One of them for the sake of measurement in the field of fashion. The clothes that always hug us in our daily life are certainly made according to our body size so that they are comfortable and safe to wear. One of the body dimensions that is often asked how to measure is hip height. So how do you measure so that the measurement results are precise and precise? Let’s discuss together
Anthropometry in Fashion
Before studying the steps that need to be taken in measuring the height of the pelvis, it’s a good idea to first know what anthropometry is. Anthropometry is an absorption term from the Ancient Greek ‘anthros’ which means human and ‘metri’ which means measurement. So it can be understood that Anthropometry in terms of human measurement. While definitively anthropometry means the dimensions of the human body.
As mentioned earlier, the dimensions of the human body have an important role in everyday life. Because humans are very dynamic living beings, so that over time new needs will grow. Like a basic need, namely clothing, like humans who continue to transform, fashion styles are always transformed. Not only to cover the body and keep the body warm, fashion design is now also paying attention to the safety and comfort of the human body. Comfort in dress will certainly be achieved when the size fits our bodies. Hence the need for precise measurements.
The measurement in question is of course not only seen from height and weight. It is necessary to pay attention to a number of measurements in other body dimensions, because the size and shape of each individual’s body is different even though the weight and height are exactly the same. One part of the body that is often a problem of comfort is the height of the pelvis. For that, let’s see together how to accurately measure hip height using a portable anthropometric measuring instrument!
Ways to Measure Hip Height
Hip height has a measuring range from the bottom of the foot to the pelvis. This measurement is usually used as a reference for pants or skirt designs. While the female pelvis is larger and wider than the male pelvis, it is taller (because the iliac crest is higher), narrower, and denser. The distance between the ischial bones is small in men. So it is necessary to do a thorough measurement before starting the design.
Here are the steps you can take to get an accurate measurement of hip height :
- Prepare Anthropometer Bars D and C then combine them with One Sliding block Anthropometer.
- Make sure the object wears the least amount of clothing possible for accurate measurements.
- Place the D block on the base of the step, then pull the sliding block until it reaches the object’s pelvis.
