하이 웨이스트 스커트의 허리선높이와 스커트 길이 변화에 따른 시각적 이미지 차이

Abstract

This study aimed to find the components of visual image by researching main image-related adjectives appliedto high-waist skirts. In addition, it compared and analyzed the differences and mutual influences of visual imagesaccording to variations in the waistline and skirt length of high-waist skirts. The researchers made nine high-waistskirts-combinations of three different levels of waistlines and skirt lengths. The test involved 121 people who holddegrees in the field of Clothing and Textiles. The panels tested actual images of all models wearing the high-waistskirts shown on a computer screen. The results of the study are as follows.: Four factors affected the visual imageas waist-height and skirt-length changed: attractiveness, upper-body compensation, length compensation, and hipscompensation. Among these factors, attractiveness was estimated as the most important factor. The torso and thehip were highlighted as the waistline increased from 3cm to 11cm, due to the optical illusion of a tighter skirtwrapping the bust, waist, and hips. As the waistline increased, the stature and leg length increased, possibly revisingthe overall appearance. For the skirt length, a length measuring 20cm above the knees, proved to be most attractive.This resulted in elongated height and leg length, and a slimmer overall look.
