Özet:

 One of the factors affecting clothing comfort is garment patterns. Some anthropometric measurements are used to create garment patterns, and these measurements should be updated periodically. In this study, which aims to obtain updated anthropometric measurements in womens clothing design, current average values of anthropometric measurements used in womens clothing patterns were determined. Average values of anthropometric measurements based on age groups were revealed. The study also examines the average body types, clothing sizes, and measurement-related problems experienced by women in garments according to different age groups. Additionally, the newly calculated average values of anthropometric measurements used in clothing were compared with the standard body sizes used in the clothing industry. To achieve this aim, a descriptive method was employed. A survey was conducted with 202 women aged 18-65 living in Ankara, and 35 anthropometric measurements used in clothing were taken. The collected data were analyzed by using the SPSS v.25 program. The general results revealed that the average weight of the women was 70.4 kg, their average height was 1.59 meters, the average bust circumference was 98 cm, the waist circumference was 84 cm, and the hip circumference was 107.5 cm. Furthermore, the study found that womens body measurements did not align with the standard sizes used in ready-made clothing. The most common issues were with lower garments, and it was observed that as women age, their body types tend to become more rectangular.

 Giysi konforunu etkileyen faktörlerden birisi de giysi kalıplarıdır. Giysi kalıplarının elde edilmesinde kullanılan bazı antropometrik ölçüler bulunmaktadır ve bu ölçüler belirli aralıklar ile güncellenmelidir. Kadın giysi tasarımında güncel antropometrik ölçülerin elde edilmesini amaçlayan bu araştırmada, kadın giysi kalıplarında kullanılmakta olan antropometrik ölçülerin güncel ortalama değerleri tespit edilmiştir. Yaş aralıklarına göre antropometrik ölçülerinin ortalama değerleri ortaya konmuştur. Yaş aralıklarına göre ortalama vücut tipleri, beden numaraları ve kadınların giyim ürünlerinde yaşadıkları ölçü kaynaklı problemler belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca giyimde kullanılan antropometrik ölçülerin yeni ortalama değerleri ile giyimde kullanılan standart beden ölçüleri karşılaştırılmıştır. Araştırmanın amacı doğrultusunda betimsel yöntem kullanılmıştır. Bu bağlamda Ankarada yaşamakta olan 18-65 yaş arası 202 kadına anket uygulanmış ve giyimde kullanılan 35 antropometrik ölçü alınmıştır. Toplanan veriler SPSS v.25 programında analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen verilerin genel sonuçlarına bakıldığında, kadınların ağırlık ortalaması 70,4 kg, boy ortalaması 1,59 cm, göğüs çevresi 98 cm, bel çevresi 84 cm, kalça çevresi 107,5 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca araştırma sonucunda kadınların beden ölçülerinin hazır giyimdeki standart beden ölçülerine uymadığı, genellikle alt giysi gruplarında problem yaşadıkları ve kadınların yaş aldıkça vücut tiplerinin genellikle dikdörtgene döndüğü tespit edilmiştir.
