Abstract:
The particularities of children’s silhouettes are determined, first of all, by differences in the proportions of main elements. It is known that namely the proportions of silhouette represent the biggest age-related variability and affect the perception of silhouette in general.
Therefore, the main objective of this work was to study the body proportioning systems for choosing a system capable of transposing its harmonization principles on the silhouette in general and the product in particular.
The problems considered in this work are actual, as the manufacturing of garments for children occupies a substantial share of textile industry. Garments for children are always highly demanded, as they need frequent renewal due to wearing particularities.
In the result of performed study, two systems of jackets for girls have been elaborated. All the external characteristics of models have been elaborated using the «golden ratio» rule that allowed to provide a harmonic external appearance adapted to the anthropomorphological characteristics of a child of preschool age.
