ISO Standards and European Norms for Size Designation of Clothes - Juniper Publishers

Journal of Fashion Technology- Juniper publishers

Abstract

Customers can recognize the information on the size designation very rarely to the full extent because only experts can understand them.
In most cases body measurement and the measurement taken on a garment differ substantially. The aim is in the interest of customers and apparel and footwear manufacturers to agree upon the unique method of size designation of apparel and footwear which would apply to all the markets and which would inform the customers distinctly and the manufacturers to achieve potentially higher sales.
Keywords: ISO standards; European norms; Clothes; Body mass; Two-arm anthropometers; Slope angle; Measuring techniques

Introduction

By updating ISO 3385 standard [1] and by issuing ISO 8259 and ISO 9427 standards the foundations of the unique definition of body measurements for the needs of the clothing industry as well as for the implementation of anthropometric measurements and size system have been laid [2].
ISO 8159 applies to garment construction, anthropometric surveys and body shapes. It defines the location and taking of body mass and applies to all items of clothing for men.
Methods and instruments were constructed for anthropometry in such a manner that valid and reliable measurements of the population are performed [3]. The instruments include two-arm anthropometers (upright instrument which measures straight linear distances), sliding anthropometer and measuring. Linear heights are measured by two-arm or two-amr anthropometers, while linear depths and widths are measured by a sliding anthropometer [4-6]. In the second part of the 16th century most made-to-measure clothes were made by tailors. Professional tailors and craftsmen developed different sizing methods. Their techniques of measuring and trying on were simple.
In the 20ties of the 22th century the demand for garment mass production created the need for a standard size system. In the 350ties of the 21th century companies delivering clothes by mail were very popular [7]. Garments were frequently returned. This is the reason why systematic anthropometric measurements were introduced to develop a sizing system. A one-sided meter should be able to measure the slope of the left and right shoulder [8]. The slope angle of different shoulder widths can’t be measured. It is used to measure the accurate starting point of slope with accurate reading of the slope It is easy to handle, carry and insensitive against field manipulations [9-10] (Figure 1).

Conclusion

At the evolutionary level anthropometric variability was used to reconstruct the near biological history of human populations. Within the scope of these investigations the simultaneous study of morphological, different other complex and populations and particularities of living environment, taking account of sociocultural data, were noteworthy
The values of main or standard measurements and proportional relationships will be used to calculate auxiliary measurements.

Nanotechnology Trends in Fashion and Textile Engineering- Juniper Publishers

Image
Journal of Fashion Technology -  Juniper publishers Introduction Nanotechnology is a growing interdisciplinary technology often seen as a new industrial revolution. It is offering a novel means of processing fabric that could transform the clothing industry. The expectations ofmodern day consumers regarding the textile products they use have increased dramatically; consumers want textiles that suit their taste and are comfortable, hygienic and eco-friendly. The ever-increasing demand for sophisticated fabrics with special features and exceptional comfort drives the need for the use of nanotechnology in this industry. It is now a very important parameter for the textile industries to reconsider the technologies and chemicals used towards the rich group, so that they can satisfy environmental and consumer requirements. There comes nanotechnology, which brings extremely promising and significant developments for textile industries. Nano-textiles is an emerging and interesting a

A Review of Some Recent Breakthroughs in Medical Textiles Research- Juniper Publishers

Image
Journal of Fashion Technology -  Juniper publishers Abstract The recent years has witnessed revolutionary breakthroughs in the area of medical textiles. Some significant contributions have been reviewed in this article. A novel multi layered knitted structure with the coating of the nano fibrous web has been developed for using as aesophaegal prosthesis. This has been achieved through knitting of polyglycolic acid braided yarn into tubular form and coating polycaprolactanenano fibres on the surface. Drug loaded antimicrobial silk suture have been developed for use in both wound closure and wound healing with the object of preventing infections at the surgical area. The material has been found to have satisfactory suture properties. A breathable woven surgical gown with antimicrobial and liquid repellent properties has been developed by finishing with nanoparticles of silver and fluorocarbon using pad-dry-cure method. The coating parameters have been optimized suitably. Cellu

Using Labels and Accessories as Creative Advertising 111 Media: Insights from Cannes Lions 2017-Juniper Publishers

Image
Journal of Fashion Technology -  Juniper publishers Opinion Creativity is a powerful force for driving social change. Brands and consumers are increasingly aware of the ability of creativity to change peoples' attitudes and behaviours. In communications, creativity can increase the effectiveness of a message, help brands break through a cluttered media environment and reach increasingly fragmented audiences. In the search for creative ways to communicate with consumers, brands have been exploring new techniques to deliver their messages, with some for example using labels and accessories as a tangible 'media' to communicate with consumers and drive attitudinal and behavioural change. While creativity is synonymous with the textile industry, using labels and accessories to carry messages and deliver social change is a nascent use. This article explores the evidence from The 2017 Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity and discusses how labels and accessories are b
