Research On The Application Of "One Size Fits All" In Womenswear Design

With the development of e-commerce and the popularity of online shopping,people are unable to physically try on clothes to choose the right size in the process of selecting clothes on online platform.This has become a major pain point and has led to the increase in the return rate of online shopping and the increase in carbon emissions from reverse logistics.From the design roots of "one size fits all" clothing,we explore the possibility of covering wearers different body types with as few sizes as possible,providing consumers with the possibility of size adjustment and styling changes by enhancing the size tolerance,thus extending the service life of clothing,and responding to the needs of green environmental protection and low-carbon energy conservation.The "one size fits all" design theory adopts the design method of size tolerance and follows the concept of human oriented.This study will provide new design ideas and directions for sustainable clothing design,which is of great significance to ecological environmental protection and development.This paper uses the method of literature search and case study to sort out the current situation of theoretical research in the field of "one size fits all".Through analyzing the cases of "one size fits all" market design applications at home and abroad,it summarizes the "size-free" design types(fabric material design,style structure design,technology design,etc.)and design methods(fabric elasticity design method,folding and pleating design method,cord adjustment design method,modular disassembly and combination design method,structure conversion design method,margin adjustment design method,etc.).Additionally,the auxiliary material elements for size adjustment are analyzed and summarized inductively as well.The project uses Martin’s measurement method to study the women’s body size in different sizes quantitatively.It carries out adjustable "one size fits all" design experiments according to the key parts of the selected categories by combining three-dimensional cutting and flat pattern making.This study applied a variety of button accessories to the fit of garments with a large margin.It will explore a series of artistic "one size fits all" garment designs with both size adjustment and silhouette change functions.Through the theoretical research and experimental design study related,we concluded that the design of "one size fits all" should consider the main size change parts and garment support parts involved in different clothing categories.The design also focuses on the connection between the size adjustable parts and garment shape change.The reverse design method-fabric and accessories selection,garment design practice,to design drawing is more suitable for "one size fits all" since this kind of creative fashion design involves multiple sizes and shapes.It is also concluded that the pattern of "one size fits all" garments tends to be simple.Therefore,it is necessary to pay attention to the sewing accuracy of the auxiliary elements in the process of mass production into the modern market.The "one size fits all"design with the characteristics of low-carbon,environmentally friendly,inclusive,and flexible,will become one of the major trends in the future.
