This study is to investigate the KS size recognition and mother's preference of female children's apparel. The practical research is performed for 150 mothers lived in Seoul and are randomly selected to their age, female children's number, education and income level. For statistical analysis and evaluation of survey data, frequency and percentage use contingency table. Findings in this study as follow: 1. Mother's preference for purchasing the girl's garments shows the significant differences of their subject characteristics such as age, girl's number, education and income level. 2. Mother's recognition about KSK 9403: 2004 sizing system for girl's garments does not show the significant differences of their subject properties. Most mothers only know the part of the KS size specifications because KS sizing systems are complex. So KS sizing systems must be simplified and respecified to understand the KS for mothers easily when purchasing their girl's garments. In summary this paper investigates mother's preference and recognition about KS sizing system for the girl's garments.

The research is a survey and analysis of female apparel preferences, and recognition of the KS sizing system for adult female garments. The practical surveys in this research are examined by total number of subjects, 200 women who are living in Seoul, South Korea. The homogeneity test using Chi-square statistics, and the analysis of frequencies and ratios of contingency tables were performed with the data which are classified by age, education level, income level and housing modalities. The findings in this study are as follows: 1. Women's preferences for purchasing female garments indicate significant differences between subjects, such as age, education level, income level and housing modalities. Moreover, the following five types of adult female garments were analyzed in this study: upper garment, lower garment, one-piece apparel, sportswear and sleepwear. The results of the preference study show an indirect understanding of the KSK 0051 classification system for subjects of the survey. Therefore the preference study can be used as a pilot study for the sizing recognition survey. 2. Women's recognition of the KSK 0051 sizing system for adult female adult garments do not indicate significant differences based on the characteristics of age, education level, income level and housing modalities. The low recognition of the KS sizing system is due to too many details and complex numbers of application for users. Therefore, the sizing system should be simplified and rearranged to be more effective and have more recognizable categories.

The purpose of this study is to develop a size information providing model which is easy recognition and utilization for customer. This study also implemented web page to apply the size-informational model. Web page implemented using Apache Web Server and JAVA client-side scripting. Research result on the actual condition of fashion electronic commerce, most of the firms are used the old named same with period of 1980. On the same named-code, they are used different sizing systems by firms or items. Size interval is used 2~5 cm, different by firms. In the size information, is provided only named-code(55, 66 etc.) or garment size, and is confusing whether the marked is body size or garment size. Many of the marked size information were wrong. The sizing system of KS K5001(2009) is not used well. These problems are increased a lose customer and firm by return, exchange, mending-cost, stock, etc. Therefore, the problems should be improved by providing correct and detailed information of size and garment, as well as standardization of sizing systems based on KS K5001.

One of the most frequently used method for measurement of the degree of sizing (viz., hydrophobicity) is the Stockigt test. However, the Stockigt test was influenced by various factors such as dropping height, dropping amount, dropping speed and viewing angle. The resultant data of the sizing degree on the same specimen also varied according to different testers. Thus, the Stockigt test should be modified to be regarded as a highly reliable and reproducible standard method. For modifying the Stockigt test, it was required to quantify red coloration by reaction between 1％ ferric chloride and 2％ ammonium thiocyante during Stockigt testing. The cameras capturing the serial images during the red coloration process were the CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor)-type and CCD (Charge Coupled Device)-type cameras. For measurement based on KS M 7025, the CCD-type camera must be used due to its high resolution, and on the other hand, for measurement based on Tappi Useful Method 429, the CMOS-type camera may be used owing to its low resolution. It was needed to covert the RGB values of a droplet image into HSV(Hue, Saturation, and Value) values because the human eyes are much closer to HSV than RGB. Among HSV values, the Hue value was accepted as the most reliable index consistent with the red coloration process by excluding the surrounding conditions such as light, tester's movement etc.
