Garment Design Method Based on Digital Intelligent Three-Dimensional Stretchable Knit Fabrics
This study explored a new approach to garment form design based on digital intelligent knitted fabrics,in response to the difficulty of extending general garment structure design methods to new knitted fabrics.The experiment was based on the "three-dimensional stretchable knit fabrics",which was developed around the curling effect of weft-knitted fabrics.Taking the human body as a participant in garment form construction,two basic construction methods,tubular-type and rectangular type,and four sets of body support points were summarised.Eight foundational forms were identified,and 144 potential garment forms were experimentally verified with three sets of three-dimensional stretchable knit fabric samples and two fabric application directions.Among them,128 shapes were effectively implemented.The study shows that employing three-dimensional stretchable knitted fabrics along the fabric course direction(perpendicular to the body's central axis),applying rectangular-type styles,and utilizing purl and link stitch structures significantly enhance the ability to achieve diverse design effects in garment forms.
