DESIGNING APPARELS FOR PEAR SHAPED FIGURE

Study was planned to standardize and develop the apparel designs for pear shaped figure between the age group 20-30. The main objective of the study was to develop designs for pear shaped figure, to construct selected garments with suitable material and to take preference for constructed garments. The 100 samples of pear shaped figure of age group 20-30 were selected for standardization of body measurements. And out of 100 samples one model was selected based on the standardization of body measurements. Thirty designs of garments suitable for pear shaped figure were sketched and out of 30 designs, 10 were selected with the help of schedule and were then developed with the help of computer software (Reach Fashion Studio). The paper patterns for 10 selected designs were prepared and constructed with due consideration of the factors like suitability, fitting, general appearance, designs, colour combination, trimming and decoration. Constructed garments were found to be suitable for pear shaped figure.
