Generating cheongsam custom pattern based on fuzzy set theory

Abstract

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to quickly acquire a cheongsam pattern using the fit quantification method to meet individual fit requirement.Design/methodology/approachBased on the cheongsam pattern database including basic patterns and graded patterns, we defined the main control parts of the cheongsam pattern by analyzing the pattern modification. Combining human body shape characteristics, this paper utilized the fuzzy membership function to quantify the cheongsam fit, and defined the modified model of the cheongsam control part.FindingsThe fitness quantification method can provide suitable primary body characteristics for custom-pattern and helps to produce customized cheongsam quickly.Originality/valueThis paper proposed a method of generating customized cheongsam pattern based on fitness quantification by using fuzzy membership function. The method combined the industry pattern design experience and mathematic knowledge to generate the individual fit pattern rapidly. It can be applied in cheongsam customization.
