The purpose of this study is to develop a wedding dress basic pattern considering good fit and aesthetic for figures of Korean brides in their 20s and to suggest patterns for wedding dress basic designs using the developed basic pattern. For the research method, 3 women in their 20s who has the body size of ± S.D range of average figure and dress form suggested by 'the 5th human body measurement' of Size Korea were selected as the test group. The evaluators are 8 clothing construction majors, and the evaluation items included total 22 questions related to torso and total 10 questions related to sleeves. The evaluation was made using 5 Likert point scale. 4 prototypes for basic dress pattern were selected through the literature search. After compare analyzing pattern making methods of prototypes, the real wedding dresses were made in the average size of women in their 20s and the dresses were tried on for the assessment. The data was analyzed using SPSS 18.0 Program to examine average, standard deviation and significant differences between prototypes. Based on the results of the first and the second try-on assessments, a new wedding dress basic pattern with maximized strengths of compared prototypes was completed. The details of result follows. As for dress torso basic pattern, A pattern, which had the highest overall silhouette satisfaction and scores in basic pattern analysis, was selected as the prototype, and a research basic pattern reflecting strengths of each basic pattern was developed. It was designed as follows; armhole depth B/4-1㎝, bust width F: B/4+0.5㎝+1㎝, B: B/4-0.5㎝+1㎝, aist width F: W/4+0.5㎝+0.5㎝, B: W/4-0.5㎝+0.5㎝, hip width F: H/4+0.5㎝+0.5㎝, B: H/4-0.5㎝+0.5㎝, neck width F: B/12 and B/12+0.3㎝. As for dress sleeve basic pattern, B pattern, which had the highest overall silhouette satisfaction and scores in basic pattern analysis, was selected as the prototype, and a research basic pattern reflecting strengths of each prototypes was developed. It was designed as follows; sleeve edge A.H/3+0.5㎝, front upside width: front sleeve width/3, front down width: front sleeve width/3-1㎝, back upside width: back sleeve width/4+1.5㎝ and back down width: back sleeve width/4-1㎝. The pattern for wedding dress basic design was suggested as follows; neckline is from 1/3 point of shoulder line to 1/3 point between front neck and bust, torso hem line is from 1/5 point between side waist line and hip lines to 3/5 point between front waist line and hip line, princess line is from 1/2 point of armhole line to B․P point and sleeve length is 1/2 point of upper arm length used as structure line.
In this study, it is expected that the basic pattern will be used by continuously developing dress market and ready-made wedding dress manufacturers as well as in educational institutes.
