abstract = {Using 3D scan data, the ease-space area relations between a standard body and a specific style of 
garment with various sizes are studied. The least square method, cubic polynomial approximation 
and even arc-length with the idea of reverse engineering are employed in analyzing the curves of 
different cross sections of the body and the garment. Moreover, the area between the body surface 
and the garment section curves is used in calculating the ease-space distribution along with the 
changes of the body angles. 30% of the total ease space is distributed in the front and back and 
70% around the sides and waist if the garment is to possess a good appearance, which is provided 
in an evaluation indicator used for the 3D garment simulation. This study is useful in further 
investigation of the fitness of garments on the human body, and it provides an evaluating indicator 
in the 3D garment simulation. It can also be used in firefighting industry for the air gap calculation 
and fireproof clothing.},
