Evaluating and defining body measurements according to anthropometric measurement technique for lower garment pattern preparation

In apparel industry,preparing garment patterns accurately is one of the most important factors in the production of fit garments. while body measurements are being taken,it is necessary to use the anthropometrical measurement technique which represents the human body in numerical units.within the scope of this study,the contec,müller,metric and basic blocks pattern preparing systems,which are widely used,are examined and the measurements,which are required for lower body basic pattern preparation,are determined. these measurements' definitions are stated according to anthropometric measurement technique. besides,new anthropometric points for two measurements,which are not defined in anthropometric technique,are defined. it is thought that these newly defined measurements will be used in preparation of lower garment pattern effectively. an implementation which shows the necessity for using the newly defined measurements is conducted in this study.
