The Influence of Design Analysis and Body Measurement Capabilities on a Designer's Speed and Accuracy in Cloth-Making

Abstract

To make clothes, a designer must have analysis design and also the capability to measure the body to ensure speed and accuracy in the process. The purpose of this study is to determine how students' competence in terms of design analysis and the capability to measure the body with speed and accuracy to produce clothing. This is a cross-sectional study with a quantitative design. A questionnaire is used in data collection techniques. This study sampled 96 fashion design students using a simple random sampling technique. Using the SPSS 21 program, data was analyzed using a chi-square test. The findings of the study revealed a significant relationship between body measurement capability and clothmaking speed (p = 0.0001) and accuracy (p = 0.0001). However, the speed (p = 0.042) but not the accuracy (p = 0.092) of cloth-making were affected by the design analysis capability.
