2D-clothing shape design using spline curve

Abstract

Fashion design expresses modernness, reflects changes in a society, economy, politics and culture. As a result, fashion also changes very fast and distinctively, and for that reason the improvement and creativity are indispensable. Nowadays, there are numerous fashion design systems/tools. However, they are more about making the clothes software, therefore the provided shape is limited and the way of rendering is stiff since it does not take the shape of the body into account. Tools like Telesia Creator Fashion Design CAD software provides more freedom in the way of representing the clothing shape. However, it adopts a quite unintuitive way to change the shape of a curve. Consequently, we propose the idea of a 2D clothes design system which allows a designer not only to manually create clothes but also to semi-automatically extract a clothes Spline shape from the input image. In other words, our system is able to provide the reference shape for a designer, as well as allows a designer to create his/her work by integrating some provided shape together or even directly modifying the reference shape to create a new one.
