Abstract
This paper presents research of female body characteristics using modern computer technology with specific application of research results in clothing engineering design and customization process. Based on anthropometric survey conducted on Croatian female population, different female body types and morphology parameters that determine affiliation to a particular type were defined. Survey was conducted using 3D scanning method, in static and dynamic body positions to gain an insight of body surface deformability in motion, important for providing high level of garment fit. Using 3D flattening method, both scanned and parametric body models, customized according to particular body types, were separated into the discrete 2D surfaces determined by anatomical planes and characteristic bodily lines. Discrete body surfaces were analyzed in terms of contour shape and surface values, and differences in obtained parameters between different body types were determined. Contour shapes of flattened body segments were analyzed and compared with the standard garment construction and grading methodology.
