Abstract
This study aimed to provide fundamental data to develop a bodice pattern that is appropriate to the standard body type of Korean males in their 20s. For this study, four educational-purpose bodice patterns were collected and inspected. Each pattern had two types, box and tight. A virtual fitting evaluation was performed by six experts in the composition of clothing using a 5-point Likert scale. For the analysis of the Likert scale data, SPSS 22.0 descriptive statistics and one-way ANOVA were used. From the study, there were two noticeable research findings. The first research finding was that box and tight type bodices were observed to have drop dimensions of 0.0 cm and 12.0~18.2 cm respectively. Secondly, the value set of the items that received a good grade as a result of the virtual fitting evaluation were as follows; front neck breadth and depth set as 7.7 cm and 8.2 cm, respectively; back neck breadth and depth set as 8.2 cm and 3.0 cm respectively; front and back armhole depths set as 19.1 cm and 20.4 cm respectively; overall armhole circumference set as 48.1 cm; the difference between the front and back shoulder angles set below 4°. The pattern with the greatest ease of use had chest and waist circumferences of approximately 12.0 cm and 11.0 cm respectively.
