Abstract
This study determines the fit of racket sportswear for women’s interlock knitted top in different body zones of sports personnel by altering the pattern shapes and fabric yield by using a virtual CAD platform. The fabrics with areal densities of 120, 160, and 200 Grams / Sq.m were chosen, and twenty-seven virtual patterns were developed by altering the patterns in armhole shapes and dart positions based on the measurements taken by female sports personnel. A parametric avatar was created, and all the patterns were simulated to check the fit of the avatar by virtual simulation techniques using Lectra - Modaris software. Ease and strain were determined in critical fit zones and optimized using design expert statistical software to get the perfect fit on the customized avatar. Sportswear has been constructed using optimized parameters, and subjective evaluation is done to compare the virtual and real fit.
