Subject 8 fit for Unit Method and Experimental Metpod . 95b 1 INTRODUCTION The comfort and fit of clothing is usually a matter of importance to the wearer. Most people are concerned with how they look and feel in their clothes. Because most people's bodies vary in shape and size, clothes fit individuals differently. Various aspects of body configuration, body size, and posture affect garment fit; therefore, these three factors are concerns for clothing educators and designers. Garments should be designed and constructed to fit the body smoothly, to have the right amount of ease, and to look and feel good. This is difficult to achieve for clothing manufacturers and commercial patternmakers because there are so many different body types. It is impossible to have ready-to-wear clothing that fits every individual perfectly. However, the home sewer has the opportunity to fit the figure accurately using commercial patterns which are sized for average body measurements within a limited number of figure types. The home sewer can make alterations needed to produce correct fit. An understanding of the human figure and different figure types aids in the understanding of pattern alterations. Sheldon, Stevens, and Tucker (1970) used silhouette photography to classify body type, but it is not directly applicable to fitting garments. The original study was 2 conducted in 1940. Croney (1971) stated that of Sheldon's three body types (endomorph, mesomorph, and ectomorph), the mesomorph is used in sizing commercial garments and patterns. However, human bodies fit into one or more of the three categories rather than into this one category. Douty (1968) used somatographs, silhouette photographs taken against a gridded screen, to classify figure types according to body build and posture. The somatograph clearly showed figural and postural variations; therefore, it could be used to view the figure objectively. Much can be learned by visually analyzing body shape, posture, balance, and symmetry, all of which are evident on the somatograph. Colton (1976) suggested that, as people know more about their own.bodies, they find it easier to achieve desired fit in a garment. Somatographs provide a depersonalized representation of the human figure. The sewer should therefore be able to analyze the figure objectively and take accurate body measurements on the somatograph and the self to make correct pattern alterations. With practice, the home sewer should be able to first predict which alterations need to be made to a commercial pattern, and then carry out the alterations necessary to produce a garment that fits the body smoothly and comfortably. Traditional methods of pattern alteration use body 3 circumference and body.length m~asurements as a basis for making personal adjustments, but do not provide any basis for altering dart and seam angles. The somatograph can be used to measure the angles formed by body parts as a basis for pattern alterations, in addition to traditional circumference and length measurements taken directly from the body. The use of angle measurements in combination with traditional circumference and length measurements for pattern alterations should produce a better fitting garment. The bodice area is part of the figure that involves a variety of fitting alterations, because it contains many curves and angles depending on body build and posture (Iowa Horne Economics Association, 1977). Most traditional methods of bodice alteration dO,not include ~ethods for measuring angles, which aid in changing the slope of shoulder seam, side seam, altering the bodice back for rounded shoulders, and increasing or decreasing dart size on bodice front to accomodate the size of the bustline. Measurement of these areas is difficult, if not impossible, to make on the body. Somatographs can be used for angle measurements applied to pattern alterations. Brinson (1977) combined an angle measurement technique and traditional methods of alteration to fit the bodices of basic dress patterns and compared them to bodices altered by traditional methods alone. However, Brinson compared the fit of one person's bodice altered by 4 one method to the fit of a different person's bodice altered by a different method. Pouliot (1980) developed a method for altering pants using graphic somatometry in combination with computerized techniques by using

  • Cloth, Fashion and Revolution 'Evocative' Garments and a Merchant's Know-How: Madame Teillard, Dressmaker at the Palais-Ro
    CLOTH, FASHION AND REVOLUTION ‘EVOCATIVE’ GARMENTS AND A MERCHANT’S KNOW-HOW: MADAME TEILLARD, DRESSMAKER AT THE PALAIS-ROYAL By Professor Natacha Coquery, University of Lyon 2 (France) Revolutionary upheavals have substantial repercussions on the luxury goods sector. This is because the luxury goods market is ever-changing, highly competitive, and a source of considerable profits. Yet it is also fragile, given its close ties to fashion, to the imperative for novelty and the short-lived, and to objects or materials that act as social markers, intended for consumers from elite circles. However, this very fragility, related to fashion’s fleeting nature, can also be a strength. When we speak of fashion, we speak of inventiveness and constant innovation in materials, shapes, and colours. Thus, fashion merchants become experts in the fleeting and the novel. In his Dictionnaire universel de commerce [Universal Dictionary of Trade and Commerce], Savary des Bruslons assimilates ‘novelty’ and ‘fabrics’ with ‘fashion’: [Fashion] […] It is commonly said of new fabrics that delight with their colour, design or fabrication, [that they] are eagerly sought after at first, but soon give way in turn to other fabrics that have the charm of novelty.1 In the clothing trade, which best embodies fashion, talented merchants are those that successfully start new fashions and react most rapidly to new trends, which are sometimes triggered by political events. In 1763, the year in which the Treaty of Paris was signed to end the Seven Years’ War, the haberdasher Déton of Rue Saint-Honoré, Paris, ‘in whose shop one finds all fashionable merchandise, invented preliminary hats, decorated on the front in the French style, and on the back in the English manner.’2 The haberdasher made a clear and clever allusion to the preliminary treaty, signed a year earlier.

