THE IMPACT OF ANTHROPOMETRIC VARIABLES ON FEMALE BODY SHAPE AND GARMENT FIT

The aim of the paper is to show the impact of the relationship between body height and leg length on body shape and visual impression. The body that has harmonious proportions is easier to dress. The relationship between leg length and body height plays a major role of good impression. Longer legs and a shorter torso are an important factor in favor of good proportion as well as body proportion in line with the golden ratio. The study was performed on a sample of 294 test subjects aged 19 to 34 years, and four anthropometric variables were analyzed. The results obtained were processed using standard statistical procedures to determine basic descriptive statistics parameters. The relationship between body height and leg length affects body shape, and this relationship is considered as one of the relevant parameters for defining body shape and it is the basis of good proportions in order to make a positive impression with the clothing one wears. Symbols for labeling clothes are proposed to select an appropriate garment length more easily.
