Abstract
A method for fitting clothing based on the body dimensions of an individual is disclosed. The method comprising the steps of (a) Establishing standard body dimensions and ratios for a given garment style. (b) Choosing a try-on size and style that comes closest to an individual's preferences (c) obtaining information from the individual with regard to the personal style and fit preferences of the individual; (d) scanning the individual to establish his or her body dimensions and ratios; and (e) creating alterations to the pattern of the chosen try-on size and style based on a comparison of the individual's body dimensions and ratios to the standard body dimensions and ratios for that style and incorporating the information regarding the individuals personal style and fit preferences.
Claims14
A method of using a computer system for applying at least one rule to alter a clothing pattern representing a garment style, the method comprising the steps of:
- scanning, by at least one body scanner, ideal individuals for a plurality of respective garment styles;
- determining, by the computer system, standard body dimensions and ratios from the scanning of the ideal individuals for each of the respective garment styles;
- establishing a plurality of rules for altering a plurality of clothing patterns of the garment styles based at least in part on the standard body dimensions and ratios;
- obtaining information from an individual representing preferences of garment style and fit of the individual;
- selecting a try-on garment made from one of the plurality of clothing patterns, wherein the selecting the try-on garment is based at least in part on the individual's garment style and fit preferences;
- scanning, by a body scanner, the individual to obtain the individual's body measurements;
- determining, by the computer system, the individual's body dimensions and ratios from the individual's body measurements;
- determining at least one differential by comparing the individual's body dimensions and ratios to the standard body dimensions and ratios for the garment style;
- selecting at least one rule of the plurality of rules, wherein the selecting the at least one rule is based at least in part on the at least one differential;
- and
- applying the at least one rule to alter the one of the plurality of clothing patterns.
A computer program product, comprising a computer usable medium having a computer readable program code embodied therein, said computer readable program code adapted to be executed to at least partially implement a method for altering a clothing pattern, the method comprising:
- scanning, by at least one body scanner, ideal individuals for a plurality of respective garment styles;
- determining, by the computer usable medium, standard body dimensions and ratios from the scanning of the ideal individuals;
- establishing a plurality of rules for altering a plurality of clothing patterns of the garment styles based at least in part on the standard body dimensions and ratios;
- obtaining information from an individual representing preferences of garment style and fit of the individual;
- selecting a try-on garment made from one of the plurality of clothing patterns, wherein the selecting the try-on garment is based at least in part on the individual's garment style and fit preferences;
- scanning, by a body scanner, the individual to obtain the individual's body measurements;
- determining, by the computer usable medium, the individual's body dimensions and ratios from the individual's body measurements;
- determining at least one differential by comparing the individual's body dimensions and ratios to the standard body dimensions and ratios for the garment style;
- selecting at least one rule of the plurality of rules, wherein the selecting the at least one rule is based at least in part on the at least one differential;
- and
- applying the at least one rule to alter the one of the plurality of clothing patterns.
A system for applying at least one rule to alter a clothing pattern representing a garment style, the system comprising:
- at least one body scanner operable to scan ideal individuals determined for a plurality of respective garment styles;
- a computer system operable to determine standard body dimensions and ratios from the scans of the ideal individuals;
- a database, accessible by the computer system, storing a plurality of rules established for altering a plurality of clothing patterns of the garment styles based at least in part on the standard body dimensions and ratios;
- a try-on garment made from one of the plurality of clothing patterns, wherein the try-on garment is selected based at least in part on an individual's garment style and fit preferences;
- and
- a body scanner operable to scan the individual to obtain the individual's body measurements,
- wherein the computer system is operable to determine the individual's body dimensions and ratios from the individual's body measurements, and further operable to determine at least one differential by comparing the individual's body dimensions and ratios to the standard body dimensions and ratios for the garment style, and
- further wherein the computer system is further operable to select at least one rule of the plurality of rules at least in part on the at least one differential, and further wherein the computer system is operable to apply the at least one rule to alter the one of the plurality of clothing patterns.
