Effect of waistline position of clothing on perceived attractiveness
We investigated the effects of the relationship between the waistline of clothing and the body on the appearance of clothing using a sensory test with Japanese and British participants. Using a three-dimensional clothing simulator, an avatar and five dresses with different clothing waistline (CWL) parameters were created. Evaluation by Japanese participants revealed that a dress for which the CWL position fit the body waistline (BWL) of the wearer was evaluated as being unwrinkled, while the dress with a higher CWL position was evaluated as constricted, slim, and beautiful. However, British participants evaluated dresses for which the CWL position fit the wearer’s BWL and the CWL was 1 cm higher than the wearer’s BWL; these dresses were evaluated as slim, and having a beautiful silhouette. Therefore, the results suggested that there is a specific type of waistline for clothing that is perceived as the most attractive, and this differs between Japanese and British participants. When designing a dress, it is necessary to identify the most suitable position of the waistline to maximize attractiveness, taking into account the consumers’ Kansei in each country
Prediction of bending rigidity for laminated fabric with adhesive interlining by a laminate model considering tensile and in-plane compressive moduli
The purpose of this study is to predict bending rigidity of laminated fabric with adhesive interlining considered tensile and in-plane compressive moduli. The predicting method considering those moduli was proposed by theoretical derivation based on laminate model. Tensile and in-plane compressive moduli of neutral surface for face fabric and adhesive interlining respectively before laminating and modulus for bending rigidity were considered independently. The calculating equation for in-plane compressive modulus was proposed from the relationship between bending rigidities and tensile properties. The proposed predicting method was verified experimentally. Bending rigidities, tensile properties and thicknesses of adhesive interlinings, face fabrics and laminated fabrics with adhesive interlinings were measured by KES-FB system. The in-plane compressive moduli of adhesive interlinings were calculated by the proposed equation with the results of tensile properties for face fabrics. With the results of tensile and in-plane compressive moduli, the bending rigidities of laminated fabric with adhesive interlinings were calculated. The predicted bending rigidities considered with measured tensile properties and calculated in-plane compressive moduli were precisely closer to experimental results than the ones of the laminated model from our previous study. Therefore, this model gives a new way to predict bending rigidity of laminated fabric with adhesive interlining.ArticleTEXTILE RESEARCH JOURNAL. 82(4):385-399 (2012)journal articl

Verification of prediction for bending rigidity of woven fabric laminated with interlining by adhesive bonding
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of pressing on bending rigidities of the face fabric, adhesive interlining and bonded composite fabric and verify the prediction method for bending rigidity of those. Predicting methods of bending rigidity for composite with face fabric and adhesive interlining based on laminated theory were verified with measured bending rigidities and thickness of samples. Bending rigidities and thicknesses of woven fabrics, adhesive interlinings and composites with those were measured by the KES-FB system. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film was used for measuring mechanical properties of pressed adhesive interlining. Bending rigidities of adhesive interlinings became larger and thicknesses were reduced compared to those before pressing. Bending rigidities of face fabrics didn't change though the thicknesses became thinner than before pressing. It was found that the case of considering mechanical properties of pressed face fabric and pressed interlining was more efficient to predict bending rigidity of composite with laminated model.ArticleTEXTILE RESEARCH JOURNAL. 81(6):598-607 (2011)journal articl
