The fully comprehensive monograph “Design of clothing manufacturing processes – A systematic approach to planning, scheduling, and control” provides a critical overview and appreciation of design of clothingmanufacture processes, and an understanding of product development and production planning. Design of clothing manufacturing processes plays an essential role in introducing new products, particularly in the ability to adapt quickly to dynamic changes in the global market. The eight chapters of the book provide detailed coverage of clothing-manufacture planning, management, and scheduling. Chapter 1 gives a general overview of clothing classification and terminologies for individual clothing types. Chapter 2 therefore provides an overview of the development and analysis of sizing systems of clothing. Chapter 3 reviews the key issues in product development - garment collection. These chapters provide the context for designing particular clothing manufacturing processes. Chapters 4 to 7 discuss particular aspects of clothing manufacturing engineering, ranging from engineering, planning, scheduling to monitoring and controlling. The last Chapter provides an overview of quality requirements for clothing materials, definitions and minimum quality standards. The monograph is intended for a wide spectrum of readers, including students, researchers and academics, as well as professionals in the field of clothing design and engineering.

The monograph provides an overview of complex fabric deformations. The contents are subdivided into two thematically-connected parts. Part I addresses the basic issues in the complex deformations of a textile structure. The first chapter provides a study of the complex deformations of a textile structure in view of the two- and three dimensional drape and outline of draping as an aesthetic performance of clothing appearance. The measuring and simulation of drape performance and fabric drape behaviour as the functions of some influential parameters are given in the two following chapters. The asymmetrical behaviour of complex textile structures is described in the fourth chapter. Part II places emphasis on the 3D modelling of the human body and clothing simulation. Chapter five gives an overview of the reg-trade development, chapter six reports on the measuring and modelling of the human body, and the chapter seven reports on 3D clothing design using the Sylvie 3D system.

The paper explores the impact of physical and sorption properties of fabric on the amount of the absorbed sweat in clothing. For research five fabrics of different raw materials, but of the nearly identical structural characteristics (linen, cotton, polyester fabrics as well as fabrics made of line/PES and cotton/PES blends) were used to make women’s summer clothing. The purpose of this study was to determine the appropriate relationship between the characteristics of fabrics, such as mass, air permeability, water retention capacity and amount of sweat absorbed in clothing.

From point of view of end-use properties, of special interest is the elastic behaviour of textile structures at lower stresses, such that occur in processing or garment wearing, as well as in the area of elastic deformations. For this purpose the paper presents a study of elastic behaviour of textile structures. The results show that the deformations occurring in tested fabrics at constant tensile load (490.35 cN per unit width of 1 cm) often do not fall in the area of elastic deformation but reach in the area where more or less residual deformation is evident, or irrecoverable deformation.

Producers of fashion and special garments are nowadays oriented towards the reduction of development cost and prototype development time. 3D virtual prototyping, which has been recently introduced to clothing industry, become a topic of increasing interest of both computer graphics and clothing industry. Based on the results of many recent studies, we can claim that 3D virtual garment prototyping is a promising technique, which will due to its potential considerably replace conventional methods of clothing prototypes’ development. These technologies are especially important when a garment prototype should be developed for special purposes such as competitive sports clothing, protective or special clothing.
