Chapter 234: Ergonomics of Bra Design

Clothing ergonomics is a discipline that studies the relationship between the human body and clothing, and its research focuses on the characteristics of the human body such as morphology and motor function, fully considering the harmony and comfort of the human body and clothing, and improving the overall adaptability of clothing and the human body.

In this regard, Qin Tingcheng walked in the front, and promoted the cooperation with Yanfu very early and established the Ergonomics Research Institute.

It is a complementary advantage.

Promote the research on the distribution of human body shape, the basic theory and application of clothing, and promote the development of clothing with high technology. This is the first specialized research institute in this field in China, and since its establishment, it has been committed to the research and expansion in the field of clothing ergonomics.

After years of hard work, we have accumulated some experience in the study of anthropometric measurement and its methods, and have achieved phased results.

At present, the institute has a variety of measuring hands from 1D to 3D, such as Martin, photography, grating, gypsum, 3D laser scanner, etc., and is improving the equipment and technology of 3D measurement, and occupies a certain advantage in this field in China.

In fact, the underwear industry is very necessary for ergonomic research.

It is necessary to have a sufficient understanding of the human body in order to be able to design a suitable version.

This is not a requirement for underwear design, the entire clothing design actually needs the support of human body data.

In this respect, the real world lags far behind the dream world of the previous life.

In the past life, not only the use of 3D body scanners, but also big data and artificial intelligence have been fully used.

Even if you want to design the right clothing version, as long as you enter key data in the computer, the computer can produce the design style.

This kind of high-tech application looks very wonderful, of course, if you understand the distance inside, it is not very difficult.

Any industry needs to be driven by science and technology.

The apparel industry is no exception.

This aspect involves the category of industry.

Lin Zhengrong doesn't know much, but it's not that he doesn't know, designers are not scientists, and they don't need to know too many principles, but they must be proficient in the use of technology.

Otherwise, how can you eat in the industry?

However, the ergonomics institute co-founded by Allure Underwear and Yanfu is, in the final analysis, to do ergonomic research on bra design.

Fashion design is a creative activity that takes the human body as the center, takes the clothing as the material, takes the environment as the background, and takes the temperament as the theme, and transforms the designer's ideas into finished clothing products through technical and artistic techniques.

Clothing ergonomics is a discipline that studies the relationship between the human body and clothing, focusing on the characteristics of the human body and motor function, fully considering the harmony and comfort of the human body and clothing, so as to improve the overall adaptability of clothing and the human body.

The study of ergonomics is conducive to the designer's deeper understanding of the structure of the garment, so that the structure of the garment tends to be more in line with the characteristics of the human body, and can grasp the relationship between the human body and the structure of the garment from a three-dimensional and intuitive perspective.

As a product that is in the closest contact with the human body, clothing plays a very important role in the daily life of human beings.

It has two natures: one is practicality, which can meet people's various physiological needs, and the other is aesthetics, which gives people aesthetic enjoyment from the spirit, and is a space object attached to the existence of the human body.

This requires ergonomics to be fully involved in the field of clothing design in order to be perfectly realized.

In order to explore the relationship between the comfort of bra wearing on the human body and ergonomics, the relevant measurements were carried out on adult women according to the principle of ergonomics.

Based on the measured data, it was concluded that the shape of the breasts varied among women, but was generally the same. Therefore, the design of the bra needs to be people-oriented, emphasizing the comfort of wearing it.

There were no bras before, and bras are actually what people often call underwear. Underwear culture first originated in Europe and has a history of nearly 600 years. Westerners regard the human body and its sculpture as "eternal art", and they fully display and depict the beauty of the human body, and use clothing as a way to express a strong desire to shape the human body.

In order to better highlight the beauty of the human body, people have invented a variety of new underwear in combination with the needs of the times.

Therefore, underwear is closely related to the human body, and the design of underwear needs to be people-oriented. Therefore, it is necessary to study the embodiment of ergonomics in bras.

Underwear is a woman's tenderness, and it is a woman's love for herself. A good bra can not only play a good role in protecting the body, but also make women happy physically and mentally, producing a kind of confidence and beauty from the inside out.

Bra is the most important part of underwear design, and it is also the most technical variety in the underwear industry

However, when many women buy bras, many of them buy them approximately, and they will not measure some sizes of bras first, in fact, this is not good, and they should know their size.

From the data, it can be seen that the breast size is similar among women, the basic bust circumference will be larger than the lower bust circumference, and the difference between the bust and the lower bust is basically different. However, they are generally around 75, which is generally smaller than in Europe.

The design of the bra has a lot to do with the degree of fit of the human body, and only when the design fits well, the comfort will be reflected. However, the difference between the bust and the underbust is the most decisive factor in bra size, which is also an important basis for us women to choose a bra. Therefore, the following will introduce some knowledge about bras.

Due to the late start of China's underwear industry, the research on the specifications and standards of underwear for the human body lags behind.

At present, China's underwear industry does not have a unified national standard, each company or refer to international standards or refer to Japan, Taiwan, China's standards are self-contained, independent, lack of standardization and scientificity.

In lingerie design, underwear specifications and reference sizes are crucial. The following is an introduction to the internationally accepted standards.

The size of a bra is the size of the underbust and can be expressed in a variety of ways. The shape of the bra refers to the size of the cup, which represents the difference between the bust and the underbust of the human body. There are huge differences between different countries and manufacturers in terms of what makes a bra good.

