In this paper, we examined the trend information collected by apparel industries to develop fashionable products. We also investigated the product development process of a swimwear industry, ELLE Swimwear, through in-depth interviews. The results are as follows; 1. The apparel industries were collecting information about a fashion trend, international exhibitions and fairs, world collections, and a market trend to develop fashionable products. 2. As the swimwear consumers are spreaded in all ages, the launching of more specialized swimwear brand with ages is required. 3. These days, swimwear is not only an item of sportswear but also being a fashionable product on street. Therefore, the industries should try to develop a various assortment of swimwear capable of coordinating with multi-mix instead of developing a separate item. 4. To design and produce swimwear satisfying functional, sensual and cultural performance, the development of new materials and patterns are required. 5. Nurturing of swimwear pattern specialists dealing with CAD is urgently required. 6. Turning of understanding about the importance of VMD and more attractive marketing strategies by a specialized team are also required.

In this study the swimwear pattern focused on a typical middle-aged women's body was developed and discussed. To determine the characteristics of a typical middle-aged women's body, their actual bust were cast. According to a generated flattened body surface shell, the right side of pattern was designed considering stretching ratio of swimwear materials as shown in the figure 3. Special features of the developed swimwear pattern are a bust dart, a particularly designed lining, a power-net, and a brassiere-cup. Against a commercial swimwear pattern, the darts were applied to bust area considering its volume. The lining was attached on the entire right side except brassiere part, and power-net was added twice on belly and hip part. As a result, silhouette and body shape were improved. The new brassiere-cup was designed and made to satisfy the middle-aged women's demand about their bust volume. Swimwear fitting test was performed, and it was evaluated. The developed swimwear rated activity, body support, entire silhouette, pressure, comfortable fitting, suitability with body figure, nudity higher by comparison with a commercial swimwear, as shown in the Table 6. Specially the developed swimwear satisfied future customers about a bust, a hip, a waist, a belly area, which the middle-aged women are not confident. Reducing exposure of an armhole and upper leg area, it also satisfied them. New developed swimwear pattern will provide useful reference to swimwear businesses targeting middle-aged women.

The purpose of this study was to examine the design characteristics of women's swimwear from 1955 to 1969 in Korea using documentary research sources. Both visual and linguistic elements found in the illustrations and advertisements that appeared in periodicals from 1955 to 1969 were used as primary sources. The primary sources were 아리랑, 여상, 여성계, 여성동아, 여원, 주부생활. The methods of content analysis and frequency seriation were combined to analyze the data obtained from the primary sources. Seriational analysis of the data were performed by ordering the frequency chronologically for the entire fifteen-year period. As the result of the study, it was found that the design of the swimwear during this period changed consistently in terms of swimwear type, shape of thigh line, textile design and decorative details. The degree of skin exposure was also continuously increased in different body parts.

적극적인 여가 시간의 활용으로 생활 스포츠와 관련된 스포츠 패션은 계속 발전되고 있다. 이에 비하여 국내 수영복 산업 분야는 특화된 트렌드 분석과 디자인 개발 등에서 타 영역에 비하여 앞서 가지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구는 국내 수영복 디자인의 사회 문화적 배경에 따른 디자인 트렌드를 고찰하여 현대복식사적인 흐름의 연구와 함께 패션 디자인 요소를 분석하여 수영복 디자인 개발을 위한 기초 연구 자료를 제공하는데 목적이 있다. 연구범위로는 1960년대부터 2014년 최근까지의 수집된 국내 수영복 브랜드의 상품 카탈로그 138권과 웹 사이트 8종의 1004스타일 자료에서 수영복 착장 사진 총 9,549개를 분석 대상으로 선정하여 이미지에 나타난 실루엣, 소재, 색상, 텍스타일 디자인 등의 조형적 특성을 분석하는 방법으로 진행하였다. 연구결과 사회 문화적 변화의 주기가 짧아지고, 트렌드가 다양화됨에 따라 수영복의 디자인도 변화의 폭이 커졌음을 알 수 있었다. 특히, 컬러와 텍스타일 디자인의 다양한 콘셉트 전개가 두드러졌다. 또한, 기술적으로는 신소재의 개발과 원단 프린팅 기술의 발전으로 착용감은 더욱 향상시키면서도 디자인의 구현이 용이한 방향으로 발전하고 있다고 할 수 있다. 이상 연구의 결과는 국내 시장에서의 수영복 디자인 개발에 기본 자료로서 활용 가능할 것이다.

본 연구에서는 유방암 환자를 위한 중년여성용 래쉬가드 수영복의 치수체계와 패턴을 제안하였다. 첫째, 유방암 환자가 선호하는 수영복 디자인을 선정하기 위해서 37명의 유방암 환자를 대상으로 한 설문조사를 통해 가슴이 두드러지지 않고 노출이 적은 래쉬가드의 수영복이 디자인되었으며, 이는 캡이 삽입되기 쉽고 캡이 고정되는 주머니 형태를 갖고 있다. 둘째는, 유방암 환자용 수영복을 위한 치수체계를 개발하였다. 이를 위해 대표사이즈를 젖가슴둘레, 엉덩이둘레, 몸통세로둘레로 정하고, 30~69세의 여성 1625명에 대한 사이즈 코리아의 직접 측정 데이터를 사용하여 교차분석을 실시하였다. 이를 통해 3차원 각 셀의 출현율을 기반으로 유방암 환자 수영복을 위한 17개의 사이즈를 설정하였으며, 중심사이즈를 젖가슴둘레 90cm-엉덩이둘레 95cm-몸통 세로둘레 150cm로 정하였다. 셋째는, 유방암 환자용 수영복 중심사이즈 패턴 개발을 하였다, 이를 위해 먼저 1차 중심사이즈 패턴을 제작하고, 그 후 2차, 3차 수정을 거쳐 패턴을 완성하였다. 각 패턴제작 단계마다 실험의를 제작하여 착용피트성 및 동작적합성 평가를 실시함으로써 최적의 패턴제작을 위한 각 치수항목의 축소율을 구했으며, 이를 반영하여 유방암 환자용 래쉬가드 수영복 패턴을 개발하였다.

Considerable number of women are enjoying swimming, however, the chest-region of swimsuits including cup inserts are not stable during swimming. The purpose of this study was to explore alternate designs and methods of stabilizing the breast cup to the swimmer's body by using 3D technology to design and position the pad and cup pattern of the swimming suit. To position the pad optimally, a 3D pattern of a nude woman was divided into blocks and different reduction rates were applied to blocks around the outlines of the breast. Two types of 3D patterns were developed. The first, referred to as the 'basic 3D pattern' provided for the curved surface of the breast point to be maintained with the remaining slack distributed evenly along the neckline, armhole and side seam. The second, referred to as the '1/3 shoulder moved 3D pattern' ignored the curved nature of the breast point by overlapping, with the resulting position of the shoulder strip moved toward the center. Three women of corresponding size and body shape evaluated the two 3D pattern designs as well as the conventional 2D pattern style of swimsuit. Respondents rated the'the basic 3D pattern' design highest in terms of stability and easy of movement in the chest region.
