The Vacant Distance Ease Relation between Body and Garment

By using the 3D scan data, the ease relations between a standard body and a specific style of garment with various sizes are studied. The normal distance instead of the radial distance between the body surface and the garment section curves is used in calculating the ease relation between body and garment. The ease distribution is analyzed the curves of different cross sections of the body and the garment along with the changes of the body angles. This research is useful in a further investigating the fitness of the garments to human body, and it provides a test standard in the 3D simulation of fashion design. It can also be used in garment industry such as the air gap calculation for the fireproof clothing in firefighting industry.
