Parametrized Garment Pattern Manipulation for the Men's Suit

Abstract

The method for making men's suits has long been established and developed manually. Starting from measuring the customer's body size, tailor drafts the garment patterns and construct then into suit model. With the advance of machine, most of suit making processes have been automatized. However, drafting garment pattern still remains in the manual work. This paper proposes the parameterized garment drafting system for the men's suit utilizing only 5 body sizes. Once user provides required 5 body sizes to the proposed system, garment patterns are generated automatically. After passing through the positioning and sewing process, 2D garment patterns are converted to the 3D garment model. The 3D garment model would be draped on the virtual body model using physically-based simulation. The fitting evaluation would be performed to check the suitability of draped garment. If there were implausible result, then it is required to modify the garment to reduce the implausibility. To modify the fit of the men's suit, this paper proposes pattern modification method using secondary parameters.
