Scoliosis is a spinal deformity that most commonly appears in girls and makes itself apparent at puberty during the early teenage years, but it affects approximately 12 million people worldwide. Living with scoliosis can be especially difficult for children, particularly when a brace is required to stop its progression. The brace is 5 mm thick plastic armour that is to be worn 24 hours a day. To wearing it cause not just physical hardship but psyche trouble as well. Currently, the underwear that is worn by children under the brace is the commercially available materials and tailoring forms determined. Our goal is the unique design of pant, bra and t-shirt patterns with least seam and we use a special raw material. Wearing it under the brace will be improved the children physiological conditions and comfort. We use 3D scanned body model to make measurement and to do t-shirt construction.

COBISS.SI-ID: 15772950The textbook Garment pattern design provides the basic knowledge for construction of the basic patterns for women, men and children garments, which are used for modelling of the garments’ patterns. It also provides the basics of garments patterns modelling. Construction of basic garments patterns is summarized in the textbook according to the German construction system M. Müller & Sohn. The work is directly intended for students in higher professional and university study programs at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Maribor. Content of the textbook is divided into eight chapters. In the introduction part the history of the construction of the garment patterns is presented, as well as development of the garment patterns. The next chapter presents the basic anatomical characteristics and constitution of the human body, which are the basis for understanding of the anthropometric measurements of body dimensions and human proportions, whose topic covers third chapter. The fourth chapter discusses the table of measurements and clothing size systems, on which basis the construction of garment patterns in the clothing industry. The fifth chapter discusses in detail the construction of garment patterns that based on the mentioned construction system and pattern pieces modelling according to the construction drawing of the garment model. The last three comprehensive chapters cover the construction of basic patterns for women, men and children garments. It also presents modelling of pattern pieces for simple examples of garments designs.

COBISS.SI-ID: 16739862The field of cloth simulation and garment prototyping has in the last twenty years attracted a lot of attention of numerous researchers. It enables a quick response to the clothing industry trends in order to ensure lower production costs while increasing the efficiency of garmentsć production. Development of garments is practically unthinkable without the help of advanced body scanning technology. It enables fast and reliable capture of physical body dimensions in the form of 3D scanned data. This technique allows the extraction of accurate anthropometric body dimensions to be used in 2D and 3D CAD system for design, construction, visualization and animation of garment appearance on virtual mannequins. In apparel industry the current use of innovative computer programs and virtual reality reflects virtual prototyping on virtual mannequins in a standing position. In this way modern clothing industry excludes physically disabled people for which garments need to be individually adapted to each person to ensure wearing comfort. In our contribution we are describing the development of an accurate 3D body model in sitting position. It represents the first step to garment virtual prototyping for physically disabled people and other people with special physical needs.
