플레어스커트의 실제착의와 가상착의에 따른 시각적 이미지 연구

Abstract

현재의 의류산업은 고객의 욕구에 누가 빨리 대응하는가가 경쟁의 관건인 시대이다. 따라서 치열한 경쟁 속에서 빠른 유행의 흐름에 맞춰 소비자들의 다양한 요구를 만족시켜야 하는 상황이며, 특히 꾸준히 증가하고 있는 비만체형의 의복만족도를 높이기 위해서는 신체결점을 커버하면서 긍정적인 시각적 이미지로 돋보이게 하여 심리적 만족도까지 충족시킬 수 있어야 한다. 그러므로 의복 설계시 3차원 가상착의시스템을 이용하여 시각적 이미지를 미리 예측할 수 있다면 소비자의 만족도를 높이면서 틈새시장의 공략이 가능할 수 있을 것이다. 따라서 인체 및 의복과 관련하여 3차원의 가상착의와 실제착의의 비교연구는 다양하게 이루어질 필요성이 강조되고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 20대 비만체형 여성을 대상으로 플레어스커트의 스커트 폭과 스커트 길이 변화에 따른 시각적 이미지의 요인분석을 통해, 실제착의와 가상착의의 시각적 이미지를 비교하여 분석하고, 20대 비만체형 여성에게 가장 긍정적인 이미지로 평가될 수 있는 플레어스커트의 스커트 폭과 길이를 제안하는데 그 목적이 있다.; The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze visual images between the Real Human body Fitting and the Comp ter Simulation Fitting, with the changes in the width and length of flare skirt among obese women in twenties, and to propose the ideal width and length of flare skirt with which they can improve their images to the most ideal status. The research method for this study is making a standard for body measurement of women in twenties with a body-shape of obesity, whose Rohrer index is over 1.5, from the database of "the 5th Korean body measurement and survey", selecting experimental people with the standard body size and making 15 different types of experimental skirts combined with 5 different widths and 3 different lengths based on the measurements from the experimental women. The pictures of the Real Human body Fitting and the Computer Simulation Fitting of experimental flare skirts were shown on computer screen to the evaluation group of women in 20s whose major study is clothing and textiles, and evaluated with their visual images. SPSS Version 12.0 statistics program was utilized to analyze data and Factor analysis, One Way ANOVA, T-test and Duncan test were used according to research problems. The conclusions from the findings of this study are as following. 1. The result of visual image evaluation with changes of flare skirt's width showed; From the front-view, in the Real Human body Fitting, the factor of attraction achieved the highest point with the width of 225 degrees, the factor of practicability with 90 degrees, and the factor of body-shape compensation with 225 degrees. In the Computer Simulation Fitting, almost same results were shown for the factors of attraction and practicability but skirt-width with 90 degrees achieved the highest point for the factor of body-shape compensation. As a result, the factors of attraction and practicability in the Real Human body Fitting and the Computer Simulation Fitting showed same results. For the factor of body-shape compensation, however, the skirts with 225 degree width in the Real Human body Fitting and 90 degree width in the Computer Simulation Fitting are the most effective. From the side-view, there was no meaningful difference with the change of the skirt width for the factor of attraction, but the narrower the width was, the higher points practical image achieved and the more effective the body-shape compensation was in the Real Human body Fitting. In the Computer Simulation Fitting, there was no difference with the change of the skirt width except for 48cm length of the skirt. For the factors of practicability and compensation, the skirt with the narrowest width showed the most practical image and the greatest effect. As a result, the change of the skirt width didn't affect on the attraction factor in the real and Computer Simulation Fitting. For the factors of practicability and compensation, the narrower the width was, the more practical and the more effective. From the back-view, no meaningful difference was shown with the change of the skirt width in the factor of attraction. With 90 degrees of width, practical image achieved the higher points and there was meaningful difference with 58cm of skirt length for the body-shape compensation and body-shape compensation was the most effective with 135 degrees of skirt width. In the Computer Simulation Fitting, there was no meaningful difference with 58cm of skirt length for the factor of attraction but the most attractive image was shown with 225 degrees of skirt width at any length. With 90 degrees of width, practical image achieved the higher points and with 135 degrees of skirt width, body-shape compensation was the most effective. Therefore, the practical factor in the Real Human body Fitting and the Computer Simulation Fitting showed that the practical image was the highest with the narrowest width of skirt and the factors of attraction and compensation were less affected with the change of skirt width in the Real Human body Fitting rather than the Computer Simulation Fitting. 