TitleThe Study of Children`s Costumes Historical in Enlightment Period of Korea
Jin Kim , Hee Soon Sohn DOI: AbstractThis study was aimed at reviewing kinds and characteristics of children`s costumes in consideration of their social and cultural backgrounds and particularly, those of children`s costumes during the period of Enlightenment following Chosun dynasty and thereafter. Namely, this study focused on children`s costume history in view of not adults` costume miniatures but their own concept. It is deemed very significant to review the history of our traditional costumes and thereby, express their decorative features with our contemporary sense. It is results can be summed up as follows; Strictly speaking, the period of Enlightenment can be defined as the one from Gwangwhado treaty in 1876 through annexation of Korea by Japan in 1910, but it may well extend until our emancipation from Japan in 1945. By 1890`s, children`s costumes remained almost traditional, but since then, the Chimas as well as Jeogori and breast tie began to be narrower. Particularly, Children`s Jeogori began to be narrower with their breast tie disappearing gradually. By 1910`s, children`s costumes had changed much, with the breast tie replaced by the buttons and the longer Jeogoris. Key WordsChildren`s Costumes, Enlightment Period, Jeogori |

TitleA Study on the Color Change in a Union Fabric simulated using a 3-dimensional CAD Software and Image Analysis
Jong Jun Kim DOI: AbstractColors of textile products or fashionable clothing play one of the most important roles. From the point of visual cues, the realism of an image is the result of a good interaction of local light scattering or transmittance model applied. A 3-dimensional CAD software was used to construct a solid plain fabric model. In order to simulate a union fabric with different warp and filling colors, rendering was performed on the fabric model. It was demonstrated that the iridescent effect, pearl effect, or superficial color change effect of the union fabric during wearer`s movement could be explained using the fabric models at inclined fabric positions during viewer`s observation.

Instrumental Measurements of Hand Attributes on Microfiber Polyester/Cotton Blend Fabric Finished with Silicone Mixed FluorochemicalYoung Moo Ahn 10(6) 16-27, 2006
TitleInstrumental Measurements of Hand Attributes on Microfiber Polyester/Cotton Blend Fabric Finished with Silicone Mixed Fluorochemical
Young Moo Ahn DOI: AbstractThe purpose of this study was to examine the effects of chemical finishes on performance characteristics of microfiber blend fabrics. A 60% polyester microfiber/40% cotton blend woven fabric was finished by ten chemicals: three silicone softeners, one fluorochemical, and their mixtures. Performance characteristics examined were fabric hand attributes. Fabric hand was evaluated by instrumental measures using Kawabata KES-F system instruments. Silicone-only finishes did not change the bending properties significantly from those of the control fabric. The fluorochemical-only finish made the fabric stiffer and crisper. When the two chemicals were mixed they tended to offset this adversary effect. Most of the chemical finishes made the surface finer and smoother. Fluorochemical-only finish improved fabric strength. Likewise, dimethylpolysiloxane silicone improved fabric strength. Amino-functional hydrophilic and diamino-functional silicone softeners, on the other hand, reduced fabric strength. However, when mixed with the fluorochemical, the adversary effect was diminished. Key WordsFabric Hands, Microfiber, Silicone Finish, Fluorochemical |

TitleThree-dimensionally Simulated Monofilament Fabrics with Changes in Warp/Filling Yarn Diameter
Jong Jun Kim DOI: AbstractThe purpose of this work is to present three-dimensional models of plain fabrics having various warp and filling yarn diameters. In order to simulate a woven fabric, a 3-dimensional CAD software with NURBS modeling capability was used. Final rendering was performed on the fabric model. It was demonstrated that the changes in yarn diameter could be three-dimensionally modeled through the use of fabric geometry and the 3D CAD. A short RhinoScript program was composed to implement the data importing and model building on the 3D CAD. Key Words3-dimensional CAD, Yarn Diameter, Rendering, Warp/filling yarns |
A Study on the Scythian BuckleMoon Ja Kim 10(6) 38-51, 2006
TitleA Study on the Scythian Buckle
Moon Ja Kim DOI: AbstractIn Scythian art the multitude of animal representations well illustrates the preoccupation of this nomadic people with animals in their environment. Usually only wild animals are represented. The purpose and meaning of the animal motifs used in Scythian ornaments appears that in some cases the work was intended to be purely ornamental, while many times the motifs had symbolic meaning (such as the successful dominance of the aggressor over the victim portrayed in the attack scenes). Following earlier Scythian migrations, Sarmatian animal-style art is distinguished by complex compositions in which stylized animals are depicted twisted or turned back upon themselves or in combat with other animals. Without copying nature, they accurately conveyed the essence of every beast depicted. Scythian bound the leather belts that was hanged a hook that shaped of different kinds at the end on the upper garment. Through the antique records and tombs bequests the styles of Scythian Buckles was divided into six groups, animal-shaped, animal`s head shaped, animal fight-shaped, rectangle-shaped, rectangle openwork-shaped, genre scene shaped Buckle. In Korea, through the antique records and tombs bequests the styles of Buckles was horse-shaped and tiger-shaped Buckles that were influenced by scythe style.

TitleStudy on the analyze brassiere pattern by brand
You Shin Park , Young Soon Choi DOI: AbstractThe purpose of this study is to develop the appropriate brassiere pattern for women. Total of 6 brands with same design and 75A, 80A size brassieres(total 12 brassieres) were compared and analyzed for pattern, cup size and patterns. SPSS 10.1 statistic process was used for data analysis. The outcom of this study is summarized as follows. Total length of brassiere by grade were performed smaller than the standard difference 5cm. For 1/2 front cover length, There were no significant differences between 75 and 80. The reason for lower line of wing is shorter than upper line of wing is because side support is cut side ways considering lower line of wing is sewn more toward front than upper line of wing. Even it is same A cup size most cup related sizes become larger according to underbust comparing with cup capacity, they range from 146.67cc to 172.83cc for same A cups. Among same A cups with difference underbust there was average of 26.16cc differences. For relations of material, sewing technology and expansion rate, all 6 brands had zigzag type sewing for upper line tape. For every 0.3cm height, there were 17~21 stitches. When urethane mixture is similar expansion rate is higher while number of 1 inch zigzag are high. For elasticity, zigzag stitch expand side ways for more expansion.

The Turnover Motives of Clothing SalespersonHyun Ju Jung , Young Shim Han 10(6) 131-145, 2006
TitleThe Turnover Motives of Clothing Salesperson
Hyun Ju Jung , Young Shim Han DOI: AbstractThe study used 24 clothing salespersons who had turnover experiences. It used a qualitative research method, through which the following turnover motives were found. The turnover motives can be classified into two: voluntary and non-voluntary. The voluntary turnover motives include marriage, career change, wages, human relationship, family moving, study abroad, health problems, and so forth. This study finds that some salespersons made a turnover because they did not like the products and brand or they preferred another products and brand. This kind of turnover is unique in the field of clothing sales and seldom found in the motives of salesperson turnover in other fields. The non-voluntary turnover motives are caused by non-personal, circumstantial factors which include the bankruptcy of companies due to economic depression, withdrawal of salesroom from department stores due to low sales, etc. This means that the creation, rise, and fall of fashion brands are closely related to frequent turnover of clothing sale associates. As there are various motives for the salesperson turnover, so it is necessary for the clothing industry to examine and investigate the trends of its salespersons and establish an appropriate policy to cope with the matter.
