were covered by 19 size specification.
