Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing a garment comprising: obtaining a plurality of model measurements, each of the model measurements associated with a location on a model body, the model body representing normal body dimensions for a range of bodies within a particular garment size; calculating a plurality of garment measurements for various locations on the garment, wherein each garment measurement calculation is based at least in part on one of the plurality of model measurements and at least in part on a target elongation for the garment; and preparing a plurality of fabric segments for the garment based on the calculated garment measurements, wherein a modulus of elasticity is substantially the same for each of the plurality of fabric segments and wherein the modulus of elasticity is such that a 0.5 to 3.0 pound force results in at least 50% elongation of the fabric segment.
