Title
Clothing Pressure Evaluation of Girdle and Waist Nipper and Related Wearing Conditions
 
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the adequate clothing pressure of upper and lower body foundation garment and subjective assessment of those compressive foundation depending on various wearing conditions. Eighteen women in their 30s and 40s participated in the experiments for this study to evaluate the level of clothing pressure of girdle and waist nipper. Subjects were divided into two groups by the wearing habits of foundation, one is the group of wearing foundation garment ``tightly`` and the other is ``loosely``, It was found that the group wearing foundation garment ``loosely`` was much more sensitive than the group of ``tightly`` in everyday life. The adequate pressure of upper foundation, waist nipper was about 1.5±0.8 kPa which is lower than that of the lower body foundation, girdle. And at the same time, the sensitivity of the pressure level was higher when subjects are wearing waist nipper compared with wearing girdle. Therefore, precise pattern making process is necessary to meet the adequate level of pressure of the upper body foundation such as waist nipper, specially for those who used to wear clothing loosely.
