STUDY ON THE MEASUREMENTS USED FOR CLOTHING CONSTRUCTION IN TERMS OF ANTHROPOMETRY

In this study the Muller system, which has been applied widely in the schedules of the schools, training labour for the sector, will be analyzed from the ergonomics and anthropometrical perspectives. To this end, the necessity and adequacy of this system will be examined in a comparative method. In the study, firstly, the measurements used in the Muller System are examined according to classical anthropometric techniques and the differences are highlighted. Secondly, the measurements and operations needed in the system have been compared with sector practices. The evaluations show that the measurements and the references used in the Muller system do not identify accurately the position of the body at the time of measurement. When the measures used in the apparel technology are taken into account, it is observed that some of them can not be found and applied in the preparations of the patterns according to the Muller System. Some of the measures used for the ready-wear sector are not included in the Muller measure list and can not be used for preparing a pattern.
