服裝人因工程是藉由瞭解服裝與體型的關係並使服裝讓消費者合身的科學。體型測量圖對於服裝設計與尺碼是非常重要的標準，過去許多體型測量圖多使用圍度差於人體計測資料來決定體型，但是這些體型卻無法被很精確地分類。此外，目前尚沒有研究以圍度比例的方法來決定體型，故本研究提出應用胸圍與腰圍比例的方法來進行女性體型的分類。藉由所建議的方法，體型可以被精確分類並進一步來開發體型測量圖，使不同分類體型之間具有規則的尺碼，除便於瞭解外，並具有方便打版、版型放縮、排馬克與縫製等生產上的優點。本研究結果可以協助業者提升服裝製造以降低成本並強化市場競爭力。

Clothing ergonomics is the science of fitting the clothing to the wearers by understanding the relation between clothing and body shape. Body measurement charts are necessary for successfully designing and sizing clothing. Many body measurement charts have used the girth difference based on anthropometric data to determine body shapes, but these body shapes could not be accurately classified. Moreover, few studies have applied a girth ratio approach to body typing. This study proposes a bust-to-waist girth ratio approach for identifying female body shapes. By applying the proposed approach, body shapes can be accurately classified to develop body measurement charts. Sizes based on regular ratios of different body shapes to one another make sense to clothing manufacturers and also offer benefits in terms of pattern making, pattern grading, marker making, cutting and sewing during production. These results can help manufacturers improve female clothing manufacture by reducing costs and increasing marketplace competitiveness.
