Abstract:

 Todays consumers prefer clothing which combines comfort and aesthetic together. Discomforts feeling sweating, odor, etc. usually observe in around armpit because of the changes in the micro-climate between the body and clothing. The simplest way to decrease the discomfort feelings is making dimensional changes along the arm of clothing. In the first stage of this study, several easy modifications were made in the shirt sleeves to improve the natural ventilation in the clothes. In the second stage, shirt sleeves were manipulated using textile manipulation techniques such as smocking and hand stitching to provide an aesthetic appearance in terms of design and to make improvements in clothing comfort by natural ventilation. After applying the manipulation techniques, through wear trials and then thermal camera measurements were carried out. Manipulated and non-manipulated shirts were compared and analyzed to see how the designs should be to improve thermal comfort in womens shirts.

 Günümüz tüketicileri konfor ve estetiği bir arada barındıran kıyafetleri tercih etmektedir. Vücut ve kıyafet arasındaki mikro klimanın değişmesi nedeniyle genellikle koltuk altında rahatsızlık hissi terleme, koku vb. görülür. Rahatsızlık hissini azaltmanın en basit yolu giysinin kol kısmında boyutsal değişiklikler yapmaktır. Bu çalışmanın ilk aşamasında, giysilerdeki doğal havalandırmayı iyileştirmek için gömlek kollarında çeşitli kolay modifikasyonlar yapılmıştır. İkinci aşamada, tasarım açısından estetik bir görünüm sağlamak ve doğal havalandırma ile giysi konforunda iyileştirmeler sağlamak amacıyla büzme, el dikişi gibi tekstil manipülasyon teknikleri kullanılarak gömlek kolları manipüle edilmiştir. Manipülasyon teknikleri uygulandıktan sonra giyim denemeleri yapılmış ve ardından termal kamera ölçümleri yapılmıştır. Kadın gömleklerinde termal konforun artırılmasına yönelik tasarımların nasıl olması gerektiğini görmek için manipüle edilmiş ve manipüle edilmemiş gömlekler karşılaştırılmış ve incelenmiştir.
