Development of Patterns and Clothing Prototypes for Navy Women's Dress Uniforms

摘要

Multifaceted analyses of the dimensions, components, and manufacturingtechnologies were conducted on the five U.S. Navy women's dress uniform parts in order to create new patterns and garment prototypes using recently developed anthropometric data. Inherent in these efforts were the needs to improve the fit of these uniforms components, modify the construction to permit easier and less costly alterations when necessary, and make the garments capable of being mass produced by advanced technology methods. All of these objectives were accomplished without changing the current design or appearance of the clothing.
