description Fit and sizing of clothing are fundamental problems in the field of garment design, manufacture, and retail. Here we propose new computational methods for adjusting the fit of clothing on realistic models of the human body by interactively modifying desired fit attributes. Clothing fit represents the relationship between the body and the garment, and can be quantified using physical fit attributes such as ease and pressure on the body. However, the relationship between pattern geometry and such fit attributes is notoriously complex and nonlinear, requiring deep pattern making expertise to adjust patterns to achieve fit goals. Such attributes can be computed by physically based simulations, using soft avatars. Here we propose a method to learn the relationship between the fit attributes and the space of 2D pattern edits. We demonstrate our method via interactive tools that directly edit fit attributes in 3D and instantaneously predict the corresponding pattern adjustments. The approach has been tested with a range of garment types, and validated by comparing with physical prototypes. Our method introduces an alternative way to directly express fit adjustment goals, making pattern adjustment more broadly accessible. As an additional benefit, the proposed approach allows pattern adjustments to be systematized, enabling better communication and audit of decisions.
