Abstract
It is a generally accepted fact that % fabric stretch of the stretch fabric differs depending on the direction of the grainline. Subtle differences in the direction of the grainline would affect the performance of compression garments. In this study, compression garments, which have the same pattern size, were made by 4 types of grainline combinations. Then, clothing pressure was measured directly on the human body and the mannequin used, and an air-pack type sensor was used to determine whether different grainlines of patterns affect the clothing pressure of four compression garments. Also, fabric strain, load, and displacement were compared with real clothing pressure to investigate their relationships. In the results, it was noted that an accurate % fabric stretch of each grainline direction should be ascertained to design a compression garment that has an optimal pressure distribution.
