This study investigated the usage of child hospital gowns to suggest a gown design suitable for child inpatients in Korea. The satisfaction on size suitability and design of child hospital gowns was surveyed among 219 child inpatients in 20 general hospitals. The most hospitals provided 2 to 4 different size pajamas for child inpatients. However, 53% of the subjects chose not to wear the uniform pants that the hospital provided and 28% did not wear the shirts. The reasons most often given for rejecting to wear the uniforms were unsuitable size (42.1%) and difficulty in taking on and off (26.2%). The dissatisfactory parts of hospital gowns were pants length (27.9%), sleeve length (19.6%), pants waist closure (16.9%), and neckline opening (11.9%). The preference in gown design for child inpatients varied by age (p〈0.5) and the styles that they had worn (p〈0.5). Significant differences for style preference were found in the opening of shirts or pants, pants waist closure type, and pants length. These results suggest that the hospital gowns for child inpatients need to reflect the wide diversity in their body size and preference in style.

This work aims at analyzing the comparative feature about female flight attendant uniform designs of Korean and Asian region low cost carriers and providing some basic materials for development of these airline companies. As a research method, examinations were carried out on attendant's uniform both theoretically and empirically. Comparison of uniforms was made among the five Korean carriers and ten typical Asian carriers for empirical research. Results showed the followings. First, all Korean low cost carriers were characterized as formal style except Jin Air. Unlike this, Asian low cost carriers appeared as diverse including formal, semi formal, and casual styles with a uniquely differentiated image. Second, all carriers applied their own symbolic color to their uniform. Third, logo or symbol was adopted as a pattern on scarf in the two Korean companies but it didn't take effect practically. For those Asian carriers, embroidery was used on jacket, jumper and collar. They utilized even a merchandising character to put emphasis on airline image. Fourth, diverse petty items with a decorative effect were used in the case of Korean low cost carriers. In the changing period of uniform, nothing much was changed and remained almost the same as before. Those in the Asian region were characterized with the smallest number of items and the preclusion of decorative add-ons on uniform.

Fascism is a term that began to be used from the late 1930s, means an idea and a system that the strong power of the state intervenes or control people's life based on the argument that the existential value of individuals is found only in the total. Fascist looks, which resulted from World War I and II, had brought a new pattern in women's fashion inspired by men's military uniforms. Thus, the purpose of this study was to identify fascist fashion trends in the first half of the twentieth century and to infer various aesthetic values of fascism expressed in fascist fashion looks. The results of this study indicated that expressions of fascism reflected the current ideology of rebellion and appealed to the original national sentiment of the masses. Fascism occurred in response to the contradiction of capitalism and its general crisis had emerged as an ideology with the highest popularity symbolizing power and government during the first half of the twentieth century. It was expressed in military looks as self-centered nationalism and yearning for minorities. Second, fascist fashion looks were not only for political and sexual temptation with the image of power but also for the display of women's status and roles through the bold expression of sexual attractiveness. Finally, fascist fashion looks expressed medieval images praising the feudal age in imagination that contained heroism and at the same time achieved integration under strict social hierarchical order.
