Nowadays, the use of apparel CAD system is important to the mass production of ready to wear. Especially, computer-based grading is the most important process to improve the fitness of clothes and to reduce the time needed to make various size pattern. The purpose of this study was to suggest a standard sizing system for high school boys' pants and to suggest a grading method according to the sizing systems. The subjects were 217 high school boys of 16 to 18 year-old. The size intervals of waist girth and hip girth were 3 cm and 4 cm respectively. The sizing system, which had frequencies more than 4%, was classified 8 cases. Among them, 71-92 and 71-88 size were the most frequent size and were adopted the basic size for the two types of grading. According to the sizing system, hand-made patterns were manufactured. By measure of the each part of the slacks, 4 size's new grading-rule patterns were developed by each size. This result will contribute to clothing fitness of consumer and the amount of production.

The purpose of this study were to develop snow-board lower wear with improved functionality. The study consisted of figure out appropriate ease amount of snow-board lower wear and make products by applying it to pattern design. The results of this study were as follows: On the basis of the analysis of snow-board lower wear on market, 2 pieces of experimental snowboard lower wear were designed, produced, and evaluated the patterns of with different ease, and snowboard lower B for experiment was proved to be better. Snowboard lower wear was produced and evaluated for experiment 2 by giving additional ease to specific parts. Therefore experiment 2 was presented pattern, ease, and size of snowboard lower wear with improved functionality. Sizes and ease of snow-board lower wear for presentation. waist circumference - 96.0cm(l6.4cm, 17.1%); hip circumference - 127.0cm(31.3cm, 24.4%); pants length - 112.0cm(9.6cm, 8.6%); crotch length - 90.0cm(26.8cm, 36.4%); thigh circumference - 78.0cm(23.4cm, 30.0%); knee circumference - 62.0cm(24.7cm, 39.8%); turnup circumference - 62.0cm(36.0cm, 58.1%).

This study focusses pattern draft and grading of jeans for women in their 20s, who consume jeans the most. Pattern was drafted based on existing patterns collected from companies. It is different from the existing educational patterns. It suggests new sizing system for twenties referring to sizes used companies and grading rule and method. he results were as follows; 1. Companies manufacture 2-8 sizes and they referred to the Korean Industrial Standards, KS K 0051, for their sizing system. 2. Drawing method for Pattern of the study had following measurements for each part: in the case of waist circumference, front part was W/4+1.5cm, back part was W14+2cm, front hip circumference was H/4-1.5cm, crotch line was the crotch length (practical measurement), hip circumference was (upper crotch line length)/5+0.5cm, front crotch part was 2.7cm, back crotch part was W/5+2.7cm, knee height was (the length of leg)/2+6cm and the circumference of knee and the tip of pants were 40cm. Through the wearing test on the subject of twenties, researched pattern received higher ratings, especially in appearance than the existing pattern. 3. 5 sizes system was made referred to the sizing system of companies and National Anthropometric Survey of Korean in 1997 Grading rule for 12 grading points of front part and 13 grading points of back part was suggested.

남성 속옷은 신체 보호의 기능이 중요하지만 운동이나 거실 생활에서 속옷노출이 일반화됨에 따라 개성과 이미지를 표현할 수 있는 패션 아이템으로 변화되고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 남성 속옷 시장에서 소비자가 원하는 감성과 이미지를 파악하고 소비자가 선호하는 감성요구에 부합하는 소재 특성이 데이터베이스로 만들어져 소비자가 원하는 속옷 제품개발이 이루어지는 시스템의 구축이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 남성용 속옷 문양디자인 개발을 위한 목적으로 남성 트렁크 팬티용 문양의 감성 이미지를 파악하고자 하였다. 본 연구를 위하여 시판하는 트렁크 팬티 중 문양의 형태 및 크기, 색상을 달리한 50 종을 수집하였고, 이중 25 종의 트렁크 팬티용 문양 이미지에 대한 주관적 감성평가를 2009년 4 월 부산지역에 거주하는 20 대 남녀 22 명을 대상으로 실시하였다. 주관적 감성평가를 위해 직물 문양 선호도에 관한 선행연구를 바탕으로 빈번하게 출현되는 26 개의 감성 형용어를 추출하였다. 감성 형용어를 7 점 척도로 문항화하여 설문지를 구성하고 설문지와 함께 25 종의 팬티 자극물을 보고 평가하도록 하였다. 수집한 자료의 통계분석을 위해 SPSS Win 12.0을 사용하여 빈도분석, 카이제곱 검정, 요인분석 분간분석 사후분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구결과 남성용 트렁크 팬티의 문양에 관한 감성 형용에는 '고급성', '활동성', '단순성', '호화성', '성숙성'의 요인으로 요약되었으며, 문양의 고급 감성 및 활동적 스타일이 트렁크 팬티 선호도에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 트렁크 팬티의 색상 및 문양 유형이 선호도에 중요한 영향을 미치는 변수로 나타났는데, 남성 트렁크 팬티에 사용될 수 있는 무채색 계열의 고급스러우면서 단순한 도형 문양 디자인의 개발이 필요하다고 하겠다.
