Comparative Anthropometric Analysis: European vs. South American Morphotypes in Digital Patternmaking
Abstract: This research examines the structural divergence between Italian (Mediterranean) and Brazilian anatomical standards within the framework of high-precision garment construction. While traditional industrial sizing systems rely on simplified circumferential metrics, the Ena Methodology focuses on the sagittal projection and lumbar lordosis variables.
Through systematic analysis and CLO 3D simulation, we demonstrate that the "standard" ease distribution leads to critical balance failures on figures with pronounced posterior volume and specific pelvic tilts. The study provides a mathematical solution for recalibrating pattern geometry to eliminate kinetic tension and ensure ergonomic fit for diverse global populations.
Key analytical focus:
Conversion of obsolete measurement units into high-precision centimeters.
Identification of "Style Constants" vs "Anatomical Variables".
Applied Anthropometry, Pattern Balance Engineering, 3D Garment Simulation, Morphological Diversity, Digital Tailoring.