Bra Classification and Styling Bras can be classified in a variety of ways according to different criteria. According to the material of the cup, it can be divided into three types: mold cup bra, cotton bra and single bra, and according to the area of the cup, it can be divided into: full cup bra, half cup bra and 3/4 cup bra.

Bra belongs to underwear with strong plastic and protective functions, and its production requires all kinds of accessories in addition to various ordinary fabrics for underwear. Accessories for underwear are the main factors affecting the structural form, appearance, internal quality, function and maintenance requirements of underwear, and there are many kinds of accessories for underwear, mainly including padding cotton, padding, steel rings, bundles, elastic bands, shaped yarns, soft yarns, shoulder straps, lace, lace, various types of groove buckles, jewelry, etc.

The above introduces the specific knowledge of related bras, and the following will introduce some relevant content to know about bra design according to the degree of fit between the bra and the human body.

The design elements of the bra include ergonomics, mechanical elements, material elements, color elements and consumer groups.

Ergonomics is a discipline that connects the physiological characteristics of the human body with the environment in which the human body is located.

The ergonomics of clothing is the study of the relationship between the human body and clothing, and its research focus is on the characteristics of the human body and motor function, fully considering the harmony and comfort of the human body and clothing, so as to improve the overall adaptability of clothing and the human body, and the particularity of underwear makes it more closely related to ergonomics. The task of bra design is not only to solve the aesthetic problem of design, but more importantly, to make the product meet the overall requirements of people.

"Clothing mechanics" refers to the phenomenon of force generated by the interaction between clothing and the human body, which mainly studies the interaction force between clothing and the human body after clothing is worn, as well as the mutual relationship and influence between these forces and clothing materials and structures, so as to deal with the selection of clothing materials, clothing modeling, processing technology, etc., to achieve the clothing modeling and function required by the design. Therefore, it is also important to understand the mechanics of clothing for bra design. There are three elements to consider in the design of the bra, static mechanics, dynamic mechanics, and material mechanics. The shape, position, and use of materials with different characteristics of each piece of bra must meet the special requirements of a specific part, and the more simple the style, the more so.

For example, the upward support force of the shoulder strap is caused by part of the weight of the bra and part of the gravity of the body, the tension of the body part comes from the elasticity of the bra, and the static friction force comes from the pressure of the bra on the human body, and the size and direction are determined by the combined force of other forces. When the strap is highly pulled, it is oriented downward, and when the strap is less pulled or there is no strap. The direction of the static friction force is upward. If these forces are of the right magnitude, they cancel each other out. Mutual restraints, bras are comfortable to wear, and there will be no problems. Bra design can only maintain mechanical balance in the most complex part of the female breast, the most complex part of the shape. The functionality, aesthetics, and manufacturability of the material determine the tailoring process and the form of design expression, and it can be said that the appropriate fabric is the first to have a successful garment.

The material elements of the bra are expressed in two aspects, comfort and functionality.

The choice of clothing materials is an important aspect of clothing design, various fabrics have their own characteristics and effects, with their own different textures and lusters, and the characteristics they possess show completely different styles. Therefore, it is very important to understand the material elements of the garment for bra design.

The comfort of the material bra is a garment that is in direct contact with the human body, and the comfort of the material is the first consideration when designing any bra. The comfort of the bra is one of the important factors that affect the quality of the bra, and the comfort mainly considers the moist heat of the material and whether there is irritation, in addition, it also emphasizes the warmth of the material.

There are three main types of bra materials: silk, cotton, and chemical fibers.

With the improvement of the socio-economic level, people pay more attention to the quality of life while having enough food and clothing, echoing this, the choice of clothing in the material no longer only emphasizes durability and firmness, its functionality is also more prominent, and various special performance materials came into being, which are widely used in bra manufacturing. Depending on the material, the function obtained from the application to the bra manufacturing is also different.

Color ElementsColor is not simply color science, it also involves the fields of aesthetics, optics, psychology and folklore. Clothing color is also a science, is a course that must be mastered to learn clothing design, such as the bad environment, wearing objects, popular factors, etc. are all factors that fashion designers must consider when designing clothing. Under the current fashion trend, bras are more aesthetically pleasing, and color has become an important factor in bra design. Underwear designers need to carefully analyze and study the law of the popular color cycle, grasp the popular timing, and timely launch trendy clothing that meets people's aesthetic requirements in order to expand market sales.

To serve consumers, we must first identify the consumer groups of the brand and determine the content of the service. The design should be centered on these factors, layer by layer, and of course, the reasonable combination of many aspects such as fabric selection should be considered.

Designers can not meet the needs of every consumer, can only through market research, the customer according to a certain standard classification, analysis of the actual needs and consumption level of these types of people, so as to serve different levels of consumer groups well.

With the improvement of people's aesthetic awareness, bras, as an important part of the clothing industry, have received more and more attention from society. Although the bra is only worn inside the human body and cannot be seen, the impact on women's ** is considerable, so it is particularly important to choose a good bra.

Bra is the most direct basic underwear to set off the curve of women's breasts, which can protect women's breasts, maintain the ideal shape, position and height of the breasts, modify the breast curve, make the breasts erect and increase the sense of fullness; It is one of the indispensable underwear for modern women, which can play a good role in plasticity and protection.

Therefore, the level of comfort needs to be paid special attention, especially from an ergonomic point of view.
