Fusion study of historical fashion and thermal comfort- focusing on thermo-physiological property of Empire style dress

초록

Most historical dress and textile researches take on a social/cultural history-based approach, and have not considered the physiological aspects of the human body in detail. These findings yield valuable insights to this new area of integrated research on costume history and comfort physiology. This study of the Empire style dress could provide an introduction to the unique research field that combines costume history and technology. This study combined fashion history of costume reproduction with clothing comfort science: combination of costume history, construction technology, and measurement engineering is an ingenious idea.
