Research On Relationship Between Fabric Elastics Recovery And Clothing Pressure Comfort By Girdles

Girdle is a type of pressure foundation wear worn by women to re-shape the lower part of the body by uplifting the hips and compressing the abdomen so as to enhance the aesthetic appearance of the wearer.It imposes clothing pressure on certain body parts, moving subcutaneous fat over the soft tissue directionally, and maintains a suitable body shape to beautify the human body curve based on the craft design such as clothing's fitness, high elastic recovery of knitted fabrics, garment style and so on.Clothing pressure is the key to the beautify functionality and pressure comfort of girdles. In this paper, relationship between girdles'pressure comfort and elastic stretching of the fabric were penetrated; the dates of this article provided design comfort and better clothing pressure datas for manufactures; references also offered choosing appropriate underwear for customers. Therefore, there is certain social and economic significance in this paper.Eight kinds of normal girdle fabrics were collected, while 40 short girdles were made according to the style of the textile industry standard "FZ/T 73019.2-2004",with waistline of the intermediate body of young and middle-aged female in east China as standard size,5 models of girdles obtained by increasing and decreasing by 3cm respectively based on 5.3 series.Simple tensile test, once and 5th elastic recovery test are respectively carried out. In addition,Clothing pressure on the salient point of hip, the midpoint of abdomen and the midpoint of lateral-abdomen of the body were measured using the related equipment while the wearers varied from static, uplifting leg, stepping, bowing to squatting. Eventually, subjective sensation on pressure sense, pressure comfort and artistic were carried out. The conclusions as follows:1) Clothing pressure on hip is generally higher than pressure on abdomen, no matter static or dynamic. In addition,there is linear regression relationship between clothing pressure of different status; also different body parts have significant linear regression among each other both dynamic and static state2) In static state, clothing pressure has a weak linear relation with pressure comfort, tightness sensation and artistic sensation. Meanwhile, Pressure limitation was calculated, which can meet the requirements on both pressure comfort and artistic sensation.3) The portrait of the fabric of girdles has better elongation and recovery than transverse, but the latter one is easier to accumulate plastic deformation; cubic equation could fit the single tensile curve better. 4) Clothing pressure of hip-abdomen has significant negative nonlinear correlation with weft breaking strength, weft breaking work, significant positive linear correlation with warp initial modulus, warp once and 5th elastic recovery, which is the main factor influencing clothing pressure.5) Clothing pressure has significant linear correlation with tensile strength, elongation and girdles' fitness. Meanwhile, tensile elongation range and tensile strength range of comfortable and artistic clothing were obtained.
