ISBN: 1628922303
Category : Design
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
This step-by-step introduction to grading combines the theory of pattern grading with its practical applications. After presenting the x, y orientation to familiarize readers with the concepts of computer grading and using the Cartesian graph, the text takes a holistic approach, integrating anthropometry, size specifications, and grade guides into the grading process for women's garments with emphasis on maintaining fit and style sense. Concepts are also applicable to grading men's and children's patterns. The 3rd Edition is user friendly, with completed grading charts and practice exercises in every chapter. The text has been updated with current sizing and industry classification standards. New to this Edition: - Expanded discussion of computer grading technology including Optitex, Gerber, Lectra, and Tukatech software - 20% new end of chapter exercise questions - More coverage of grading pants with new illustrations - New grading design variations for the skirt back grade, two dart bodice front, bodice with midriff, bodice with yokes, asymmetrical styles, skirts with pockets,and the two-piece sleeve - Added discussion of stack points, full grade and half grade - New Test Bank with terminology testing, t/f, multiple choice, and an answer key
Sizing in Clothing

Book Description
The basic concepts behind sizing systems currently used in the manufacture of ready-to-wear garments were originally developed in the 19th century. These systems are frequently based on outdated anthropometric data, they lack standard labelling, and they generally do not accommodate the wide variations of body sizes and proportions that exist in the population. However, major technological improvements have made new population data available worldwide, with the potential to affect the future of sizing in many ways. New developments in computer-aided design and sophisticated mathematical and statistical methods of categorizing different body shapes can also contribute to the development of more effective sizing systems. This important book provides a critical appreciation of the key technological and scientific developments in sizing and their application.The first chapter in the book discusses the history of sizing systems and how this has affected the mass production of ready-to-wear clothing. Chapters two and three review methods for constructing new and adapting existing sizing systems, and the standardisation of national and international sizing systems. Marketing and fit models are reviewed in chapter four whilst chapter five presents an analysis of the grading process used to create size sets. Chapters six and seven discuss fit and sizing strategies in relation to function, and the communication of sizing. Mass customization and a discussion of material properties and their affect on sizing are addressed in chapters eight and nine. Military sizing and the aesthetics of sizing are detailed in chapters ten and eleven. The final chapter reviews the impact on sizing of production systems and specifications.Written by an international team of contributors, this book is an essential reference to researchers, designers, students and manufacturers in the clothing and fashion industry. - Provides a critical appreciation of key technological and scientific developments in sizing and their application - Discusses how developments in sizing affect the mass production of ready to wear clothing - Reviews methods of constructing new and adapting existing sizing systems

Investigation of the Pattern Grading Assumptions Used in the Sizing of U.S. Women's Clothing for the Upper Torso

Book Description
The author of this thesis suggests that the U.S. women's sizing system for clothing is not meeting the needs of the population. The grading process, used by clothing manufacturers to create garments in a range of sizes for production, has not been addressed. Grade rules, increments between garment measurements, should be directly related to increments between body measurements for different sizes. The major research questions addressed the relationship of grading to sizing and the basis for both sizing and grading practices. This research focused on patterns and fit for the women's upper torso. Sizing charts dating from 1873 through 2000 were examined. The increments between sizes were calculated for each measurement and compared across time. This research concluded that the method by which manufactured garments are sized (grading) has little relationship to sizing measurements. Grading is primarily based on the premise that the changes to the measurements of the garment are set increments and proportions. In addition, many elements of the garment pattern were expected to have constant relationships.