2. The result of visual image evaluation with changes of flare skirt's length showed that a skirt with 48cm length achieved the most positive visual image for all the factors-attraction, practicability, and body-shape compensation and from the front, side and back-views. As a result, a skirt with 48cm length was the most attractive, practical, and body-shape compensational in the Real Human body Fitting. In the Computer Simulation Fitting, the result was same; the visual image for all the factors was the most positive with a skirt of 48cm length, which means there was no difference in perceiving the visual image between the Real Human body Fitting and the Computer Simulation Fitting with the change of skirt length. The reason for which the visual image for all the factors was the most positive with a short length skirt is regarded that miniskirt is very popular among women of modern society who pursuits simpleness and convenience and the evaluation group was composed of twenties' women. 3. Overall result from comparing and analyzing the visual images in the Real Human body Fitting and Computer Simulation Fitting showed no difference between the real and Computer Simulation Fitting for the factor of attraction. There was no difference in the evaluation for the attraction between the Real Human body Fitting and Computer Simulation Fitting. Although there was a meaningful difference in the factor of practicality compared to attraction, it turned out to be very small. For the factor of body-shape compensation, however, there were meaningful differences between the Real Human body Fitting and the Computer Simulation Fitting. Especially, the wider the width of a skirt was, the effective the body-shape compensation was in the Real Human body Fitting rather than in the Computer Simulation Fitting. The pleats of a skirt seemed to be spread evenly from the waist to the bottom of the skirt in the Computer Simulation Fitting, which is different from the Real Human body Fitting. Also, in the Computer Simulation Fitting, a skirt with wider width was evaluated worse than in the Real Human body Fitting because it couldn't show stability in its shape and was perceived with a negative image. From the results above, the width of a flare skirt for the obese women in twenties should not be too narrow or too wide, which should be able to cover their body with a proper room and not to stick to the body; 225 degrees is regarded as the most appropriate width for them. Because the less attractive, the less practical, and the less effective in the compensation of body-shape, the longer the length of a skirt was, 48cm of the length, which achieved the most positive visual image points, is regarded as the most appropriate. Therefore, it is regarded that 48cm length and 225 degrees width of a skirt is the most appropriate to the twenties' women with an obese body-shape. I-Designer, one of the Computer Simulation Fitting systems, was used for making experimental skirts and evaluating the visual images in the Computer Simulation Fitting and some suggestions can be made to make up for its weakness. First, the surface of the body tended to become rough with the change of body size. Second, the textile in the Computer Simulation Fitting seemed to be smoother than in the Real Human body Fitting. Third, the program should be operated easier and the speed should be improved. With the problems above solved, 3D Computer Simulation Fitting system can be more briskly used and utilized on the web, which can make its marketing more upgraded because consumers can input their own size and see their Computer Simulation Fitting before purchasing their clothes. This study is very helpful to evaluate the visual images with the changes in the width and length of flare skirt among women in twenties with an obesity body-shape, to propose the ideal width and length of flare skirt which is appropriate to them and to try utilizing the Computer Simulation Fitting system in the clothing design field by making clear the difference between the evaluation of the visual image in the real and Computer Simulation Fitting. Also, this study helps to reduce time and cost in designing and producing clothes by conjecturing the image of the complete flare skirt in advance when its pattern is designed.
