Body Measurement Methods for Pattern Making

This article discusses which essential measurements of the body are required for garment pattern design: how to get such measurements, where to collect measurements and body information, as well as how to use them for pattern design and grading. Also, outline how scanner measurements will be utilized to inform pattern construction. Currently, pattern drafting is a manual process that can be done in a variety of ways. Pattern drawing methods have been evaluated to determine ease of use, comprehend principles utilized in the procedure, and even illustrate how to better recognize the particular size, form, and dimensions employed in the process. However, studies have been undertaken to determine how scanner technology significantly impacts modern pattern-making techniques. While the present research emphasizes whole-body drafting, the similarities between the approaches indicate that the findings will be applicable to pattern drafting strategies utilized in various apparel types. Assuming that all body scanner measurements are valid for garment product creation is incorrect. Body scanning is a huge advancement in capturing human measurements, which are crucial for product development. This research not only assesses the adequacy of scan measures for pattern production, but also suggests additional measurements to better match the wearer’s size, shape, and proportions.