  • I Was Tempted by a Pretty Coloured Muslin
    “I was tempted by a pretty y y coloured muslin”: Jane Austen and the Art of Being Fashionable MARY HAFNER-LANEY Mary Hafner-Laney is an historic costumer. Using her thirty-plus years of trial-and-error experience, she has given presentations and workshops on how women of the past dressed to historical societies, literary groups, and costuming and re-enactment organizations. She is retired from the State of Washington . E E plucked that first leaf o ff the fig tree in the Garden of Eden and decided green was her color, women of all times and all places have been interested in fashion and in being fashionable. Jane Austen herself wrote , “I beleive Finery must have it” (23 September 1813) , and in Northanger Abbey we read that Mrs. Allen cannot begin to enjoy the delights of Bath until she “was provided with a dress of the newest fashion” (20). Whether a woman was like Jane and “so tired & ashamed of half my present stock that I even blush at the sight of the wardrobe which contains them ” (25 December 1798) or like the two Miss Beauforts in Sanditon , who required “six new Dresses each for a three days visit” (Minor Works 421), dress was a problem to be solved. There were no big-name designers with models to show o ff their creations. There was no Project Runway . There were no department stores or clothing empori - ums where one could browse for and purchase garments of the latest fashion. How did a woman achieve a stylish appearance? Just as we have Vogue , Elle and In Style magazines to keep us up to date on the most current styles, women of the Regency era had The Ladies Magazine , La Belle Assemblée , Le Beau Monde , The Gallery of Fashion , and a host of other publications (Decker) .

  • 1914 Girl's Afternoon Dress Pattern Notes
    1914 Girl's Afternoon Dress Pattern Notes: I created this pattern as a companion for my women’s 1914 Afternoon Dress pattern. At right is an illustration from the 1914 Home Pattern Company catalogue. This is, essentially, what this pattern looks like if you make it up with an overskirt and cap sleeves. To get this exact look, you’d embroider the overskirt (or use eyelet), add a ruffle around the neckline and put cuffs on the straight sleeves. But the possibilities are as limitless as your imagination! Styles for little girls in 1914 had changed very little from the early Edwardian era—they just “relaxed” a bit. Sleeves and skirt styles varied somewhat over the years, but the basic silhouette remained the same. In the appendix of the print pattern, I give you several examples from clothing and pattern catalogues from 1902-1912 to show you how easy it is to take this basic pattern and modify it slightly for different years. Skirt length during the early 1900s was generally right at or just below the knee. If you make a deep hem on this pattern, that is where the skirt will hit. However, I prefer longer skirts and so made the pattern pieces long enough that the skirt will hit at mid-calf if you make a narrow hem. Of course, I always recommend that you measure the individual child for hem length. Not every child will fit exactly into one “standard” set of pattern measurements, as you’ll read below! Before you begin, please read all of the instructions.

  • The Shape of Women: Corsets, Crinolines & Bustles
    The Shape of Women: Corsets, Crinolines & Bustles – c. 1790-1900 1790-1809 – Neoclassicism In the late 18th century, the latest fashions were influenced by the Rococo and Neo-classical tastes of the French royal courts. Elaborate striped silk gowns gave way to plain white ones made from printed cotton, calico or muslin. The dresses were typically high-waisted (empire line) narrow tubular shifts, unboned and unfitted, but their minimalist style and tight silhouette would have made them extremely unforgiving! Underneath these dresses, the wearer would have worn a cotton shift, under-slip and half-stays (similar to a corset) stiffened with strips of whalebone to support the bust, but it would have been impossible for them to have worn the multiple layers of foundation garments that they had done previously. (Left) Fashion plate showing the neoclassical style of dresses popular in the late 18th century (Right) a similar style ball- gown in the museum’s collections, reputedly worn at the Duchess of Richmond’s ball (1815) There was public outcry about these “naked fashions,” but by modern standards, the quantity of underclothes worn was far from alarming. What was so shocking to the Regency sense of prudery was the novelty of a dress made of such transparent material as to allow a “liberal revelation of the human shape” compared to what had gone before, when the aim had been to conceal the figure. Women adopted split-leg drawers, which had previously been the preserve of men, and subsequently pantalettes (pantaloons), where the lower section of the leg was intended to be seen, which was deemed even more shocking! On a practical note, wearing a short sleeved thin muslin shift dress in the cold British climate would have been far from ideal, which gave way to a growing trend for wearing stoles, capes and pelisses to provide additional warmth.
