Abstract

Although sizing is usually established through the development of a size chart, the real elements of fit can only be ascertained after the creation of a garment pattern, based on the measurements of the size chart. Therefore, one of most fundamental stages in the garment manufacturing business is patternmaking. This study developed basic pattern blocks for garment manufacture using anthropometric data of Ghanaian girls (7 to 12 years), measured, and processed into a size chart in a previous study. First of all, the measurements of the size chart were extracted, after which one extra size (GH 6) was created based on the intervals observed between the sizes. Basic pattern blocks were developed and validated by producing trial samples and testing them on a sub-section of the target population. The major contribution of this study is the availability of a variation of ready-made standard garment blocks for use by garment manufacturers, and an enhanced fit of garments produced for the children's wear sector.
